Question / Help Can I stream a video in the backgroudn with a green screen?

[Baldo]

Hi,

How can I stream a live video with a green screen background with me in the foreground?

Is there someway to do this, similar to having the virtual background in zoom. I don't want to use zoom as the bandwidth may not be high enough.

many thanks

That's what the chroma filter is for. Apply the chroma filter to your camera source and configure the correct green. If done correctly, the green background in your camera source is replaced with transparency and you will see any source that is below your camera source in OBS as background.

How do I choose the camera source? I can't seem to find it..

You wrote "me in the foreground", so I assume you have some kind of camera filming you and already put into OBS as source. Apply the filter to that source.
In case you don't know how to use OBS, look here: https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Quickstart

Thanks mate. that's really helpful.

I have now added the camera as the video capture device.

How do I now apply the Chroma filter to my camera source?

We are nearly there.

Applying filters has also a guide. Please have a look at the documentation index.

By the way, you're not even remotely there. You are right at the beginning and just made your first step.

Really? I'm only at the beginning??? Ah well...a journey of a 10,000 steps begins with one step.
