Is it possible to output to a window and then share that window via zoom ?

Hello All

driven by the fact that

Screen share is 1080p
Video is 720 p unless you have > 10 accounts then it is 1080p.

The screen share is at a lower frame rate.

If I can get OBS to out out to a window 1920 x 1080 then I just do a screen share. Can I ?

Thoughts ?

cheers

PS small company only 3 Zoom accounts and they wont sell HD unless yu have > 10 accounts.

The latest version of OBS has what's called a "virtual camera" that, when activated, shows up in ZOom as a video source. SO, instead of a camera on your face, for instance, you choose the Virtual Camera in Zoom and it sends the output of OBS through to the stream. I've used it only very sparingly, but it was pretty sweet when I did.

Thanks twindux - that does work - previously I was using NDI as well. The issue being that is "just" 720 and screen share is 1080 output, hence me trying to do it as a window that is shared...
