POWERPOINT IN OBS

[Anthony Sheppard]

I hope to use OBS for Powerpoint presentations over Zoom, so that I remain visible alongside the slide show. I can show the Powerpoint window OK, but the slide is too small and fuzzy to be clearly legible. I can change to Slide Show view, but when I advance the slide in Slideshow view, the change does not appear on the OBS virtual camera. (Sorry if this has already been answered.)

Not sure exactly, but food for thought
I stream every week (house of worship) using PowerPoint. I use Windowed (not Full screen) Slide show mode. and then use Window capture (using BitBlt so cursor doesn't appear) pay attention to Window matching (my filename changes each week, which is fine, but I don't use exact match)
I'm also not using Virtual Cam... so not sure what impact that would have. And I'm NOT using OBS's Studio mode (no need for it for me/us)
For me, changing PPTx slide immediately shows up in OBS... not problem

Thanks to both for your comments. It's probably simpler with Zoom just to remind the audience they can select 'Speaker View at side' when the presenter shares a screen!
