Recording my screen while broadcasting something completely different?

[natv]

I use OBS's virtual cam to display myself in Zoom/MS Teams, etc (as if it's my webcam, not to show my screen as well)

Sometimes though, I want to also record the Zoom/Teams meeting. Normally if I didn't have my webcam on I'd just use OBS to record the browser or display. But I can't do this if I'm in the meeting with my video on (as I only want to present myself, NOT my screen too)

What's the workaround for this? Can OBS be run twice or will that cause issues?

Or otherwise, can someone recommend a lightweight app that just records the screen (and audio of course)


Thanks

You can (and need to) run OBS twice. You need two instances, because you want to output two different scenes at the same time: one scene is your webcam capture and the other scene is your screen capture. One instance of OBS is able to output the same scene only.
