Although this is not the intended purpose of OBS software, a growing number of online teachers are using it to display images and gifs in their online classroom presentations. They load a bunch of images (jpgs, png, and gifs) in "sources" and then showing the images to their students at appropriate times during lessons. It would be very helpful if there was a plug-in that gave teachers a search box for "sources." That way, teachers could have hundreds of images loaded in advance and could rapidly find the one they needed by simply typing the first few letters of its name in the "search" field.

OBS has been extremely helpful in my classes. I teach young students and when they don't understand something, I can quickly and easily show them a photo. They love getting to see funny gifs as a reward too. There is no software out there that works as well for teachers as OBS does, so a big thank you to the people who created it and maintain it.
 
Trying to load hundreds of images into OBS this way is probably not a good idea. Almost any existing slideshow or image catalog program would be a better choice, and then the output of that program could be added as a source in OBS.

Thank you, Narcogen! I will give that a try.

I've been using OBS for my online classes for more than a year already, and now I'm using it even more often (for all distant classes at Bradley University). Have you tried an OBS-VirtualCam, OBS plugin that helps create a virtual webcam device with an OBS output?

A good tutorial: Taking Your Teaching Online - a guide how to use OBS by Kevin Lewis.
