Record a team lesson or presentation with 2 or more people using Zoom, Skype, Teams or any other video chat service. But instead of using Zoom or Skype to record, you record your webcam to your hard drive using OBS<\/a>, the free cross-platform software that can run on most computers. Put the lesson together after the fact using video editing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare:<\/strong>
All participants should have access to a PC or laptop computer. Recording locally will not work on tablets or phones.
Please follow this link to <\/a>install OBS software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works.<\/strong>
-Each person records their own webcam to their computer in OBS.
-You can use Zoom, Skype or any other video chat software as usual.
-On most computers the OBS software and chat software can share the webcam & audio input.
-You combine the files afterwards in video editing software.
-A split screen or grid view can be created in addition to singles of each speaker.
-The advantage is that the quality of the recorded video is only limited by the webcam & microphone used. No video is being compressed to send over the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team record session<\/strong>
-Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive to record.
-Start OBS, check settings, framing, audio.
-Connect earbuds or USB mic<\/a> for good audio.
-Start the Zoom, Skype or other chat meeting.
-When ready to start the recording
-Each participant starts their OBS recording.
-Count to 5(silent), begin.
-At the end of the recording please don\u2019t rush to stop recording, count to 5 then turn off OBS.
-Before you get off the video chat make sure you all have a good recording.
-The video can be uploaded to Dropbox, Wetransfer , Google drive, Smash <\/a>or any other file sharing service.
-Please use \u201csharable link\u201d option.
-Before emailing the link: copy & paste into another browser that you are not logged into and check if the file is good.
-As a bonus you can also use the OBS software to capture your computer screen.
-Record the computer screen with Display Capture in OBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editing software:<\/strong>
Warning: <\/strong>Do not use PowerPoint or any other presentation software or Smart board software to edit video! This software will cause sync issues with audio\/video. It is not designed for editing video.
I recommend:
-Davinci Resolve (Free & Cross platform)
https:\/\/www.blackmagicdesign.com\/products\/davinciresolve\/<\/a>
Beginners Tutorial<\/a>
<\/a>-iMovie (iMovie comes included with most Macs)
-Media Composer First (Free & cross platform)

Optimized Zoom & OBS settings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OBS<\/strong>
If your computer is struggling to keep up with OBS & Zoom\/Skype at the same time and you get stuttering video.
1. OBS settings > Output > set Encoder to> Software (x264 Low CPU usage)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
OBS output low CPU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
  1. Restart the computer before each recording session.<\/li>
  2. Make sure browsers, email and any other software are closed.<\/li>
  3. After starting the recording in OBS> minimize the OBS window and only have the Zoom or Skype window open.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
