Anyone know if I could use green-screen background video in a Teams meeting?
Thanks adam deltinger, would that limited to Teams Live Events or could it work for Teams meetings as well?
You can use OBS, a chroma key filter on your input, and output it to the OBSCamera plugin I showed then pipe that into Teams. Piping audio over is a much harder issue, but if all you want is greenscreen and you still use your mic for audio it's easy.
Hi all- I'm new at this!
I'm a teacher working from home and would like to know how to use a Greenscreen with my logitech c922 in Microsoft team meetings. It seems like it's possible, but I'm a bit stuck. Does anyone have a step by step of how I can use this? I'm on a mac.
Thanks!As someone else mentioned, set it up using OBS as a virtual camera. You may experience a little lag but it is normally acceptable. So far as I am aware, Teams does not have the Green Screen functionality that Zoom does, for working with virtual backgrounds.
- There is the background feature built into Teams on newish hardware, but being on mac there really isn't a good virtual cam option for it. You can read this tutorial but it's not as easy as it is on a PC. https://streamshark.io/blog/using-obs-as-a-virtual-webcam-on-windows-and-macos/
ChrisWebbTech Thanks for your help mate! Should I then be able to 'pip' this into a microsoft teams meeting?
- You have to add your background pictures to one of the app's folders. Sorry not sure which one as I'm on Windows.
- But also, keep in mind, when you use it in the meeting, you only get a 1/4 screen realestate. You can't fullscreen your video feed or pin your feed as the primary as of yet. If you want fullscreen you'll have to use live events.
