Finally! After watching many convoluted tutorials on OBS, this is the first one that makes sense. Thank you.

Finally!!!! A natural teacher instead of someone trying to prove how smart they are!!!

A very orderly and clear presentation as to how to join OBS and PowerPoint. Well done. Thank you. You have been helpful.

This is one of the most helpful explanations I've seen regarding how to configure OBS and Powerpoint to make a Presentation. Thank you very much.

This is an extremely well-done and CONCISE explanation of how to set up scenes with a PowerPoint (or Keynote) presentation in OBS. I’ve watched several others that made the process seem daunting and convoluted; they were also MUCH longer. Thank you for simplifying this … and for delivering the material so pleasantly!

Hello Dr. James clark, Thank you for this video it is very useful especially for teachers like me who went to share their slides for the students in this time of the pandemic. We need more videos like this! Bereket Amare from Ethiopia

Thank you. I've been using OBS for 4 years and I didn't know I can copy and paste sources till I watched this video. I had to meticulously add them into each scene every single time!

I will point interested colleagues in this direction. You give a concise summary of the setup. I’ve done much with OBS, but it has taken quite a bit of faffing about on my part to get there. Having access to concise tutorials will encourage others to use OBS, which I find to be most helpful for teaching remotely.

You can tell there's a skilled educator at work here in this (and other) tutorials from Dory Video. I picked up some very useful tips & tricks for my own presentations (getting my colleagues familiar with a new software package and new internal operational processes).

Hi James, thanks for this OBS video. Very clearly explained. Very useful for new OBS users. I have subscribed to your channel.

You are amazingly clear and pleasant when explaining things. Wow!!!

Exactly what I was looking for. The presentation is well articulated and phenomenal. Just subscribed to your channel. Would love to follow up on all your videos whenever they are out. You are a blessing to us in Low-income countries. I accessed this video from a village in one of the poorest countries in West Africa where there is no electricity, no good roads, and running water, just using a small solar pannel. That is how much impact you are creating James.

MERCI beaucoup! I'm a teacher here in Québec... and you've just made me save hours of fiddling about! Subscribe, bell and recommend!

So awesome. Thank you. Now I just need to figure out how to either make Google Slides do the same thing or load a PDF that I can walk through instead. I've figured a dirty workaround with Google Slides but still looking to make it more elegant. A PDF I can click through would be preferred so I'm going to go through your channel and see if there is anything about that. Either way though this has to be the absolute best presented tutorial I have seen in decades!

Nice video (Super clear enunciation!). If you load an empty PPT (or PDF in my case) and select "match title, otherwise find window of same executable", you'll find the layout more portable. Reference to Blue Peter was wild, thanks for that :-)

Excellent 👌 Precise 👌 Informative👌 Elaborate 👌 In all the best 👌👌👌Video James👍 Greetings from INDIA 🇮🇳🙏

Good old fashioned teaching! No trendy loud music and fast talk!! Excellent. Although on Mac my window source does not find application windows on other desktops.

Very nice tutorial. Loved your clear English😄

Best OBS Tutorial for Trainers and "educational" content creators. Thank you SO MUCH!! Very well done! The Application topic now has a few changes with the new OBS update, but that's doable.... Any tips for Google slides presentations from anyone?

Exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!

Excellent, veryu useful. Thanks for this

This is so useful, thanks James

Cropping can also be done by Alt Key and mouse on the resize selectiondots.

Thanks for you clear tutorial~

Nice presentation 👍

Excellent video! I agree with the complimentary comments below!

Excellent. Thank you.

Excellent

good demonstration

Dear Sir, Really Useful Video....🙏

Thank you very much for this very calmed and greatly explained tutorial! I’m a language teacher and I share my iPad screen with my presentation so that I can annotate directly on them. But I would like to have a way to also display my students sharing on zoom so I see if they’re doing the exercises right. I’m still searching for a way to do it, but I guess it won’t be possible. Please if you know, help me out with this need I have. Thanks again! Great video!

Thank you very much teacher

Very useful video for teachers like me

Very useful! Thanks! Can I use a scrolling PDF file instead Power Point but in the same way as you explained it? Thanks! Just subscribed.

Thank you

Hi, I have one question - if i wanted the camera to be at the same height like the presentation but in a narrower width?

hi there! thanx for your obs-demo! for a newbee there remain some questions open. say I want to record a presentation (power point or the like = pp), show myself (greenscreen or not) on top or not, and be able to read a script. so I guess I'll have to open three programs on a screen simultaneously at least: the presentation-program, obs (wherein my camera is visible in a scene as source) and a text-program, so I can see and manipulate everything (selecting scenes and/or layers). but how can I now make sure best that the viewer (streaming or not) sees just the main-screen of my pp (without controls), with me on top or not, as I chose? would/could I just use the pp in a scene as source or could/should I chose a section of my huge screen (= mainscreen of pp) with everything on it?? / and what would I do to run everyhing as noiseless as possible: 1. on a pc without fan, i.e. a "mini-pc" (performance requirements??), 2. touch-pad instead of mouse and possibly a remote control for my pp? so could you please demonstrate or explain how you see all the sources, but limit the presentation to the main-screen (without the controls, e.g. the slide-overview...) thanx for answering these questions regarding a probably very usual pratical situation!

A really useful tutorial. One question: it is possible to add an image on the background behind the ppt. and the cam instead of having a black screen? Thanks.

BRILLIANT!!!!

Thank you for this clear and easy to follow tutorial. Very helpful, but in my case on my slide scene the PowerPoint don't shows up in the drop down window

This is precisely how I've been doing it.

My scene at obs is hidden but I can see my source and other features I can see. Where should I navigate to show my scene.

Question, why didn't you create a "common" scene with all what is common: camera, mic etc) and imported that scene inside the other ones you need? Is there a specific reason for this? Thank you. P.S. very useful the mouse-highlighter. Something I have not yet found for OBS

At about 6:09 when you set the display capture function, your screen shows "Display and Crop" button and you can crop "To window" at Crop button. But I can't do like that. Mine does not have "Crop", but just have "Display"button.Could you help me to solve that, please?

Does anyone else not have the crop option at @6:16 ? Mine only has display

Hello, first I like to thank you about this lecture , and I hope to help me to make video lecture of 25 slide with size less than 200 mb.( how can I set the OBS studio to reach this goal). Thank you for cooperation with regards

It is not very convenient to show the powerpoint without notes. I wonder if there is a way around to show the powerpoint with the notes that do appear only to the presenter

Thanks a lot, i also want to share something. Unfortunately your settings suggestions seems wrong, for example you should not use mp4 output because it exports the recorded video in the end of the recording process (when you click stop recording). It is problematic because in a case of errors, power corruption or software runtime exceptions, you will lost all record file. So this is why .mkv is recommended, it saves each frame of video on your disk. The other issue is using stream quality high will give you huge file, it is hard to store, upload, share. As an instructor we generally share a document, power point etc, audio quality is important but video frame rate can be reduced or simply use other resolution with same ratio (16:9), it does not affect the material quality if we use medium standart. Regards.

It is nicely explained but not working in OBS 27.1.3, 2021 version

Problem - My version doesn't have that cool crop ability! Anyone using the PC version will likely have this problem. Solution - Workaround for PCs - Right-click on the source and select Filters. Click the + button and select Crop/Pad. Mod as needed and click Close.
