My setup for remote teaching or streaming

I recently built a youtube channel with coding lessons for teachers and code newbies ( see the list here: Coding Lessons Playlist ).

I want to share my streaming setup with you.

Check the link above to see the setup in action.

It has 2 cameras: one for me and one overhead camera to capture the notebook.
Behind is a green screen.
The software that binds these together is OBS. It also handles streaming or acts as a virtual camera.

Although I’m using it for youtube, you can actually teach via Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc. The OBS software has a feature called “Virtual Camera”. Just activate the camera and then in Zoom select that virtual camera instead of your regular one.

P.S. Earlier I also attempted a mobile setup that I didn’t use in the end.
