Don't forget the step where you record yourself sitting there for a couple minutes, and then create a scene that loops this recording. Way better than sitting through all those boring meetings :)
😂 great tip!
Matt is a genius !!!!
😂😂😂
I always do this 🤣
♥️ *Ha!*
Alternate title: How to go from $80 setup to $300 setup in less than 10 seconds.
Facts it's never easy.
300? More like 1000
LOL
I immediately stopped watching when he basically said... if you buy a DSLR then your video will be better. idiot
Yeah. I really thought he would make adjusments on the white balance, and some tips on lighting. This is just ridiculous
When he said "life is starting to slowly go back to normal" I thought "yup, hehe. nope." Thanks for the video!!
Haha..me too😂😂😂
Why do you need any plugins for OBS, i thought it can do this out of the box?
Depends where you live I guess. Here things have been normal for months.
This video needs to go viral. All the educational institutions and non profit organizations, or whoever using zoom for their work platform these days. They need to watch this video.
And here I am impressing my students with my gamer headphones. I wish I had the energy to make this happen. Thank you, maybe if this continues next year I’ll come back to this. Love, peace and look after ourselves.
I had to go through lots of videos to learn how to do this and you sir explained it pretty easily in ten minutes. I couldn't find how to play a playlist for sports classes so I thank you for this.
yes
it's actually 10 mins and 2 secs...
Same here 😊
Thanks for putting this together. I wasn't aware of OBS Studio, but am quite aware of the need for it. With the help of your video, it should be pretty easy to get it set up and working and make those video conferences much better.
Fantastic tutorial! One of the best I have come across on the internet. I searched on how to improve Zoom conferencing for weeks now. I don't know why, but in the past few weeks, your video never came up on RUclips search. This would've saved me so much time if I found it earlier.
Thanks Tom. Totally with you. I improved my Zoom calls with soft LED light and connecting my T2i to my Macbook but your video inspired not to procastinate further and implement OBS. Better control and creative options. Cheers
It's looking fantastic! Great job. 100 times better. I think the light and sound is the most important but the camera will probably help the lighting as well and not have that auto-exposure from web-cam. You can set an exposure and Depth of Field etc.
Another great video Tom. I love how you cut to the chase and show the physical detail of everything you present. I have been asked to livestream an event and have never done that in my professional career. There is a lot more to it than I thought but I am going to borrow a Blackmagic ATEM Mini for it. OBS is a great option though and apparently if your laptop can handle it you can use it to switch between a couple of cameras.
Tom, your video instruction ROCKS! Works on the first try! Thank you so much. 👍😁 Now all my video and audio will look and sound amazing. My Logitech C920 Webcam never made me look so good until now. Having a wireless iPhone for video camera using iVcam is so amazing. The ultimate setup. Thanks again.
Dear Tom, once again a great presentation. Thank you.
Thank You a lot! Until 10 minutes ago I was pretty sure that OBS was useful only for streamers on RUclips and Twitch. But now I have a new point of view. Very good tutorial.
This is a fantastic, easy to understand, and to the point tutorial. One of the best on the internet.
Thanks Tom!
This blew my mind! I didn't know this existed! Thank you! Hugs from Mexico! 💯
Great tutorial Tom! Thanks for explaining it in good detail
Brilliant! - Simply put, clear step by step explanation. I didn't know it would be this easy. Thanks Tom
I just tried it and it works really well! Thank you so much for making the efforts to upload this video!
Title should say: Enhance your video quality changing your camera and mic and reserve 2hrs before the meeting to configure the stuff
♥️ _Huh... !_
*Learned something new (and invaluable) today.*
Thank you, Tom.
A truly excellent video! I have been using ecamm, which is great but I couldn’t get it to work that well with zoom. I shall start playing tomorrow! Many thanks!
Great video! Don't forget you can add VST audio plugins in OBS to enhance the sound. Also, OBS let's you offset your audio source in milliseconds for syncing with the video. An alternative virtual audio driver is source-nexus free, but only available for Mac.
I believe this is one of the best Zoom instructional videos available in the World. Thank you.
Omg !! Wowwwww!!!!!!!! This is the most helpful video on RUclips thank you I’m so grateful 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you :) that virtual audio cable really helps with filtering out random noise
This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for this quick and clear video
Beautiful! God bless you brother. This info is truly a blessing. Just Sub'd. God bless
Thanks for the Tips! Very Helpful!
Awesome! Particularly like the pre-roll capabilities, great foe 'presentation' will be starting shortly' kind of content.
Loving your Bell & Howell 16mm projector in the background! :-)
Excellent info, and very helpful. Thanks! 👌
This is awesome, thank you. i’m using my Fujifilm X-T2 and it works great thanks again.
Thanks Tom! Incredible instructive for me.
Requires that you have both OBS Studio and Zoom running at same time. There was no advantage of using OBS with Zoom unless you want to enhance your Zoom recording. Stick with regular Zoom settings. OBS Studio and Streamlabs OBS is for people who want to get their stuff "creative videos" on Twitch, You Tube or some other website. However, if you have a DSLR / EOS mirrorless camera such as Canon M50 or SONY A6000 with a RODE microphone or other mic., then using the Guide that Tom Antos provided will make a difference for beginners with more expensive equipment. I tried enhancing the use of my Logitech BRIO 4K webcam using this guide and it did not produce a better teleconferencing experience or any difference than using Zoom by itself. However, Tom does deserve credit as there is some benefit to watching and following this guide/ tutorial. Thank you! and be safe.
Great video!! Thank you for making it so much easier to understand.
you are my new guru, thank you man, liked and suscribed
Great video, Tom. I use Ecamm Live with my DSLR, direct USB connection, and Macbook Pro as my main stream set up, but I also have a BM Video Converter for when I want to use my PC laptop with OBS. Haven't done much with that yet, but this will help speed things up nicely. Stay safe!
Excellent Info Packed Video, very useful. THANK YOU!!!
This really helped me. Going to Implement all of these things today
Thank you mate. This is fantastic.
WOW Great video! this is exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much!!
Bro this was a really great walkthrough.
Thanks David
Really helpful information. Will get to work on this...
Me
Watching the title : Yes
Watching the whole video : Nope
One issue you’ll face with zoom is resolution. You will see your content (camera, lower thirds, slides, etc) in OBS looking great but when you get them into Zoom through the virtual camera, the resolution is bad. This is because Zoom does not support HD 1080p video at the moment, due to the pandemic. So keep that in mind.
that was my question also. its ok when I direct present, but through OBS its fuzzy and useless. I reached out to Zoom support, but obviously nothing. You say "due to the pandemic", does that mean they have announced something?
I’m agree , the video resolution very bad from another participant, also when you open power point from obs to zoom 🤣
Great suggestions, very well done.
Collect some scenes for business use, and some alternates for the virtual happy hours. Fun.
This is all great, only issue is I am not making any money at the moment so Mac cam and daylight is what im working with!
Good info. Thanks, Tom. 👍
Excelente, muchas gracias por compartir. No soy fan de usar zoom pero a veces uno quiere verse mejor cuando lo haces por trabajo o con los amigos.
Excellent video tutorial. Thank you 👌🏼
The OBS Studio information was really interesting but the stated premise of the video was a little misleading because the most important thing you did to enhance your video and audio quality involved buying a video camera, big light, and headphones with a good quality built-in mic, all of which are definitely not free, and probably overkill for the basic video conferencing that I and others like me do.
It wasnt misleading. You saw what you wanted to see.
@@COLE_PRODUCTIONS at 1:15 in the video you state clearly that you will show us how to do a "simple and free upgrade to improve the quality."
@@benkpeltz and he immediately followed that up with what he meant. The hardware aspect of the video were suggestions. I guess common sense isn't all that common.
@@COLE_PRODUCTIONS good luck getting anywhere near the improvements that he got without the hardware upgrades. I'm not upset by it. I genuinely found the video interesting. But including the free claim in the hook is definitely misleading. 🤷♂️
you can use your hp camera and there are tutorials for it as well. cant expect to be spoonfed all the time
For mister anyone, which is most of us, the default image is fair enough.
We don't care for image quality that much.
Now sure if you want to look "pro" and or make videos, that's a bunch of nice enhancements.
I came here out of curiosity. Might come in handy one day.
Thank you!, subbed!
Thank you ❤️ it solved my issue
Thank you very much for the excellent tutorial. Just a question, ¿does OBS work with Teams?
Thanks for the explanation !
Thank you very much for your post , I’m
Now elated to be able to start to use OBS
That was neat, do you in your current config bind these intros, vids, and endings to a stream deck or do you manually click it in OBS?
Thank you, friend. Very informative.
Thank you...love from Canada
Really useful, thanks!
I spent hours trying to figure this out in OBS when Zoom got popular. Who knew you needed a whole plugin to use the virtual cam feature? Thank you!!!
Virtual Camera is now part of the base package for OBS. All you need to do now is click on Start/Stop Virtual Camera over near the start Streaming and settings button area.
Yes, Virtual amera is now part of the core program in v. 26 release. And it works very well! But it still doesn’t output audio, unfortunately. So the virtual audio cable is still needed.
@@oneiropagides342 not 100% true, provided audio settings in OBS are set properly, and computer audio is “joined” in zoom, it will send thru audio just fine without the need of the virtual audio plugin. I do not have virtual audio cable plugin installed and my audio routes from the OBS virtual camera just fine.
Super helpful and great timing! Thanks Tom! I’m working on setting up a rig for a virtual conference and have been trying to figure this stuff out. Do you know of a good lav mic to plug into the Rode transmitter so I don’t have to connect the whole box to my presenter/talent?
Hi, yes use this lav mic that you can find on Amazon amzn.to/2ZZSYjJ or also on B&H bhpho.to/2W9Ld9O
what a great video .. this was so helpful !!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Thank you. Very informative. 👍
Thanks for sharing. In addition, I am using NDI Tools which is free. It can bring live video from my smart phone via the network into OBS as a second video source so I now I can switch between 2 different camera angles.
Oh, what a lovely accent!
Thanks, Tom! I’m a high school teacher, and this will definitely help make my lessons look more professional. What kinds of lights do you use? My kit gets to be about 1000 degrees, so I’m looking for something cheap that won’t get too hot.
If you have a desktop get a better heatsink or replace thermal paste to sort out cooling
Here is a very affordable lighting option www.amazon.ca/dp/B08L4MT463/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Rvi7FbWYXSFGQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Amazing!! Thank you so much!!!
supercool! VERY helpful!!!
Very good video , simple and informative !!
Includes great informations for beginners like me.,feel like gold🥳🥳🥳
Thanks Tom - that was the best video how to Enhance Your ZOOM Video Conferencing Qualityn - All thebest
One of the best and to the point video on how to have better audio and video quality! Question though, will there be any lag in audio if we were to use external mic and camera?
Thank you for this video.
Fantastic! Now all I need is money. Wish I could enhance that first.
Hi Tom, you did you colour grade your live stream?
Thanks for sharing
"how to enhance zoom conference just by...buying new stuff"
Or not…
Great video showcasing enhancements regarding Zoom video conferencing quality. Additionally, one can also use tools like R-HUB HD video conferencing servers, Webex, Gomeetnow, Gotomeeting etc. for getting wonderful video conferencing experience.
Great video, lots of effort, really appreciate it
Thank you!
Thanks for the tip that i can improve my quality for free by buying some equipment. Really helped me out!
Perhaps you should watch the video again. It shows how you can do it for free using free software and better lighting decisions then there are tips how to improve it even more by buying accessories or using your existing Bluetooth mic. Ita amazing what you can do if you actually pay attention first. Best of luck!
@@TomAntos You are totally right on that. Sry for accusing you in an inappropriate sarcastic way. I will watch it all the way through. I was confused. Thanks for your respone!
Great video. Thank you.
Just noticed of you take the T from your last name and put it in the beginning you get Tanos🤣.
Amazing video by the way
Gud vid. Lol also noticed your out point wasn't set just right
Really so pro. Thank you.
Great video, well explained
This is a good video. What's the 35mm equivalent focal length you're using, and how far are you from the camera? How far is it from you to the far wall/background? I have a room where I can put the camera 6' away with a background that is 6' away, and even at f/2.8 on a Micro Four Thirds sensor I can't get the DoF.
hi, thanks for very informative video. very helpful. I am trying to use DSLR D3100 but the red square while recording is not disappearing, do you have any advise? thanks
nice tutorial. Question about quality of video on the receiving end of zoom conference calls. Doesn't zoom limit the quality / resolution of the video that is being shown, in order to preserve the bandwidth for the two/multiway conversation that happens there? As a result, isn't there limits on how well the video will look on zoom, given these limitations? I can imagine how the video for recorded stuff will look great, limited only by your own machine and parameters, but wondering how much zoom limits the production value? For example, that camera you talk about is a really nice one - can someone on zoom tell the difference if I'm using that vs. say a gopro?
Thank You Tom ♥♥♥
It doesn't matter where you are now on this plant, if you read this, I wish you a wonderful and happy life where all dreams and aspirations come through! Wishing you this from America. ❤️😊
It is very useful, thank you.
Very useful thanks
very good video! Virtual cam now included in OBS, so that is one step less. ;-)
damn amazing! You saved my bacon. Thank you!
Beautiful presentation sir.. helped a lott. Thank u soooo muchhh😇😇💐🥂🥂
Thank you ☺️
Loved it..❤️❤️
