Hi OBS Fam!

Recording "live to hard drive" and editing different video assets together are two different approaches to creating a video.

And both of them are legitimate approaches to creating video content.

In this episode of OBS Obsessed, I want to talk to you about how you might use OBS Studio in both of these ways of working.

Let's talk about:

• Capture video and editing
• Screen share
• Slides
• Recording scenes and sources and program feeds

I hope you'll join me!

Hey OBS Fam!

This week on OBS Obsessed I'm talking about some use cases for OBS Studio for podcasters and podcasting.

I realise there's a bit of sensitivity around the definition of "podcasting" is in 2025, whether to do video or not, and I don't really intend to get into that...

What I do want to give you, though, is some tools to add to your toolbox that can reach for whenever you feel they are appropriate.

Let's talk about:

• Recording your own side of a conversation or interview (video and audio, or just audio) for content, clips and repurposing
• Changing how you show up on webcam to incorporate some of your podcast's branding and calls to action
• Working with a virtual camera that doesn't necessarily have to feature you on camera (image overlays, audio visualizers and other things)
• and more!

Hi OBS Fam!

This week on OBS Obsessed, let's talk about filters.

OBS Studio gives you a variety of audio, video and effect filters you can apply to various sources. And you might even have a few extra if you've installed certain plugins.

Filters can do things like:

• Remove green screens, blue screens and backgrounds;
• Adjust brightness and contrast;
• Adjust your audio settings with things like compression, noise suppression, limiters and more;
• Scroll effects, and much more!

Join me as we unpack some of the options.

Hi OBS Fam!

This week on OBS Obsessed we're looking at two epic plugins from Aitum.

• Aitum Vertical: Which gives you a second canvas that you can use for Vertical streaming or recording or both.
• Aitum Multistream: Which gives you the ability to take your Horizontal and Vertical canvasses and stream they to a whole bunch of different places.

These are both free and awesome and might be of use for streamers and video content creators.

Join me as we unpack what these two plugins might do for you.
