To get the video feed from OBS to Teams last year required a few arduous steps, but software upgrades have made it very easy now. Just like last year, I had to set up scenes in OBS the way that would work for what I needed to do. There are numerous tutorials on YouTube on how OBS works, and it would be a good idea to watch a couple of tutorials to learn the basics as it’s not necessarily the most intuitive of programs. One thing I needed to get was another capture card, and I ended up purchasing another Elgato Cam Link 4K. Camera set up was easy as OBS can handle multiple cameras. Having two co-hosts meant having twice the set up as last year, and luckily, I already had mostly everything I needed to broadcast two people. Hardware-wise, things didn’t really change too much. It might be a good idea to read my first blog post about online presentations as there is some information in that post I won’t be repeating in this one. We also decided to have two co-hosts, which added a little more complication to the broadcast, so I wanted to write about that set up. During the past year, there have been a few changes and updates to software (Microsoft Teams and OBS), which made me think I should write an update to the original post. With the high spread of Omicron happening in the background while we were planning the 2021 CTE, we decided to play it safe and keep the event online again.

Last year, I wrote a blog post detailing what I learned to virtually deliver our Annual Celebration of Teaching Excellence (CTE).
