The problem is that OBS is not configured to stream to Zoom. Toggling between two scenes: one with our logo, one without. For me, all I wanted to do was add the BNB logo to my calls. The breadth of what it can do is beyond the scope of this note. Apparently it is what all the cool kids use to stream their video games to Twitch. Is an amazing tool for doing live video production. So here is how I was able to use some free tools to make my Zoom calls a little more interesting (note: the order of operations is important here): But honestly, I just wanted to give the rest of the team something to laugh at. In practice we could use this during client presentations. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see if I could level-up my Zoom game. We also used Zoom to celebrate Final Fridays with the outstanding gameĪdd in the time spent video calling family and friends in the evening and I'm spending about 8 hours a day on Zoom to navigate this pandemic. But it is nice to be able to see other humans, and have a quick way to ask them questions. We also maintain watercooler Zoom rooms where folks can drop in and hang out.

We immediately implemented daily status calls as a way to check in and see each other. Back at home, we have been relying heavily on video conferencing (via Zoom) to stay in touch with the rest of the team, to pair program, and to meet with clients.
