Online training. While the focus clearly shall be on putting new concepts to practice, for the parts where I’m telling or displaying, I’ve been looking at touching up my appearance. Enter OBS, or Online Broadcasting Software. However, in a classroom setting, I don’t want to stream my view via Youtube etc, but just use the video call solution used (Zoom, MS Teams, Webex, WhereBy, BlueJeans, …).
Here’s how I got the V4L sink plugin to work.
