Some people also use the presets in OBS for streaming via YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and Facebook. There are versions of OBS Studio available for Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux distributions, and BSD. OBS provides real-time source and device capture, scene composition, encoding, recording, and broadcasting. If you have ever watched a speaker bring their slides into their video box, they are using a program like OBS, or maybe they are using OBS. Some people also already use OBS to add fancy scenes to their presentations. Open Broadcaster Software or OBS Studio is a free and open-source software suite for recording and live streaming. This tutorial is to show you how to use OBS as a screen recorder option. I created this video to support a client with extra value, and we wanted to share it with you. In-person, this may seem simple, you hit record and then playback, but online you may find the learning curve a bit confusing. You may be putting people into breakouts and having a facilitator lead the role-playing. Roll-plays give people the opportunity to practice what they have learned and get some coaching to improve.

The reason we would want to screen record in real-time and play it back is for using role-plays as a learning technique and tool. I have used a few screen recording options, and one that many people use is OBS.

We can also record in Zoom, to the cloud or onto our computers, BUT if we want to record and play it back in real-time we need to use a screen recorder. With Zoom, you see the recording after you end the meeting.

We can do a lot in Zoom, to facilitate engagement, connection and collaboration.
