Today, we will show you how to use Virtual Webcam to display your scenes from Streamlabs Desktop in video conferencing software like Zoom.
Most video conferencing software is limited in the information you can show on the screen. It is usually restricted to capturing your whole screen or your webcam. As working from home continues to become the new normal, and video conferencing become more prevalent, software like Streamlabs Desktop gives you greater creative control in how you display information on the screen.
With Streamlabs Desktop, you can add custom images to the screen, or add your logo in the corner. If you have a green screen, you can seamlessly insert yourself into the presentation, and you can even add intermission scenes if you or your audience need to take a break.
