OBS Studio is a software that helps you creating engaging online presentations.
What are you up for tonight? A quick bite or a 5 Michelin stars restaurant?
I’d like to introduce you to OBS with a restaurant analogy. Think about a restaurant where you are the chef.
In the restaurant we find:
The dining room where the guests eat at their table
The kitchen where you prepare the tasty courses. Inside the kitchen there’s you, the chef with the ingredients and the cooking pans
The waiter, who takes the plate from the kitchen and serves the course to the guests
OBS is your kitchen
In this analogy you can consider:
The restaurant as your overarching project
OBS is the kitchen where you put the ingredients (media, graphic elements, camera etc) in the cooking pan (a scene) and prepare your presentation (the course)
The table where the guests eat is your videoconferencing platform where your audience "consumes" your presentation
The "waiter" that takes the presentation from the kitchen (OBS) and serves it on the table (your videoconference) is the virtual camera
Time for a knowledge check before we move to the next lesson, where we'll download and install OBS Studio.
