Long waited for. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Microsoft Teams<\/a> as of 2021-05-21 now supports virtual cameras which enables me to use many different software emulators to enhance my appearance in my online meetings. This feature was lost in an update almost a year ago and since then I have had to use Teams through a web browser to have a more professional look with many other drawbacks such as bad screen resolution and less functions. The most compelling function I have longed for is the subtitle function. I like to have my original room in the view without virtual background. When using a virtual background in <a href=\"https:\/\/zoom.us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zoom<\/a> or Teams you can play with logos and text in whatever way you want. But that does not fit me, I want my normal background. And the only way I have found is using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmhmm.app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mmhmm<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/obsproject.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OBS<\/a> as virtual cameras and install video objects in their camera feed. Mmhmm is ideally suited for presentations in a news broadcast manner, while OBS is the television production tool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.17.59.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.17.59-1024x527.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.17.59-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.17.59-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.17.59-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.17.59-1536x790.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.17.59-2048x1054.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.37.46.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.37.46-1024x718.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.37.46-1024x718.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.37.46-300x210.png 300w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.37.46-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.37.46-1536x1077.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.petera.se\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Skarmavbild-2021-05-21-kl.-16.37.46-2048x1436.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So from now on I can use OBS in the easiest way, just creating a custom video feed with my Logitech camera and the <a href=\"https:\/\/masarinconsulting.se\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Masarin Consulting Group<\/a> logo to show my company and any other text or logo necessary.
