Make a Circular Camera in OBS (PREFERRED METHOD)

[@ForeverDansky]

Thank you so much!! Spent forever searching for a video on how to actually crop the shot 😊

[@yomarcelojeje]

I've seen obs tutorials, but you take it to a whole other lvl. Thank you so much. Extremely helpful.

[@mr2miach]

Thank you so much! Still works today on the latest version of OBS. Excellent tutorial and let me be creative with my "circle". The only thing I think you should have added was the border image needs to be a PNG with a blank background. Outside of that it worked!

[@monicaescobedo5982]

Yeap! this solved my problem with OBS, I needed to switch between 2 scenes, one with full frame and one with a circle overlay, and for some reason OBS was switching my camera. I just tried it as in this video and now is fixed! no camara switch!!! 👍🎉

[@nomfwanime]

OMG. Adding the filter to the scene helped SO MUCH! The other tutorials changed all my video capture sources. Thank you!!

[@johnravi1683]

Hi Cat, It was a great watch! My niece is on KZbin, and I try to find helpful videos for her so she can learn new things. I think this will be a helpful watch for her. This looks like a great method, and I am sure my niece and other creator friends will appreciate it as well. Thanks a lot for such an amazing video. I have been watching other videos of yours and learning a lot from them.

[@raspyni]

Thank you! Much appreciated. And I love how much fun you look like you're having while you do this.

[@danielj7256]

Excellent, clear instructions, thank you very much. I have Snipped your white circle. Would you have a file for the round border that we could download somewhere by any chance?

[@theproofreader3204]

One of the best tutorial on this. Thank you so much for sharing such valuable knowledge.

[@mminto]

Thank you for being a wonderfully generous time-saver for all of us!

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Awesome Tutorial! You make this look so obvious and simple. I remember struggling for hours and then giving up to do this. Thank you Cat!

[@CatMulvihill]

Thank you Kevin!

[@meticmusic]

by far the most elegant way to do this - thx!

[@sugarpuddin]

Excellent and easy to understand training! Thank you! Bravo!

[@EdwardKilner]

Watched this after the original video. I like this method. I also got a better understanding of scenes and sources. Newbie. Thanks.

[@CatMulvihill]

Glad it was helpful!

[@YEYSHONAN]

Thank you, close to after 2 years you posted this, this video really came in handy! I wasn't too sure of where you grabbed the circular image but I figured you created using canva or such and did the same and made an image mask and voila! Thank you again! BTW, I use a HDMI splitter and feed two images using 2 HDMI to USB devices and make a separate source input using 1 videocam.

[@GeorgeHazzard]

Thank you, Cat. I have it working perfectly.

[@canthacan]

it worked! thank you.

THE PERFECT Tuturial!!! Thank you!

[@markwardonwords]

HUGE HELP! Thank you!

[@adveals]

wow so professional WELL DONE!

[@wernermarinus1174]

Hey Cat, just applied your method to my internal training videos and it works like a charm, in my "normal" videos. But I had to make a quick switch to Trello to show this platform inside my video (which covers a totally different topic) but I wanted my circular camera in it. Had the whole thing with my "extra" topic up in the blink of an eye. Love your videos and your calm presentation style (contrary to some other webcasters whom, I guess, take into to much sugar ;-) ).

[@CatMulvihill]

I'm so glad to hear this! Also, I like my sugar AFTER I record 😂

[@RiccardoMozzarella]

Thank you! It was super easy to follow.

[@meigenii6503]

This is gold, thank you Cat

[@WahjoeGunawan]

thank youuuu ...do you have video making the bakground removal for image becoming transparant ? thanks

[@agomodern]

Silly to leave one of the most important parts out of the video. I just figured it out though. In Canva I have a green background and make my border using borders provided under graphics. When you bring the image into your scene where you have your circular camera you will add the filter Chroma Key to the image and the green will disappear and then you place it over your circular camera and lock them together. I may have left out some steps but that should get you pretty far or even all the way. lol Probably different ways of doing it, but that's what I did.

[@blakepace]

Cool! I happened onto your previous tutorial yesterday, and now, today, you update the idea. Thanks so much!

[@FoxmodeGaming]

This is a better version of your old video and it helps a lot of people like me. Thanks for sharing :) Looking forward for more videos on OBS, Twitch streaming :)

[@raspyni]

When I add my border it's a big black box that covers my circle cam. I made the border circle in Canva and saved as PNG. Your cam shows through... mine is hidden beneath.

[@securityeverafter]

Thank you so much for this teaching!

[@davebgallowaygm1566]

Great video - but I can't get the black square background of my circle border to mask out so I only see the border. What did I miss?

[@ChantelJonesCIB]

Whaaa ... perfect ... so well explained! Thanks

[@SharpCookie]

So helpful! I love how nice the border looks.

[@parkerrex]

Fantastic video, thanks! :)

[@elaxis2965]

Very much easier, thanks Cat! Great tip!

[@PsychedelicActualization]

THANK YOU!! That was very very helpful! I have one question: As I plan to present a Google Slides presentation (with my circular camera at the bottom right) and record it with OBS, I want to have my google slides presenter view notes available to read and at the same time be able to look directly into the camera. Do you think a teleprompter (like the elgato one you made a video about) is the best option for this project or are there any other ideas/ ways to do that? Blessings.

[@mattysville]

Extremely helpful and easy to understand the way you explain it! Thank you.

[@CatMulvihill]

You're very welcome!

[@michaelhyatt9711]

Excellent. Thanks, Cat.

[@sheriffdaramola]

The best I have seen. Thank you

[@LeivoKakk]

Hi! Great video. Saw the suggestion to use source clone as an alternative solution. I was wondering, what's the advantage of inserting a scene into a scene, which seems to achieve the same goal? Or perhaps put in a different way - which solution is either a) less resource heavy or b) less messy (the extra Scenes can get confusing sometimes whereas source clones keep the interface clean.

[@emPrata]

Excellent video. Thanks. and all very didactic and perfect... GRATITUDE !!!!

[@mista.naisugai]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@musicalbox2008]

Excellent video, thank you! I was able to follow your instructions to create the white circle and the Circular Cam with the filter. All works well with my camera view inside a circle, and the whole thing overlayed over Slide. However, I followed your instructions for the border, but I am getting a black rectangle around the blue circle and I do have my circular camera view inside the blue border, and the whole thing is overlayed on the Slide. Do you have any advice how to get rid of the black rectangle? (I've used Keynote to create the blue border, similar to how you created it in PowerPoint, but I used the Subtract shapes)

[@propheciesoftheemptyset]

gracias

[@aro7975]

Thanks for the video!. Any way you could provide the border files?

[@KelvinKeahey]

Thank you for a simple but yet extremely useful video.

[@ahnfeldt]

[@monicaescobedo5982]

thanks Cat, that was short and sweet. I will give it a try right away. I have been having issues since I added a new webcam, maybe this will help :)

[@ShennyM]

Hello! Thank you so much. Quick question about an issue I’m having: when I add the border, I get a black background. How do I get rid of that. It’s not a problem with the step beforehand without the border. TIA!

[@CanalKarlaRibeiro]
