[@Kimiyofc]

[@joycecatalano6664]

Great tips, thanks! I wish OBS would have a circle crop option and a frame maker.

[@chickenlittlenuggets9458]

[@CharlesLonon]

Dude you Rock! You fixed my problem. Thanks for sharing the content. Im a fan!

[@johnbarton1941]

This was perfect. Thank you. Trying to use a dedicated webcam to put on a Scoreboard but needed to be able to zoom in.

[@emma_444]

Thank you!!

[@allandagod]

thank you very much for this video. i was going to buy a new camera if i couldn't figure it out. the first method doesn't work for me. the second method did . i have a asus webcam c3 in case someone has the same problem as me . thanks dude great video

[@yosachaiko9969]

Is it possible to only resize the face cam of only one scene using the filter method? When I used that method, it changes the size for every scene. I tried seeing if I could resize 3 scenes except for one scene by locking it. But it just made crop/pad MOVE the face cam around instead of actually cropping. So I'm just using the alt method.

[@jamazing.1]

U DESERVE MORE SUBS!

[@BruceReacts]

Thank you for this!

[@dannykn7902]

incredible video -Thursday

[@nicolasmohanna1589]

U are the only one who really have the solution, thanks for sharing

[@GavinPetak]

Dude such an underrated channel thank you so much

[@healingdoodle]

This tutorial was phenomenal! I'm brand new to using OBS and I'm also really old! 🙂And you made this so easy to understand. I'll stick with the easy way to zoom. But the pro tip was spectacular. Just subscribed. Thanks for this great information.

[@badflex]

this only works on one setting, is there a way to split settings on one camera?

[@halock999]

Probbaly the best guide on embeding camera for scenes and doing different settings for the different scenes. Great breakdown, many thanks

[@andrewgislason1816]

perfect, thanks!

[@Vidgirl8]

The kind of zooming I want to know how to do is what you did in the beginning of your video. How you go from regular shot to close up and back again. How do you do that?

[@farewell418]

That’s an editing thing, not an obs thing. It’s pretty easy just use keyframes

[@Vidgirl8]

@@farewell418 ah ok I was wanting to know how to do that live. I've seen some people do that, but I can't get an answer as to how.

[@farewell418]

@@Vidgirl8 yeah, it’s using scenes and stuff. You use different scenes for different camera angles, you can also shuffle them for different camera angles from like your face to your keyboard if you’re streaming a video game. If you wanna learn how to set up different scenes, search up a tutorial

[@Adarsh_Sharma46]

Thank alot!! 1st menthod just safed my life!

[@BIGDTHEVILLAIN76]

Appreciate this!!!

[@Deaths_Embrace_Gaming]

This was super helpful i greatly appreciate all of these tips and tricks. You just gained another subscriber my good man.

[@drumjod]

I see, so you can't actually zoom the camera in with OBS. You can only change the size of the window, but it still shows the surrounding area unless you move part of it off screen. Got it :)

[@cedrikleon]

ily so much

[@michaelwinter6286]

Lovely video, wish I could make this, keep them coming! That's why I subscribed, keep the quality up, greetings from Denmark!

I did the second method before finding this video. But I know it uses a bit of CPU to have the filters. Any idea if the first method is less labor intensive on my computer?

"sUpEr EaSy" bro makes a 12 min vid lmfao

[@narq5099]

This really highlights the failing of the software. Software zooming should be a one-click operation that requires no "how to" videos.

[@TaticalRemedy]

Good video bro
