Remember to double check you closed all incognito windows. You know what I mean.
Somehow that whole incognito meme never caught on with me.
It is really so much safer to watch pr0n in incognito tabs?

#72I would like to plug Loom as well as a way to create asynchronous video messages. You can record anything with it (even meetings or presentations). We currently power over 52,000 companies around the world and our tool is free for education forever. No strings attached. https://www.loom.com disclaimer: I'm a founder
And you DIDN'T finish your pitch with "Ask me about LOOM"?

I'm not 100% sure if I understood the problem right, but maybe OBS [1] could be an easier solution. You can use it to record screens and webcam streams. You can layout "scenes" with the video sources and use it while holding to lecture to switch between webcam and screencast. It's usually used for livestreams of all kinds, but works for recording as well. With my little experience in video editing, I'd say 30-45 min…
Thanks for sharing this! Can you simultaneously record your screen and your face, and then later splice the two together (while keeping audio synced, preferably)? To clarify, basically the desire is to be able to sit in front of a computer, look through slides while talking to the camera, and then afterward go through and (easily) choose which segments should show the screen and which should show your face. And hopef…
You can't use it to record into seperate files. However, you can use it to make the necessary editing while recording the presentation.
In OBS you can create Scenes with multiple video sources. The scene will be the output you see in the video file. You can add the video sources as layers into the scene, scale and move them around. So you could create a scene where the main focus is on the PowerPoint slides and the webcam is just in the corner. The other scene would be the other way around. Then, while recording, you can switch between the scenes to show the powerpoint or the webcam.
This does not allow for as much flexibility in post, but it would save a lot of time since you don't have to edit the video afterwards. Also, the audio should be in sync as well.

No its is not. You can still be tracked; I have personally experienced it.
Incognito mode is for keeping your browsing history "clean" on your end. So that if your friend or relative uses your computer, he/she does not stumble upon stuff you don't wont to see.

#75As a student, I wasn't at first interested in reading this post because of the title, but I ended up opening it anyway, and the first point (krisp.ai) is something so useful that I wonder why I didn't hear about it before, does anyone know a good FOSS alternative?
For the next 6 months, Krisp is free for all students, teachers, hospital and government workers. Also, it just went Freemium, comes with 120min/week free noise cancellation. More here: https://krisp.ai/blog/covid19-response/ (I'm the CEO & Co-Founder)

Ah, okay
Somehow I never had an issue with that.

#79I commented on the blog post, but: > If you are presenting a computer desktop (e.g. I teach programming classes, so I do a lot of this), then get your IT department to organise an Amazon Workspace for you. Join the conference call from twice — once from your laptop, and once from the Workspaces session. Share the Workspaces screen, not your home laptop. That way, if a message pops up on your screen, the students won’…
Us mere mortals can just enable Do Not Disturb once you know the gesture incantation.
Which as you prompted me to discover, is Option+clicking on the notifications panel icon in the menu bar to toggle DND for anyone wondering. Of course some apps annoyingly ignore the DND setting (I'm looking at you MS Teams).

#80My wife is a university professor and is being told she needs to record lectures going forward. I'm wondering how she can easily record a lecture video and then splice in powerpoint slides later. The best I can think is to record yourself on a computer, while flipping through slides on an iPad right next to your screen. Then afterward go through and take screenshots of the Powerpoint and insert them into the video (u…
I work at a large school and have been experimenting with cheap and cheerful solutions. If on Windows 10 check out the built-in Game Bar (designed your let you record games) if on Mac Qicktime will let you record the screen and mic.
Does Quicktime save as compressed MP4? Last time I used it for a 30 minute video it saved as uncompressed mov by default. I was not impressed, and while I know how to re-encode, most people don't.
