Does anyone use OBS to record Teams or Zoom meetings? If so, what is the best way to set it up? I wish their website had a getting started guide for this purpose but I haven't found one.

#12If anyone is using/testing WebRTC I would love to hear how it is working for them :) I am hoping Simulcast makes a impact with smaller streamers/site operators. * Cheaper servers. More competition and I want to see people running their own servers. * Better video quality. Encoding from source is going to be better then transcoding. * No more bad servers.

The only thing I know about webRTC is that vdo ninja uses it https://docs.vdo.ninja/getting-started/vdo.ninja-basics#powe...

In OBS, add a new "Source". Which choice you use will depend on your operating system, but on macOS they're using the built-in APIs in the OS to do the captures. I think on Linux and Windows it's "Application Capture" or "Window Capture". Choose your Zoom meeting window. Mess with the size/position as you please, and hit record. The OOBE setup that OBS takes you through on first launch should choose reasonable settings for output and audio pickup, but do a test recording first in your Personal Room and see if its picking up everything right. At least on Linux/Windows I don't think anything special needs to be done to pick up Desktop Audio. On macOS, you might need to add a "macOS Audio Capture" source as well.
I use OBS all the time in the opposite direction, using the Virtual Cam plugin to serve video and content to a Zoom share. I have kinda draft of a walkthrough of my setup, with some explaination of like, the hierarchy of things and terms in the UI and how it all mixes together, that I haven't published but if there is a dearth of good basic setup docs for stuff it might light a fire under my ass to actually publish what I have and add some stuff for recording.

OBS outputs WebRTC, so you can push directly into vdo ninja now.
If you want more control over your video quality/capture it's nice to not have to use your browser. Trade off is its way harder to setup.

#15Holy moly the new source picker is awesome. Anxiously awaiting the full release of this version.

#16If you build OBS from source and would like more than a 3-band equalizer without a plugin, I've still got my eq8 branch getting stale here: https://github.com/phkahler/obs-studio/tree/eq8 I should rebase that... BTW they do not want it upstream for whatever reasons. I'm not complaining, I get it. But some of us like this built-in so I'm keeping it around.
What's the drawbacks of having equalizer as a plugin as opposed to core?

Is that using the WHIP output or something else?

Yep WHIP output!

I would love to host an ultra high quality stream on my own web server, and then have that exact stream piped to YouTube live via OBS. Is there an easy way to do that now?
YouTube likely won't support streaming 3440x1440 60FPS video, and while discord technically supports it, they usually compress the footage fairly aggressively once it's sent up to the client, so I'd like to host my own; it only needs to support a few people. I wouldn't mind hosting it so my friends and side project partners can watch me code and play games in high quality.

First I have to choose one. Second I have to trust a 3rd party. Third, I have to figure out how to use/install it. All this for functionality that should be right there with all the other audio things that are bundled with it.
BTW I hate needing plug-ins or add-ons for other software too for similar reasons - Gnome comes to mind.
