Creating a Video Mini-Lecture
We recommend Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) as a great way to record yourself giving a presentation or lecture.
It has more flexibility and results in a higher quality video than simply recording your screen on zoom/skype.
It is easy to install and much easier to use than any video editing software.
Use the following four resources to help you:
- Introduction to OBS and how it can be used.
- Tips for good video layout (this is useful regardless of whether you chose to use OBS).
- Links to OBS download instructions for Mac, Windows & Linux.
- How you could include live annotations or a blackboard style presentation with OBS
