I’m streaming Zoom meetings to YouTube. I’m doing that via Open Broadcast Studio (OBS), so I can add additional info, like name badges (lower thirds) and other additional texts. During such a meeting I’m using a Stream Deck to switch between those name badges.
It works like a charm.
But I also want to select with the Stream Deck whose video will be pinnend or spotlighted. I guess to achieve that the Stream Deck should launch a hotkey or a script .
Is this possible and how can I make that? I’ve got limited programming experience, so any help to get started is very welcome.
Our Web Client or Web SDK doesnt support streaming, however, our native client does[1]. Please contact our support team[2] and they will be able to help you with your questions.
have you found a way to switch spotlighted users through hotkey or script? I was just looking into using keyboard maestro as a go between to do this, but haven’t dug into it fully yet.
By the way: I was thinking about using AppleScript to pin or spotlight a video of a specific user.
I know little about AppleScript, but if someone tells me that this could be possible I (or someone else) can give it a shot. But either way: any help would be great.
I concur, maybe a stream deck integration app would be helpful or at least as Jonathan says some TCP commands.
I foresee a massive need for this feature to streamline zoom webinars in the near future. Unfortunately the process at present is very clunky and not user friendly for professional events.
I think these commands would need to be integrated into the desktop app with a TCP listener although i’s happily use the web sdk if it offered a way of spotlight control by an external controller.
