How to use OBS in a service

2/3/2021

0 Comments

 
At Kingswood we use a programme called OBS (Open Broadcast Software) to play pre-recorded elements in a Zoom service.
The video below produced by Rev Bryony Taylor show how she sets up OBS for a service.
Note this is an older version of OBS but it gives you an idea of what the programme is and can do.

Been invited to a 'Zoom' coffee morning?

With this lockdown people keep talking about 'virtual' Church, fellowship and coffee mornings etc. but how do I join in with these events?
If you have used 'Skype' to make and receive video calls your computer/tablet will be able to work with a Zoom meeting.
If you haven't used your computer for these activities then the first thing is to check your computer/tablet has a camera and microphone built in or a separate web cam.  Now if you are not sure if your technology has this capability you can do a simple check:-
  1. Open up the 'camera' program or app on your device.
  2. If a message comes up on the screen 'We can't find your camera' then you have not got a camera built in or connected. So you are unable to join the meeting. At KMC we will be adding telephone access to zoom meetings/coffee mornings etc soon.
  3. If you see yourself on the screen, your technology is suitable for a zoom meeting.
Below is a simple video guide to joining a Zoom meeting (note at the moment we do not use the facility to join a meeting with just a telephone).
