This is how the OBS interface looks like on a Mac, but you can use this software on any computer. Let's see how you can use OBS to quickly record professional videos, and why this software can be a great choice for creating online courses.

OBS can help you switch between multiple camera angles and multiple scenes (ie: screen recording with your camera feed in the bottom corner, vs your camera full screen, vs your video intro animation). You can quickly record your online course videos directly on your computer, without setting up tripods, memory cards, and worrying about spending hours editing, all thanks to one simple piece of free software.

The software can be used for both videos and screen-recording, and you can add effects and transitions to your videos in real-time as you are recording them, avoiding the need for post-production or editing later on. The best thing about OBS (other than being free!) is its real-time production features. If you’ve been a content creator for a while you have probably heard of it. OBS is a tool commonly used by YouTubers and live streamers.

If you want to be able to record live video, without worrying about having to edit and export it later, then using Open Broadcaster Software (better known as OBS) is a great way to go. Watch our video tutorial on how online course creators can use OBS.
