Wondering if you could do a green screen version of this. Image of the room, key the screen (attached to a wood panel), use obs to show whatever you want on that "screen" and you could move it, allowing the background to change, but keep the overlay tracked to the green screen.
Thanks for all the creative ideas Nutty! I’m not yet at the point where I’d go spending resources on setting this up, but as always, your videos tickle my inner creative.
Your videos are always so informative. I appreciate how you're one of the few channels that shows exactly how to do everything (except the code for some reason; I guess I'll have to freeze frame or Google it.) This is very much in line with stuff like Metal Jesus Rocks, who explains, in detail, how to capture game footage from stuff like handhelds and setting up an elgato. BTW I used your video on creating an animated border to make a cutout animated GIF for use as an element in an overlay. The chroma keying was, in retrospect, an obvious choice, but I wouldn't have tried it without your video. Thanks again for such good content!
your videos are just amazing, I don't even stream for a while now but I still come back to see what you up to. Unfortunately having 2 computers and decorative monitors are not feasible to me in a 3rd world country where tech is expensive af but it is nice to know that the possibilities are there.
I don't even stream on twitch or anything, but I found so cool the tech aspects of it, and Nutty is so cool explaining it. The perfect balance between info-dump and cringe hahaha love it.
Thanks for this, I've got a TV on a similar mount I've been wanting to put in the background and wanted Alerts to appear on. couldn;t work out a solution but "just run OBS on another PC" is big brain!
I was thinking of doing this using a spare Raspberry Pi and a webcam. That way it would be a real time view of what's behind. Matter of fact, Raspberry Pi has a camera you can use that would make things easy. I never got around to doing it, but after seeing the video, maybe I'll revisit it.
It wasn't the point of the video, but seeing the Affinity software in action was eye-opening. That is a VERY Adobe like experience at a great price. I'm intrigued
Wonder if a cheap webcam on the back of the monitor might not give you a live version. I'm sure it would have its own challen ges, but it would be a fun test
@@IzzyIkigai Yeah you're right, I was thinking you could maybe use the 3d transform tool to offset the differences, but it would probably be too wonky. I guess to even have a shot, you would need something with a super wide angle.
Someone probably already mentioned it in the comments, but you actually can transform any LCD screen into a "transparent" screen and its not even that hard. There are some videos about it.
I've thought about using my projector like this. Maybe that'll be my weekend project as I'm tidying up the current wall where the projector points. Also gib the screen change widget pretty pls!!!
This is Pretty cool and really interesting Concept. but to extend the idea on it; since you have that stand. could you possibly mount a wide angle camera or a HD webcam in back with a simple that clamp that is centered behind the monitor, so you wouldn't have to reposition it, perfectly every time you would need to move it?
I'm talking from ignorance here but, Would it be possible to set up a similar screen, but using a green screen? So that it appears as floating window, without the screen edges?
I hope you got a Ryzen mini PC? Those are cheaper and more powerful grafically, since any CPU will do the job. I am obsessing over the newest mini PCs with Ryzen 7000, they have AV1 encoding!
Easy enough to do ... I'm thinking this will help with my DJ streams ... also some hidden things in the bot (chat will trigger them & yes I have cool downs LUL) hmmm ... now I'll be looking for 2nd hand stuff that is dirt cheep to do this with - THanks Nutty!!1
Why not just add an inexpensive webcam to the back of the monitor rig and feed it into OBS on the mini PC? Then you could move the rig around without having to take a new photo each time. You might have to slightly adjust the angle of the webcam depending on where/how you moved it, but it seems like it would be much faster/easier than taking a new photo and editing it. It would also have the benefit of updating in real-time when lights are turned on/off, etc.
The angle wouldn't align right. The monitor isn't parallel to the camera. That's why he had to stretch the clean plate image. Also the camera couldn't point straight back, it needs to point to the exact same location as the stream camera.
When you put your arm behind the screen, obviously your arm disappeared. What about having a rear facing webcam as the input to make the transparent background, and then it actually would look like a window and be able to show your arm behind it? Wouldn't have to do a screen shot or use floor tape, either
I think it would look even nicer if you rotated the monitor to position the thicker bezel closer to the edge of the stream, instead of closer to the middle.
Really cool stuff, thank you. What's the benefit of running it as a stand-alone computer with its own OBS and stream deck etc? Compared, say, to wirelessly connecting it to your main machine as another monitor? Is it a resolution issue?
Wouldn't a green screen/chroma key on the background have been more efficient? It would allow you to change the position of the screen and it would dynamically display what's behind it.
Absolutely. In fact, you could even use the same instance of OBS that you use to stream. Just build your "Display" scene separate to all the scenes you use for streaming, then right click your "Display" scene and open a full screen projector.
so i have a tv behind me that’s just connected to my pc with hdmi. can i still do stuff like this? just open another obs for that one screen? and have streamerbot recognize that as a separate obs?
Great video! Is it neccessary to have a seperate tiny PC for this? I had a thought in my mind of achieving it by attaching it with my streaming rig via HDMI and making a different scene on OBS and setting it to full screen projection (Scene) on the monitor that's behind me, what's your thoughts on this?
@@VirtualTruckerChronicles I did the same too, two instances of OBS on a single PC, but that PC just handles my stream so yeah, this sounds more easy to setup & budget friendly as well 😁
Couldn't you just take a screen shot of your room, and then make your monitor have a green image to use green screen features in your stream PC's OBS? That way you could move the monitor and the image would remain static making it trully transparant? Only issue is that that camera can't move. And you'd have to do different screenshots with every different angle. Incidentally, doing that would also mean that you can apply any filter to your screenshot (blur, color saturation, alpha color) Finally you can still have the TV itself show the overlays and such (just on a green background) That's how I would do it anyway.
Yeah that's what I would asssume is the easiest thing, little c920, mounted 90 degrees, apply a blur and zoom way in cos the FOV is pathetic. Only thing is there'll be a little delay
@@djsusan00it has nothing to do with the sensor. The camera is positioned differently to the main camera. You physically cannot get the image to look right unless the monitor was literally see through.
So next step would be to add a webcam behind the screen that films what’s in the back, add it to OBS and then BOOM, you can actually walk behind your “transparent” screen and it pick up real time what happens behind… You’re welcome 😂
Everyone already suggested this. I tried it, it doesn't look as good as you'd hope. A rear mounted camera just does not get the same perspective as your main camera, so it's nearly impossible to get things to line it properly. Much more difficult than just lining up the monitor once every stream.

Yeah that's cool. I was doing the same thing in 1998, the fake transparent background is awesome. I like the OBS, streamdeck integration ;-)

Webcam doesn't look good. Trust me, it's not worth the effort.

Really cool! I'm wondering why not green screen the borders of the screen at this point? It would look even more floOoOoOaty!
Thanks bro as always ❤
Nice job. That's dope as hell
lol your transparent screen is literally just another computer. genius

good stuff Nutty!!
I'm pretty new to the channel so I'd like to say thank you, your videos and tutorials have really helped me learn OBS.
🍻
im glad i found your channel you are the effing man and you are funny and i love your attitude. GREAT DAM VIDEOS DOOD!
what a legend!

Green screens don't look good. At that point, just make it an overlay.

Bro you could totally use a projector & screen to do this on a bigger scale farther back lol😁

that is soo cool!
Cool idea: recording yourself entering the monitor area and putting it on points reward or smth, even like some funny scenes like fbi breaking in
Also you can mask bezels with green tape and key it out in obs
Yes yes I want to copy everything exactly I wanna get a picture of your room put it on my monitor and I'll make complete sense.

Hi Nutty, I find you very funny I had a good time watching your video 😁

It doesn't look good because the perspective is totally off compared to the main camera. I've tried it, it didn't look good.
I'm gonna use this so i can see chat in irl streams... when i do streaming
Awesome!
You are weird but amazing and genius
I know that it might be pointless , but have you tried mounting a camera behind the screen to make a true transparent screen ? @nutty
It's nearly impossible to make that look good. Doesn't have the same perspective as the main camera.
I think it would look even nicer if you rotated the monitor to position the thicker bezel closer to the edge of the stream, instead of closer to the middle.
It is, I place it on the opposite side when I actually stream
hey albert is where i got the idea from too when i had it a couple years ago lol
Really cool stuff, thank you. What's the benefit of running it as a stand-alone computer with its own OBS and stream deck etc? Compared, say, to wirelessly connecting it to your main machine as another monitor? Is it a resolution issue?
I physically cannot connect more monitors to my PC
Ok, I will order the 3D printer ASAP.
Streamerbot on my main PC isnt finding the websocket server for my secondary PC. IDK what to do. I'm stuck.
Wouldn't a green screen/chroma key on the background have been more efficient? It would allow you to change the position of the screen and it would dynamically display what's behind it.
Green screens are hard to look good and you can't put anything green in the screen.
We all knew you were talking abour Twitch with the 95/5 split but I'm sure we all appreciate you for clarifying anyway 😂
He’s back?
I've been back
I'm wondering if instead of connect a different pc if I can make this work with just adding it as a third monitor with a second instance of OBS
Absolutely. In fact, you could even use the same instance of OBS that you use to stream.
Just build your "Display" scene separate to all the scenes you use for streaming, then right click your "Display" scene and open a full screen projector.
Yo, what about putting a camera on it and making it like a mirror? Or putting an ai on it to ask it questions like a magic mirror from snow white?
Yeah would love to see someone pull that off, that's a great idea.
WOW!
so i have a tv behind me that’s just connected to my pc with hdmi. can i still do stuff like this? just open another obs for that one screen? and have streamerbot recognize that as a separate obs?
Yep, you technically could use the same instance of OBS that you use to stream if you wanted.
wow! 😮

I had a thought in my mind of achieving it by attaching it with my streaming rig via HDMI and making a different scene on OBS and setting it to full screen projection (Scene) on the monitor that's behind me, what's your thoughts on this?
You can do that; but it won't be vertical. I run two obs at same time for the affect. Two different profiles one pc.
@@VirtualTruckerChronicles I did the same too, two instances of OBS on a single PC, but that PC just handles my stream so yeah, this sounds more easy to setup & budget friendly as well 😁
I can rest easy an night now knowing you have printed a clamp. Jebus, I was worried for a second.
cool ❤
you should add easter eggs to it. I think a lot of ppl in chat would enjoy catching the easter eggs live.
I've got a better idea for that... gonna do some experimenting this week 👀
@@nuttylmao 👀
maybe stick a web cam on the back so it looks transparent and will be moveable
It looks horrible. See other comments.

How did you full-screen the OBS preview?
Right click on your OBS canvas. The option is just right there.
I will do that but with elgato green screen
Wait streamer couldn't you just mount a webcam on the back, since its a separate pc and just use that?
Yeah that's what I would asssume is the easiest thing, little c920, mounted 90 degrees, apply a blur and zoom way in cos the FOV is pathetic. Only thing is there'll be a little delay

No, perspective doesn't work like that.
