Follow the instructions in the installers. For this, we recommend using the OBS VirtualCam plugin. If you want more freedom in Zoom meetings and want to have OBS be the commanding program for your video and audio, you’ll need to connect them. You can remove that in post-editing if needed. The video will have a short period when Zoom is not in full-screen, and the cascading preview will show if the OBS is on the same display.

When you’re done recording, return Zoom to windowed mode and select Stop Recording.Maximize Zoom to full-screen mode to make it the only visible program on display.Press Start Recording, you can also use Start Streaming if you need to stream the conference elsewhere.Press OK, you’ll now see the second line in the Audio Mixer section. To avoid doubling sounds, we recommend using headphones. Choose the output device from the list.Rename the source if you want, then select OK.Add another source by clicking on + and selecting Audio Output Capture.You’ll now see a new audio input in the Audio Mixer screen below the video preview showing you the capture from the microphone. Select your input device from the dropdown list, then press OK.Rename the capture source if you want to keep it separate from the other source and avoid confusion, then press OK.In OBS, click on + under Sources again, then choose Audio Input Capture.Now you need to add the audio coming from you (the microphone) and the participants (the computer audio). Typically, you’ll see cascading previews if OBS is also on that monitor. Your OBS now has the current monitor feed on display. Click OK when you’re satisfied with the choice.The preview will show the monitor’s current feed. Choose the monitor to display the video from the dropdown list.You can use the name of the monitor you’re using for Zoom to keep it simple. Name the capture whatever you want, then click OK.You can use the Window Capture option and select Zoom.exe as your source, but this might not always work. This will work best if you have more than one monitor for your PC, but it will still function if you only have one. In OBS, under Sources, click the + icon and select Display Capture.The only things you’ll need to install are OBS and Zoom.

If you want to record Zoom meetings and store them for later, you can achieve great results without any third-party tools. However, OBS can also directly connect with Zoom to allow you to make real-time changes, add more sound channels, and even enhance live streaming Zoom conferences. The first one is to simply record everything that Zoom outputs and use the OBS’s superior resolution and sound quality to edit that recording for later use. There are two main ways to use OBS with Zoom.
