Hey All,
I'm going to be an admin/facilitator as a Co-Host for many Webinars and am interested in showing lower thirds and various pop-ups pertaining to the subject matter. I would plan on accomplishing this via O.B.S., but am unsure whether I could do this in real-time as a Co-Host rather than the Main Host.
Can a Co-host overlay video and switch screen views etc... (I'd be using the Elgato Stream Deck to accomplish this)- or do those functions need to be executed by the Main Host?

This is a more complex conversation.
1. if your video output is the only spotlight then you’ll be able to produce overlays, etc in OBS and output them to Zoom.
2. if on the other hand you are thinking you want to add lower-thirds to other peoples video, you won’t be able to do that without first routing their video thru your OBS and then sending it back into Zoom.
3. there is also planning around audio routing for sync issues that need to be considered when going down this path.
