Abstract

The Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio is free software that enables tutors to overcome the restrictions typical of video-conferencing software like MS Teams or Zoom. This paper develops from a real-life situation where the pandemic-induced move to online teaching has put severe restrictions on otherwise engaging teaching and student activities – specifically role-plays and use of props – hitherto run in the classroom. The goal is to demonstrate how OBS Studio was set up and employed to overcome this situation. In doing so, the paper offers, against this background, a simple set-up tutorial for two scenes to show that using OBS Studio is straightforward and intuitive.
