# Season 2, Episode 46

OBS - Better Quality Zoom video, Keep your video on brand even when you have to step away, Tracking Sodastream usage, Automation with Alfred (Mac only)

Booking in shows now we have a roadmap

Car problems :-(

OBS - Open Broadcaster Software - <a href="https://obsproject.com">https://obsproject.com</a>

Create a better quality zoom video

Add sources, like a webcam, or an image

OBS allows you to size the camera image and show multiple angles

Perfect when I am performing close up magic, while keeping the connection with the audience

Screenshare without needing the host to give you that ability

Many add-ons available - <a href="https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/obs-studio-plugins.6/">https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/obs-studio-plugins.6/</a>

Move is one of my favourites - <a href="https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move-transition.913/">https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/move-transition.913/</a>

Add lower thirds with your name and company details

Create personalised holding screens if you have to step out for a moment
