How to use Live Annotations with OBS and NDI Telestrator

Live annotations can really make any video production come alive. This is a great way to add additional production value to your OBS presentations. Live telestration is often used in Sports instant replays but it can also be used in Open Broadcaster Software to make presentations.

Open Broadcaster Software now supports the NewTek NDI with a free plugin available online. This plugin will allow users to bring in any NDI source on their local area network. This is a great way to add functionality such as live alpha channel annotations in your OBS production. Check out this video and let us know if you have any questions.
