When I'm teaching a class, I will share the screen that has the project fully screened on it (which is normally the screen for my teleprompter (so I'm looking into the eyes of my students)). I have a bunch of scenes set up, so I can quickly change the scenes using my Stream Deck. You can make really smooth transitions, so I have a scene for:

- Full camera - Full camera shifted ~60% to the right with a small desktop screen (where I'm showing my slideshow or code) on top - Full desktop with face in upper right or lower right (another Stream Deck button to toggle face position) - Full desktop, no face

I also have countdown timers that I can set from the command line when we are doing a break or waiting for the class to start.

OBS is awesome.

However, I also record many courses and must do them in HD res. Sadly, my MBP has a notch and won't natively do HD. OBS doesn't help with this (easily). My current solution (which I'm curious to try DeskPad to see if it is better) is to use the BetterDisplay app and create a "virtual screen" with HD dimensions. BD lets me "mirror" the virtual HD screen to my Mac monitor, and it magically resizes the dimensions correctly to HD.

It's a painful workaround (especially because every time my Mac or other monitors sleep, all of the orientations of the monitors and the mirroring of the virtual screen are forgotten).

I would love a way to tell my MBP screen to go HD, but to my knowledge, that doesn't appear possible.
