Some of these things you may already have to hand, but just in case, here\u2019s what you\u2019ll need to get. You should be able to find most of these items online on sites like Amazon:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A green screen sheet with clips (or a green screen on a pull-up stand) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clips (if they don\u2019t come included with your green screen sheet)\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A webcam\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>LED lighting\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>OBS software\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microsoft Teams software\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The cheapest option for a green screen setup is a green screen sheet with clips, which you can find for an affordable price online. The other option is a green screen on a pullup stand or one that goes behind your chair. These will set you back a bit more money, but if you\u2019re going to be using them regularly, are probably worth the investment, just so you can skip the ironing step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using a sheet, you\u2019ll need to iron it so it\u2019s completely wrinkle-free, then position it and clip it into place behind your desk or the area you\u2019re going to be hosting your Teams call. Then, you\u2019ll need to set up your lighting to avoid unwanted shadows. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LED lights that clip onto your desk can be found relatively cheaply online. Make sure you choose adjustable lights so you can make them brighter or dimmer as needed.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open Broadcaster Software for Microsoft Teams Green Screen\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to get the software you\u2019ll need for using a green screen in MS Teams. Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is free and available for Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu. The software adds a chroma key filter to your webcam so you can then use any picture you like as your background.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li>Download and install OBS, then restart your computer.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Launch the software.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Sources <\/span>at the bottom of the screen, select the <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">+ <\/span>button to add a new source, then choose <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Video Capture Device<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter a name for your device, then click <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">OK<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"42940\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed-1024x264.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed-768x198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed-610x157.jpg 610w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-2-compressed-80x21.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"5\">\n<li>You can adjust the resolution by selecting <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Resolution\/ FPS Type<\/span> and choosing <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Custom<\/span>, then selecting 1920 x 1080 from the drop-down menu \u2014 or choose the highest available resolution for your webcam, then click <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">OK<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-3-compressed.jpg\" data-lasso-id=\"42941\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"226\" src=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-3-compressed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-3-compressed.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-3-compressed-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-3-compressed-768x170.jpg 768w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-3-compressed-610x135.jpg 610w, https:\/\/helpdeskgeek.com\/wp-content\/pictures\/2023\/07\/how-to-use-a-green-screen-with-microsoft-teams-3-compressed-80x18.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"6\">\n<li>To add an image to use to test the green screen, click <span style=\"font-weight:bold\">Add Source <\/span>&gt;
