maybe target this to livestreamers - entertainers - than the corporate workplace crowd the pitch seems jarring but other people seem to have corporate workplace uses for it and that's a bigger audience so maybe have at it!

OBS is already miles ahead in this regard: better customizability, better integration with existing platforms, free, etc. imo, mmhmm is simple and is really good for presentations in my experience, so perfect fit for corporate workplace crowd

  Tried OBS on Ubuntu to do this kind of thing at work but it added several seconds of latency. Is this normal and how does OP's app get around this?

    Linux is a quagmire, but latency problems on OBS boil down to needing a fast computer, with a powerful graphics card to encode, and carefully configured audio (the default pulseaudio setup is usually a problem). Using JACK or similar will fix a lot of trouble, but really you just need horsepower to process video at HD resolution in real time.

    On Linux I use obs-v4l2sink https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-v4l2sink https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-v4l2sink On Windows I have tried OBS VirtualCam https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.949/ https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-virtualcam.949/ Both of them work very close to real time for me. Maybe your computer lacks hardware acceleration?

  In my experience (on Mac), OBS is pretty fiddly and has some sharp edges. While editing layouts, I have to make some changes twice because they don't "stick" the first time.

  I started using emojis in business email 6 months ago after not using them for my entire 20+ year career. Why? They convey tone better than any carefully crafted sentence.

I agree about the pitch and video. I can't tell if this is a business application that would give me more control over my meeting presentations, or if this is targeted for casual fun and/or streamers.
