I am not looking for perfection. Just want to get a laugh out of them. I also just realized that if I place my laptop camera in the exact same spot, while recording the background video and during class, all I need to do is sit on the left of the camera pane during class, and only stay on the right for the background video, then I just need to stitch the two videos side-by-side in OBS and it should work well enough. I think I achieved my purpose here. Ask a question from a bunch of smart people. Either they give a great answer, or their response forces you to rethink and figure out a simple solution. Thank you HN for being my AI enabled rubber duck.

Yeah, if you don't have a "real" green screen, you can probably shoot a video from the same angle where you come in from one side and stay on that side. Then use OBS's crop filter and keep your live video on the other side. I just said to hell with it and bought a bright green sheet early on last year since I was spending so much time in meetings and assisting professors with running their classes. That sheet and a couple of cheap clamp lights (plus a decent tabletop mic) made a huge difference in the quality and entertainment value of my telepresence work.
