> Does it really? I mean you can download one that someone else has already made or you could whip one up in 20 seconds in whatever design app you use - draw a black circle on a white background and you're done. Add some feathering to the circle if you want to get fancy.
In Keynote I can change the radius of the circle in realtime. That is a lot faster than even your optimistic 20 seconds. I also don't need to care about the resolution of the camera. I can even add effects in realtime like borders, a fancy mirror effect below the camera view etc. I can try out effects in realtime. This is simply much more user friendly than creating image masks manually in an external program.

But some people don't want to get into video, they just want to create a webinar with an overlay of the speaker.

I'm pretty sure there is no such thing. Positioning things in OBS is a mess, because everything is based on pixels. Even if you manage to create a template, if you change the resolution of your canvas, you cannot reuse the template, because it doesn't fit to the new resolution.
