Teaching Broadcast Setup for OBS and Stream Deck

Teaching broadcast setup using OBS Studio and a Stream Deck—clean desk layout with monitor, speakers and “On Air” studio window.

Teaching online or in a hybrid classroom requires more than just good content. It demands seamless delivery. This starter kit eliminates the technical friction that pulls your focus away from facilitating learning.

The kit is built around two proven tools: OBS Studio (free broadcast software that manages your camera, slides, and screen layouts) and Stream Deck (a tactile control surface that switches between them instantly).

Together, they create a consistent, polished experience for your learners while simplifying your workflow.

What's included:

  • OBS Scene Collection with pre-configured layouts for camera, presentation slides, document camera, screen demonstrations, and media playback

  • Stream Deck Profile with one-tap controls for scene transitions, microphone muting, and common teaching actions

  • Installation guide with clear, step-by-step instructions that take about 15 minutes to complete

The result: Fewer interruptions, smoother transitions, and more mental bandwidth for what matters: engaging with your students and responding to their learning needs.

This setup works for live instruction, asynchronous recordings, virtual office hours, and hybrid sessions. It's compatible with equipment you already own or are planning to acquire.
