Is it possible to add or create a plugin for #msteams to show some information in a lower third whilst in a call? Eg, name, position and a graphic. At the moment we have that small name in the corner of each video window, but I'd like to show more. I don't want to have to do it in OBS or similar because it's too CPU intensive and a pain for non-technical colleagues.

Maybe @shanselman knows.

@netwolfuk not without obs or a virtual camera

@shanselman or you can add the graphics on an external device like an ATEM Mini! No extra CPU load, your computer sees it as just a webcam.
@shanselman $195 for the base model will do it! That's certainly a lot less than the computer cost!
@shanselman but the premise of the question was to avoid using OBS 😇

@shanselman @aaronpk

Yeah, obs is free if you can take the CPU hit. And $195 each staff member doesn't scale up to hundreds of staff. I was hoping to write something in dotNet that could run as an overlay inside teams.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

@shanselman @netwolfuk @aaronpk Somehow I missed the announcement about Teams Custom Filters. This is exactly what I want, if only I could create my own.
