📝 Notes & Details!

Meg facilitators on a Mac and uses Zoom as her primary platform and interface. Some download instructions may not be exactly the same on PC and the examples use Zoom but both OBS and Stream Deck work just as well on Teams, Meet, and Zoom. These pieces of technology only need to be installed on the instructor’s/host’s computer and that’s why the work on all platforms since they are working in the background of the platform that you’re using for your sessions.
