Question 1

Stupid question. Can I use it for obs

Accepted Answer

Not stupid! Yeah I use this with OBS studio. Just need to play around with the Chroma Key filter setting on your webcam. It works pretty good. I suggest getting some decent diffused lighting to go with the green screen.

Question 2

Does device allow the backdrop to flow on the floor?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not - the backdrop is rolled into the carrying case and does not disconnect from the roller.

Question 3

Is this big enough if you want to do backgrounds showing you are in a hospital, news station room, on the beach etc? (not for twitch)

Accepted Answer

I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking but I think you may be misunderstanding how chroma keying works...  Your green screen needs to be large enough to provide a good backdrop for you and block out any parts of the environment you’re in that you don’t want to appear on video. So if you’re walking, moving or have more than one person you would need a larger chroma screen. If you’re just going to be sitting in a chair, a small screen will work fine.  As far as the background that you will be compositing together with yourself or whatever else, that has no relationship to the size of the screen. Everything that is chroma color in your footage will disappear. You do need to make sure you get the right scale though between the background plate and your chroma video footage but that is something you can control by which background footage you select or capture.

Question 4

How far behind you (max) can you put this and still be useful?  What is the recommended distance?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the camera that you are using. If you are using it for streaming that is. I use a Logitech C922 and it has the ability to zoom and pan so I can place the green screen as far or as close as I want and then adjust it using the camera. The key would be to have the proper lighting so that it provides the correct illumination to be effective
