Subtitle Camera

Put translated subtitles inside your camera feed for meetings, events, webinars, and streams using OBS.

Use Subtitle Camera when translated subtitles should appear inside the speaker's video feed. JotMe provides the subtitle view; OBS combines it with the camera and exposes the result as a virtual camera. Participants do not open a link or install anything.

Build the Subtitle Camera feed#

Open OBS

Install and open OBS on the host computer.

Build the scene

Create a scene named JotMe Camera Subtitle. Add a Video Capture Device source, then add a Browser Source at 1920 × 1080.

Connect JotMe

Start live translation, open Share Translation → Subtitle Camera, and copy the Subtitle Camera URL into the OBS Browser Source.

Start the virtual camera

In OBS, choose Start Virtual Camera. In Zoom, Teams, Meet, the webinar tool, or the streaming app, select JotMe Camera Subtitle as the camera.

The subtitle view can be mirrored and can show a second translated language. It shows at most two languages at once, labelled We're speaking and They're seeing.

Note

Subtitle Camera is unavailable when the Fast spoken-language model is selected.

For the meeting-platform setup around this feed, see Zoom, Teams, Meet, and other online meetings.
