Many times, when you won't get a greenscreen / chroma key working as it should and you don't have either time or sufficient light and equipment to fix it.

In this scenario, there is not so much that you can do.

But all is not lost, as I also accidentally Stumbled upon a good solution and I want to share it with you.

Try to find a good animated webcam overlay from Stream LabsOBS, etc. and adjust your webcam chroma key settings as much as you can without loosing your face and add that animated webcam overlay to front or behind your webcam.

This way your visible background after chroma key is used blends with overlay and your face cam/webcam feed is salvaged and your stream looks good.


This screenshot is taken from my YouTube tutorial and here you can see the difference before and after.

Maybe show a before and after image(s) of the difference this method makes to the webcam feed. It will certainly help get the method across to others.​

Ok. This message has edited by moderators after I originally post it and my YouTube link was deleted, Where I show how to fix it.

But now I have added after/before pictures to this text.
