👍 Control Your Video View

This was inspired by a request from a faculty member teaching a speech class who wanted to see the presenter’s body language and the presentation at the same time. They found the Zoom presenter window to be too small. You can do some stuff with that on Zoom but not quite what I would want to do. You also might run into issues where you want to record your desktop on one of the free software options that doesn’t let you do picture-in-picture.

I thought I could make a nice, simple little page that would show a fairly large video window alongside a Google Presentation. That way your can record a single window and see it all at once or share that window on Zoom. It took about 20 or 30 minutes of work when I woke up way too early this morning but could become fancier with a little additional work.
