First of all, in OBS you can enhance your audio with VST2 plugins and you can mix together multiple sources of audio and output that into Zoom. You can use this to use lower thirds, show overlays, mix together multiple sources, display countdown timers and much more. In this way, your webcam source in Zoom can have all kinds of awesome video sources that you can manage in OBS.
