I've just published the video in my Mastodon account. The script helps me to manage posts in my Gemini capsule, served with Agate, trough SSH.
For the show, I used OBS to screecast a Cool Retro Term screen over an image of an Amstrad PC W512 monitor.

Very nice. My first visit to Mastodon - maybe it's not so bad...
This is really nice. I have been thinking about something similar for mine, SSH is a nice touch. Is there GitHub repo somewhere?
i am glad i was able to replace obs with simple ffmpeg script. will link it from computer.

I have a git in Codeberg for gemlogssh:
— https://codeberg.org/leoperbo/gemlogssh
It's in spanish and could present a lot of "bad practices" because I do not have professional training in the IT area (just amateur).
Forgive me for quoting myself yet again:

...So-called "professionals" want you to think amateur implies "inferior" - that is how they get to charge you money. Amateurs do it for love, not money. I am proud to be an amateur in the Gemini community.
I stumbled upon CRT the other day and was thinking how it could stay on Lagrange in reading. I get here and someone has already implemented something similar. 🔝
promised script to stream:
KEY=yourkey
ffmpeg \
-f x11grab -r 30 -s 1920x1080 -i :0.0+0,0 \
-f jack -i ffmpeg \
-c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -c:a aac \
-f flv "rtmp://yourpeertube.org:1935/live/${KEY}" | grep -v rtmp
i take sound from jack. same should work for youtube and twitch too, not only for peertube.

Nice! I played with ffmpeg and cvlc years ago, when I was trying to make a script for fast-start recordings with a keybind. Making scenes with layers is too much for my limited knowledge and time, so, I take advantage of OBS... Have you tried making a multi-layered script that includes cameras and images?
For extra credit, maybe someone can figure out how to alpha-composite the edges of the screen image, or at least a non-rectangular masks!
heh, instead of scene with a camera i just do mplayer which plays from the webcam.
i actually decided to use ffmpeg instead of obs because obs was putting video on the screen without window decorator and title bar. and it looked inconsistent. so i decided to play stream with mplayer.
btw the video stream comes from canon 6d, which was not supported by canon official software which helps to use camera as a webcam, but gphoto2 can do that.)
to be fair i need to say that during covid i think canon not only released its software which makes it possible to use some cameras as web cams, but also released an update which if i am not mistaken supported my old and outdated camera.

The abscense of window decorator "issue" made posible the video which starts this thread 😅
Your video is from your entire desktop, isn't it? OBS allows you to generate scenes by putting content from different sources (windows, images, cameras, webcams, phones...) together, in the way you need them, like making a collage.
BTW, nice desktop, is it Enlightenment DE? or another implementation of GNUstep?
