Please provide a video of exactly how you are setup with what settings that make your silhouette completely clean and crisp. I tried to prevent the waviness around the edges and never succeeded. The OBS background remover is okay but there is still waviness around the edges. I tweeked all of the chromekey settings without any success. Maybe you have a great GPU that made the difference. I really want to know what works. I just wanted an update about Powerpoint. Thanks for the video.

Hello Jamie, how are you? Lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing your teaching tutorials on Teacher's Tech. I applied for a teaching assistant vacancy and Pastoral Director vacancy with Ark schools in London, England and I am having such a difficult time. I have applied for so many vacancies and I did not receive any response. Can you assist me with obtaining a primary teaching job. I have primary supply teaching experience but I am UNQUALIFIED. I applied to Teacher's College and I could not get into it several times. I really need help please. Gracefully yours.
