NEW GUIDE: How to Use Greenscreen Video in MakeCode @adafruit @johnedgarpark #adafruit @MSMakeCode
This new guide shows you how to live inside the MakeCode matrix! We’re often asked, “How does John Park appear among the code blocks during the MakeCode Minute?” This is how!
Great for making tutorials and livestreaming, this feature of Adafruit MakeCode and MakeCode Arcade let’s you stream a USB video camera as the Chrome browser background. You can also set MakeCode to a greenscreen background for use in your livestreaming or capture software if it supports layers and chromakeying.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
