These days most live streaming software packages include chroma keying as a feature. If you want to learn how they did chroma keying in the past, then I’d recommend watching this great video by Tom Scott. In the days before computers, creating this effect was an tedious process.

The most obvious use of this technique is for weather broadcasts, where the presenter is composited over the top of a weather radar image. Chroma keying is used to remove the background of a video scene which is then composited over another scene or image. The use of chroma keying has become quite popular in recent years, with many applications of this video effect used for live streaming.
