2. Why Choose OBS?: All right, so in this
class we're going to look at what is OBS, and what are some of the features that
you should consider while choosing a screen
recorder or a video recorder. Why you should choose OBS, Okay? And then we're going to look at the system requirements
for both Windows, Mac operating system, and Linux. Okay. So let's start with
what exactly is OBS? Obs is an acronym for open
broadcaster software. It's a free and open
source software for video recording
and live streaming. So it is widely used
by content creators, gamers and online broadcasters
for capturing and sharing their screen or live
content with audiences. So in general, people choose
OBS for a number of reasons. The first one is the
open source nature. Okay? Like we said, OBS is free. And open source nature
means that everyone can access and modify the
software underlying code. And this makes it a cost
effective option for beginners. Okay, so anyone who
wants to record, screen and do live streaming, OBS is a very good
option because it is completely free
and it's open source. All right, so we
have another reason, which is the cross
platform compatibility. Obs is available for Windows, Macropating system, and Linux. Okay, So this is
providing users with the flexibility
and compatibility across different
operating system. So whichever one you're using, you can easily use OPS, and then we have the
user friendly interface. Okay, this is the third feature, which means the interface, the interface of OBS is
intreative and user friendly, making it accessible
for beginners. So it offers a
straightforward set up for basic recording and streaming
needs however you want it. And then we talk about the
customizable scenes, okay? Users can create and switch
between different scenes and allowing them to customize and organize their
content, okay? This is particularly useful
for switching between various sources or scenes during a live stream
or recording. So you can switch in between different kind of media
sources within OBS, and then we talk about
multiple sources, okay? Multiple sources
and media types. Obs supports a wide range of sources, including
screen capture, webcomingmpute image text,
and minimal sources. Okay? Users can easily combine these elements to create an
engaging and dynamic content. So depending on what
you're trying to create, you can use different kind of sources to send in your message. And then another
reason is that it has a very powerful studio mode. Okay? The studio mode enables users to preview changes
before they go live, so you can preview everything
before you even go live. This is especially helpful
for adjusting scenes and sources without interrupting the ongoing
stream or recording. So you can do all that. It has a very
powerful studio mode. And then we talk about
configurable hot keys. Okay, so OBS allows users
to set up custom hot keys, making it easy to control
various aspects of recording or streaming without needing to navigate through
the interfaces. Okay, so very easily you can customize the hot keys to
enable you to work faster. And then we have
support for plug ins. The software supports plug ins that extend its functionality. Okay. Users can
embrace the OBS with additional features
and integrations based on their specific needs. So there are specific
plugins that you can easily download and
install within OBS. We're going to look at some
few of them in this course, So, and then we have
certain profiles. Okay? Obs lets users to save
and load different profiles, making it convenient
to switch between recording set ups or
stream configurations. This is beneficial
for users who create content for different
platforms or purposes. So you can change or vary
the profile settings. Okay, And then we have
active community. Obs has a very large
and active community, which means plenty of tutorials, forums, and resources are
available for beginners. Okay? You can have
everything that you need, whether you are troubleshooting issues or looking to learn
advanced techniques. There's a wealth of
community support within OBS and you actively enjoy
everything within the community. And the last thing is
regular updates, okay? Obs consistently dish out
updates to users, okay? So they consistently are
updated to align with the current trend and what is happening around
the users, Okay? But overall to say
that in a summary, OBS is a versatile
and accessible tool for video recording and
live streaming, okay? And it's user
friendly interface, customizable options
and community support makes it an excellent
choice for beginners. So this is very, very excellent for beginners. As regards the
system requirements, we can see that these are the requirements for
Mac operating system. You can stop the video
and take a look at it. This is the minimum requirement for OBS to run successfully on, and then these are the
requirements for Windows. Okay? And this is
the requirement for Linux operating system. So you can just go ahead and explore it and try to
see how you can use it. Okay, so this brings
us to the end of this tutorial
covering what is OBS, what are the main
features of OBS, and what is the minimum
system requirements for the different operating system
to install and use OBS. I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class, we are
going to look at how to download and install
OBS within our system. Until next time,
thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing you in the next class, right?
3. Downloading and Installing OBS: All right, so in
this class we are going to learn how to download and install OBS within
our operating system. So to start with, all you need is just to come
to your browser, anywhere at the top, come to the search and just
search for Google. And you can just go ahead and search for OBS, just like so. And you can just hit on Enter. You can see it over here at the first search, open
broadcaster software. This is the main meaning of OBS like we've explained
in the previous class. You can see a bit about it. Or you can just go
ahead and go to OBS Projects.com and it's going to bring it to the
same platform. So let's select the
first one here. And it's going to bring
us to the OBS platform. Free and open source software for video recording
and live streaming. And it's available
for all of these, so you can just go ahead and select your operating system, whether you are Windows, it supports Windows
Ten and Windows 11. Like we've given in the system
requirements for makes. This is the vision new 11.0
new and then we have Linux. It supports Linux
operating system. So you can just go
ahead and download it. Depending on which operating
system you're working with, you can just go ahead
and click to download. In my own case, it's
Mac operating system and it's Intel chip, so I'm going to select
Marc and Intel. So it's going to
download for me. Can just go ahead
and install it. It's very easy to install.
It's just step by step. So let's just give you some
time to finish the download. It's just about 168 megabytes. Once you finish the download, we'll go ahead and
install it and then I will show
you how to use it. All right, so as you can see, BS has just been downloaded
for Mac operating system, so we can click over
here and just go ahead and install it by
just double clicking. As usual, we're just going to follow through and just
go ahead and install. All right, so as usual
we just drag and drop this into our
applications and boom, it has just finished
the installation. So we can just go ahead and
click on this to close, and then we can navigate
to our lunch part, and we see OBS
installed over here. So I think this does it on this tutorial on how to download and install OBS within
our operating system. So you can just go ahead
and open it to Kickstart. But then in the next class, we're going to learn
how to open OBS, create a project, and understand the general
overview of the platform. What, and what do we need to understand to
kickstart using OBS? Until next time,
thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing
you in the next class. By.
4. General Overview of the Interface: All right, so in the last
class we talked about how to download and install OBS
within our operating system, which is marked in this case. And this class, we're
going to look at how to open create a project and look at the general
overview of the OBS platform. So to start with,
we can just come all the way to our launch pad. Over here, you can just
click and we can see OBS, newly and freshly
installed over here. So we can just click on it. Now, once you open OBS, this is the platform that you'll be welcomed with at the center, you see you have
this big black box. It's just the preview panel where you can preview all
of what you are working on, be it your screen recording
or you're doing live stream. This is where you do all of your previewing in
this very panel. All right, so the next to the bottom right to have the start streaming
as the name implies, you can start your
streaming from here, You can start
recording from here, and you can work with them
simultaneously for interested, you can start virtual
camera from here as well. And then you have
the Studio mode. Now the studio mode is very, very important because
it enables you to preview a window
before you go live. Okay, so when you click on it, you'll be able to
see two windows. This is the preview
scene and then this is the program scene.
This is the live scene. Whatever you have
before you go to life, you can preview it from here. Whatever is here, it's
not captured live. You can do all of your
arrangement, all of your settings, maybe changing
different graphics or different kind of
settings before you go live. Once you hit on this transition, it's going to go live
on the other side. So you can always click out to have the main preview panel. Now down here you
have the settings. This is where you have
most of your settings. General stream settings,
output settings, video and audio
settings, the hot keys. You can customize all
of these from here. We're going to get
the settins in a bit through this tutorial
so you'll be able to understand what
we're talking about. Then lastly, here
we have the exit, which means once
you click on this, it's going to exit
the entire OBS. And then down here
at the bottom, you'll be able to
see the CPU usage of your system if it is consuming a lot of
fuel, system power. You're going to know if it is really overloading your
system or underloading it. You'll be able to know from
here and then over here you can know how much recording
you have recorded. And you'll be able
to know how much of a stream livestream
that you have done. How long have you
been livestreaming? So that's about this. The next is the
scene transition. This is exactly
what we talk about, where we are talking
about transition. You can insert different
kind of transitions within the studio mode, okay? So you can insert transition
and add different duration. Alternatively, you
can still click on the studio mode and you'll still have the same
transition from here. So you can choose to put in different different
kind of transition. You can just specify
exactly what kind of transition you want to add and you'll be able to
customize the duration. The next thing is you
have the audio mixer. This is where you
have the properties of all the audio that
you have connected, the gadgets that you have
connected on your system. Be able to access and
quantify the sensitivity of the audio that you have over here of all the gadgets,
be it an external microphone or
internal microphone that the system
has or thereabout, you'll be able to
control from here. So we're going to
look at audio mixer also during our recordings. The next is we have sources. This is where you can add
in different kind of media, be an image, a video, an audio, or even a website or a
folder containing documents. You can add everything from
here and you'll be able to go live and customize
things directly. The next one, sources
as subset of scenes, is just like group of items. You can group different kind
of gadgets or connections. Maybe audio, video media. You can group them accordingly. Web Comes, you'll be able to group all of them accordingly. And you can be able to access
them directly over here. You can navigate up and down. And you can add
the media sources. You can add scenes directly, and you can add sources
directly by clicking on the. You have a bunch of other things that you
can add from here. You can add audio input
capture audio output output capture browser display
capture images and so on. You have very many
things including text, you'll be able to add
directly from here. Okay. You can add different kind scenes and iphone clients. You can add text of any
type like you said. You can add so
many things, okay? And over here, this where you have the properties
and the filters, you can add them directly. I'm going to show you how
to use the properties and the filters of different scenes or of different sources
that you've added. Again, just like
every other software, you have this menu. Okay? At the top, you have the
file and edits, and views, and docs and files, you have a bunch
of other controls. From here you have
system preferences, which you can set up from here directly if you're interested. All right, so I
think this does it on this tutorial on how to understand how to open OBS and understand
the general overview of the platform. What is
what and why is it there? Okay, so in the next class
we are going to look at the key settings that you
need to understand and what, and what settings
you should adjust before you start
recording with OBS. Okay? So until next time. Thanks for watching,
and I look forward to seeing you in the
next class. Bye.
5. Settings and Configurations in OBS: Okay, so in the last
class we talked about the general overview
of the OBS interface. And in this class we're going to look into the main settings and configurations of OBS before we start streaming or
recording our screen with it. So to start with,
you can come all the way to the setting
step over here, you can just click on it. This is where you set in
all of the features that you need to kick start
recording or going live. At the top here we have the general feature
where you're going to set in the language and you're
going to set in the theme. If you want it to be this, yami, you can go
ahead and use it. Or if you want it to be gray, we just one click, you can see it just changed everything. If you want it to be light, you can select and it's
going to go light. But I think I like
the Yemi color, which is the default, and I think it's the one
of the best color. You can go ahead and check
in different things. For example, in the output, the updates over here, you can automatically check for updates, but
I don't do that. The one thing I do check
over here is in the output, which is to show confirmation dialogue
when starting streams. And to show confirmation
dialogue when stopping streams. Because this is very important, especially when you are
recording or you start streaming and you accidentally press something and
it's going to stop. Or it's going to start,
it's going to pop out to let you know that it's going to start
or it's going to stop. So it's very good
to enable this too, and this is when
stopping recording and automatically
record when streaming. Okay. So you can
enable all of these. These are very, very key settings that you can just
choose to start with. Then the next one
is we have this, a bunch of other features. Source alignment snapping, I
don't touch anything here. Projectors, stream
key system tree, I don't touch
anything virtually, I don't touch anything
here apart from these basic ones that you need. Then we have the
Stream Settings. Now in the Stream Settings, the first one you
see is the services. You can click over here to see the major platforms that
you can stream for. You can stream from Youtube, HLS, Youtube, RTMP's, Twitch. You can Facebook live
stream, the IO, Twitter. You can even show all from here. You can see a bunch of other different platforms
that you can go live on. Okay, there are many
of them depending on what you are trying
to go ahead and use. But for this tutorial
I'm going to go with Youtube, RRT, MPS. Okay? And then over here
you can select the Saba. I'm going to go with the
default primary Youtube. Just Saba, and I'm going to
use Stream Key to connect. Okay, so we can just select this and I'm going to
select the Stream Key. You can access the
Stream Key by just going to your Youtube account. You just go ahead and
go to your account and you can just come all
the way to start live. You can click on Go
Live and it's going to bring you over to
this very platform. You can go ahead and select
the RGMPkey over here. The Stream Key is here, so you can just copy it. And once you copy this, you
can go back to your OBS. And go back to your OBS and
just past the code over here. Okay, if you want to,
you can show it and you can just go ahead and do the
next one. This is streaming. You can go to the
output, the output, you can set up the output
mode, I keep it as simple. Then we have the streaming. Usually this video betraate
is, it has a range, okay? The selected or agreed one
is 3-5 thousand kilobyte. If you're doing a 720 video. 720 video. But if you're going to 1,000 P, you can change certain
things from here. Let's check out the specifications
as given by Youtube. For example, if you
are going to do a 720 or ten ATP video, let's come down over here, Let's check out this. This is the choose
Live encoder Settings, bit rates and resolution. Down here you can
see in this table, if you're going to
stream at 07:22 40 to 720 P 30 Framet Puscon. You're recommended
to stay between the minimum bitrate
that you can go with. The sentence is 3,000
megabyte Puscon. This 3,000 kilobyte, three
megabyte perc, okay? If you can go between
that and 88000. Okay, 3000-8 thousand is good
so that you don't affect, it doesn't affect the
quality of your recording. You can send in
very good quality, but then it doesn't
affect the performance of your system and the
auto bitrate also, you shouldn't choose
anything below 128. Okay? 128 is a key and it
can send very good quality. You have this much range up
to 320, you can just select. At this point I have
selected the video try to be 5,000 which
is within the range, and then the audio
ptraate to be 160. You can check out the recording
features also you can just specify exactly where
you want the recording to go. You can specify that then
in terms of the quality. I usually go for the
recording format P four. Okay. I do go with MP four and high quality,
medium file size. You can just select
all of these. You can go to loss less
quality if you want, but this is the
optimum for a start. And then you can go ahead
and check out other things. I don't really touch
any other thing from here apart from this. Then we can go to
the audio settings. In the audio settings, I
keep everything at default. I think the only
thing I change is this Mic auxiliary
audio over here. So you can click to just use your own device that
you have connected, the primary one that
you want to use. In my own case, I'm
going to use the road NTSB for all of my recordings. So I'm going to select it over here even if it
shows the default, which means it's going
to use the system, set up the system device
that you've connected. Try to make sure that you select your own device
that you're going to use primarily at this point. Okay? Other things you can keep a default meters and everything, every other thing you can just select and keep them at default. Then we have one of the
most important setting which is the video setting. This is the base
canvas resolution. This one that we have, the
default is 1920 by 1080, which is 16 by nine. And then the output resolution, which is the one that
you're going to go, for example if
you're going live, is going to be 1920
by 1080 as well. If you have any other choice, you can feel free to select from here or you can manually type
in if you're interested. All right, and then the
framed pass can usually allow it at 30 for this tutorial
and for the recordings. 30 is good for most
of your recordings. So you can go ahead and
go to the hot keys. You can customize
the hot keys and put in any kind of hot
key customize, for example, starting streaming
and stopping streaming. You can do them
with this letter, EN W, and then starting
recording and stop recording. You can customize and add any kind of letter
that you want. These are very, very basic
and this is very important. So there are different kind of controls that you can just easily use to enhance your work. They will have accessibility, which I don't touch
anything here. And the advanced, but there are some key advanced things here that you can just
pay attention to. But in most cases, I
don't touch anything. The only thing I do is
I just enable this. I just make sure I enable this. This automatically
reconnect in case when I'm recording my system
and something happened. My Internet is down to automatically
reconnect, retry delay. It's going to be just 2 seconds. It's going to reconnect
for you automatically. So this is very important
for you to have it selected. So once you're done
setting up everything, you can just go
ahead and click on Okay and you have All ops, all of your settings enabled. Alternatively, when you want to record something with OBS, there's another way to
do it faster so that you can quickly put in the best
settings on your system. So to do that you can come and you can just
come all the way to, you can just come all the
way to tools over here, you can see auto
configuration with that you can just
select this and it's going to ask you to select what are you going
to use the system for? You're optimizing for streaming. It's going to put in
the best settings for streaming or the recording is secondary if you are going
to do live streaming and if you're optimizing for recording,
I will not be streaming. You can just go ahead
and see recording. I will not be streaming
and it's going to optimize the settings again for
recording and not be streaming. I will only be using
on the virtual camera. You can enable all
this. So in this case, let's say I'm going
for recording. I will not be streaming
at the start of this. So you can select
and click on Next. And then you can specify the base resolution
that you want and then the frame
rate that you want. And it's going to
give you the best settings to choose from. Okay, so you can go
ahead and click on Next. And this is going to scan your
entire system and give you the best settings
that you can use to record or to loud live
streaming with OBS. I find this exceptionally
useful and it's very, very important to learn how
to do the auto configuration, how to use the auto
configuration wizard to get the best settings for your recording or
live streaming. All right, so you can
see within seconds we've gotten the best or the
optimum configuration. You can see the program
has determined that the estimated settings are
the most ideal for you. You recording encoder, you have this and recording quality, you have high quality,
medium file size, base canvas resolution 1920 and the output resolution 640
by 360 and then framed 30. So this is the very
basic ones that it has identified for you. You can select this
and with the settings, your system can perform optimally during your
recording or livestreaming, but in this case recording. So you can apply
the settings if you want or you can cancel
if you want just for your information
that you can do all the within OBS. All right. So I think this does
it on this trial on how to understand
the general settings and configurations
of our OBS before we start any kind of
recording or live streaming. Thanks for watching.
In the next class, we're going to look at how to
add in scenes and sources. And we will strive
to see how we can record our screen with OBS. Until next time, thanks
for watching and I look forward to seeing you
in the next class. Bye.
6. Adding Scenes and Sources: All right, so in the
last class we talked about the general settings and configurations for how to record and re live stream using OBS. And in this class we are going
to talk about how to bring in sources under
different kind of scenes. The one thing that I forgot to share with us in
the last class is the rearrangement of all
of these features, okay? So generally in OBS, you can move the features directly by selecting
and you can just drag and drop them in different points,
different positions. You can just, and you can position them anywhere,
all of these features, you can move them to different angles if you want and if you
want at the end of it all you can double
click to bring back all of them into
their respective places. Or you can just come
all the way to the top here to view and
you can say Set UI, and everything is going to go back to its normal position. So I forgot to share
this with you today. In this class, we're going
to talk about how to add scenes and
sauces to add sins. Scenes are what contain sauces. Ok sauces all housed
under scenes. When we have different
kind of functions, maybe different kind of things that we want to do with OBS, we can categorize
them in scenes. In this case, we want
to capture screen only. In another case, we want
to have screen and webcam. In another case, we want
to have other sources like text videos and so on. So we can classify
them accordingly In each sources they're
housed under scenes. Sources are subsets of scenes. Let's start with this and we can just write Click Come to Rename. Unless we rename this
to be our desktop, our desktop recording,
for example. This is Dexstop recording. So this is the name of
this particular scenes, Dextop recording. So we can come to the sources and we can click
on this plot sign. As usual, we have our
application audio capture this when you have a
specified application that you want to
capture its audio, we can always do that from here. We have the audio input capture. This is from maybe external
microphone or using the system microphone that
you want to capture sound. You can use this and then
this audio output capture. For example, if you
want to capture the audio that is coming
out of your system, you can use this feature from the speaker or from any
external speakerf connected. You can always use this
as audio output capture. And then we have browser
if you want to browse a specific website or
maybe you have it as a background or just
to showcase it in OBS, you can use this
feature as well. Then we have the color source. Sometimes you may want to add just a plain background with
different color under it. And you can use it to
showcase anything. You can use this feature
if you're interested. And then you can have
display capture. This is when you want to
capture your entire screen, regardless of different kind of tabs or different
kind of windows, you can do that with
the display capture. It captures everything
within your screen. Okay. And then we
have game capture. Game capture, actually as the name implies, is for gamers, if you're playing
games on the screen, you can always use this
feature to capture games. Okay. And then we
have the image. Images are inserted
in OBS if you want to use them as background or
for just for illustrations. Or sometimes you may
have logos in form of images inserted into the OBS to serve as a background
or to serve as part of your brand within a particular video
that you are creating. And then we have
image slide show. Image slide show also
is a combination of different images that you
can always use in OBS. Maybe to slide from one image to another
explaining different concepts. The media source is an opportunity for you to bring in different
kind of media, maybe an image also, it could be video, an intro video, or any kind
of audio, or thereabout. The scenes are scenes
within scenes. If you want to create
another scene, you can use this text also brings in different kind
of text that you can use, be it a background text or just a title or a lower
third or any kind of text. You can bring it in and
customize who are going to look at how to bring
in different kind of text in this tutorial. And then we have
video capture device. This is when you want
to use your webcam or any kind of device to
capture your video. Maybe a system
camera or any kind of camera that you have
connected with your system. You can use this to
capture videos from it. And then we have
VLC Video sources. If you have VLC Media
Player playing, you can easily use
this to bring in a media directly from
that particular player. So then we have Windows Capture. This captures a particular
window that you have defined, not the entire screen, but a specified window
within your computer. And then we can group all of these features in
different groups, and we can name
them accordingly. You can put them in a folder soon like a folder collapsible. All right, but for this class, we are now at this point going
to add a screen capture, which is our desktop
recording under the scene. So what we want to use, we want to use this
display capture. So you can select
display capture. And we can give it a name. Okay, so we can call
this a desktop. Then we can come over here
and say, okay to this. Now you have the option to
specify the capture method. Usually leave it at default. And then if you have display, you have more than one monitor
connected to your device, you can select a
particular monitor. Or maybe if you have
another one connected, you can select from
here and then you can enable to show so or not. If you uncheck this, then during your explanation
or your tutorial, you are not going to see
the mouse button moving. If you enable, it's going
to show your mouse. So this is very important
for illustration purpose. So at this point I can
see, okay to this, and now we can see we've
added our desktop to this. Okay. It could be our desktop. It could be anything
that is behind this. Right? So we just capture, now if you look at the sizing, it's not fully fitted
in our canvas. So you have the option
to manually come to the edges and select and
drag until you fit in. Or on another way
you can just write. Click over here, you
can come to transform, and then you can come
to Fit to screen. And you can see with
just one click, everything is not
fit to screen, okay? So this is the desktop. We can look at another
scene, for example. We can come back and
click on this plus side. But this time around we
want to capture desktop. Web Come. Okay, we want to capture the
desktop and Web come. And we can hit on, Okay,
this is a new scene, so we can come to display
sign and we can add sources. The first one is going
to be a display capture because we want to
capture the desktop. All right, you can add desktop like this in
case if you already name it, you can come to add
an existing location. So you can select this
and we can say okay. And it's going to
capture a desktop. This same desktop that
we want to capture. You can come over here,
click and still come to transform and come
to fit to screen. And now everything
is fitted to screen. Now we want to add another
one, which is the web come. So we can click on
this plus sign. Now we're going to capture, adding a video capture device. So we can click on this and we can now define what is this? This is my Webcoe. If you have modern Webcoe, you can specify it because
it's always very important to specify the input sources so
that you don't mix them up. It becomes very handy when you start beginning to use
so many of the sources. Okay, So you can say, okay
to this and you can now, at this moment, select which of the device
you want to capture. I want to use my USB camera
when I've just selected it. You can see, hello,
welcome to my house. So you can select on
your own to deactivate, or you can configure the video
with different features. You can configure the crossbar. And you can deactivate
when not showing. And you have a bunch of other
things like resolution. You can define all of this. You can come to the
resolution frame, pass a card, you can
define all of this. And then the color
spacing and range. I don't usually touch
anything from here, so I can just go ahead
and say okay to this. And this now becomes the
webcom that I've added. Now when you notice that
it has covered everything, okay, and what I want to do, I want to do picture in picture, like me explaining a video
or editorial in using this. So I can just come over, selecting the webcom,
can come to the top, over here, to the top left. And click so I can drag, so you can see now I have
a picture in picture. So me explaining this screen, what is happening behind me. And another way you
can beautify this, you can come to
select the webcam. Come over here, hold down the old key in Windows
or the option key in mark and come to the
edges holding down the old key and you
can just select drug. And you can see you've now
trimmed the left section. You can do the same for
the right section holding down the old or the
option key or mark. So you can see I've
trimmed this other side. And you can do the same
thing for the top as well. And on your own you can move this webcam to any
location of your choice. I'm sure you've seen this
in tutorials where you can define where exactly you
want to position this. Okay, so let's say we
have it positioned here, so I think this is
very, very nice. And we can switch
also in between desktop recording only as
well as desktop and webcam. It could be very handy when you're explaining things
in your tutorial. Now, another thing you
can pay attention to is we can add in another source. Okay, another scene. But then you can
understand that we can reshuffle the position of
this with this arrows. Okay, so we can bring
this to the top, or we can bring
it to the bottom. You can see right
now it has feeding. It's gone beyond or
behind the screen. Or we can bring it
back if you want. And we can double it on or
off using these features. Okay? On or off even the screen. And we can lock them against
any kind of editing. Okay? We can lock and unlock
them with this lock sign. Okay? So this is about
desktop and webcom. We can add another source
from here probably we can call it others. You can call it others. Okay, so we can come over
here and say, okay to this. Now in this source we can
come to the plus sign. For example, we may want
to add an intro video. So we can just go ahead and
say we want to capture. A media media source. Okay, so let's say we want
to capture media source. I can call this an intro video. For example, intro video.
You can click on this. And I will have the
option to define the location that we want
to bring in that video. You can click on
this Browse file. I have it index Downloads. I can select on this,
I can click on Open, so you can see a preview
of what you have. Then you have the option to loop at any given point,
you can loop it. When it gets to the
end, it plays back. You can vary the
speed also from here, but I don't touch
everything here. I only loop TV Intro if I
wanted to keep playing, so it doesn't stop, I can
come over here and say, okay, I can see intro ten. You can see very
nicely prepared. You can see the
arrangement and so on. So this is how to
bring in an intro. You can pause also from
here or you can stop it. So let's say we stopped it. And then as zooming, I want to add a text into it. So let's say I bring
in a text as a source. We can click on the plus
sign, come to text, and we can just
type in this title. For example, this is a title. We can click Ok to this. Now we can define the title. Welcome to my channel. For example, over here, you can select the fonts. You can vary the different
fonts that we have. You can select from here, you can select the
style of the fonts. You can see different
font style, the sizing. You can vary
accordingly from here. Or you can manually
define if you want. And then you can
have some effects like strike through underline, or you can change
the writing system and you can always see
the preview from here. I kind of like what
I have down here. You have other controls
that you can choose. The transform feature, you can transform it to upper case, lower case, or start case. Or you can select and
change the color to any color of your choice
however you want it. You can change the
background color, alignments and
vertical outlines. You can select and enable
all of them at this point. I just wanted to be
welcome to my channel. I can say okay to this. And I can position it directly to any point I
could come to the edges. Just drag. All right, so it becomes a bit smaller
and I can just put it here. All right, so you can see
right now we have this. When I try to play, this is now on top of my video. So when I select the
video and try to play, you can see what
I'm talking about. Welcome to my channel. Let's now playing. Okay, so you can see this is the intro. This is now playing
behind the intro I like. I can add any logo to this or any image using
this image source. You can select and
come to Image. And I can just select and
add any image of my choice. For example, I can just select and call this happy monkey. Okay, I can just click on, okay, I can bring
in another image. So go to this and
I have this image. All right, I think this is it. So I have this monkey. So I can just click on. Okay. You can see right
now I can write, Click Come to Transform, and come to Fit to screen. And now everything is
fitted to the screen. If I like, I can just reduce
the sizing and put it here. Okay. So this just to show
you that we can bring in multiple things over here and we can group them
also if you want, you can select and click. I'll just come to
Group Selection and we can put in others. Okay, other features. Okay, so you can just
select so we can collapse. This is what I'm trying to say. We can collapse
this if interested, and all this becomes grouped. Okay? So if you want, you can navigate across into
different kind of sources, different kind of scenes
as we are explaining. You may want to move from
the normal deckstop only to decktop and webcom and to
explain all of these features. And it was going to start moving and start playing
directly accordingly. Okay, so this is basically how to adding scenes and
sources within OBS. In the next we're going to
look at the audio mixer. How to deal with audio mixer, and what are some of the
ways to add or remove audio and then configure
some of the features. And then we're going to look at scene transitions as well. So how do we transit
smoothly using this feature? Okay, so until next time. Thanks for watching,
and I look forward to seeing you in the
next class, Bye.
7. Audio Mixer and Scene Transitions: All right, so in
the last class we talked about how
to add scenes and sources and even customize them to however
we want it, okay? And in this class
we're going to look at audio mixer and the
scene transition, okay? How do we play around with audio mixer and
scene transition? So one thing we forgot
to talk about in the last class was the fact
that any source that we have, if we select it, can
come to properties. And we'll still come back to
its properties over here. Okay, So regardless
whichever source we select, we can still come the
properties and we can do whatever we want
from here directly. So in audio mixer, this is what contains all of our audio that we're going
to use in this tutorial. All right, so regardless of whether we are going
to use it or not, we have to define which
one is the desktop audio. This is the speaker that
we're going to use for this. And then this is
the Mic auxiliary. Okay, this is the
one that we have defined at the beginning
of the tutorial. If you could remember,
we've set it from here. So we come to the
audio mic auxiliary, we've defined this
to be Rode NTSB. Which is the Rode NTSB that
I'm using for this tutorial. Remember we've defined this. This Dektop audio is usually
the default computer audio, which is the one
that we're going to use this moment over here, the computer real tech, the computer speaker is what is defined in this one, okay? This particular one. This is using the default computer,
which is this one. And then the audio mic auxiliary is the one that we're
recording at the moment with. So we can always click
Ok to this, okay? So these are the two things you can play around with
the volume control. You can increase or decrease it. And you can come to these
three dots and you can click, and then you can have access
to the properties over here. You can define also if you didn't define it at
the initial stage, you can define which of the
microphones that you want to use and you can use divide
sametamp if you want. You can enable from here and
you can see okay to this. And this takes in that
particular device and you can see as I'm speaking
now, it is peaking. Okay? Because this is the road
NTUSB mic that I'm using, speaking into it, it
is peaking directly. Okay? So you can mute, mute directly, or you
can with this, okay? You have punch to other controls like the properties,
the filters. In most cases I always like
to put in the filters, okay, If I'm going
to start recording, especially in a
noisy environment, because my environment
right now is very quiet, and that's why I
don't usually use it. But in most cases, if you
are in a noisy environment, you have to use filters. In filters, it helps you
to limit the number of editings or the enhancement
that you're going to give to your audio
at post processing. Usually the filters I do add, I can come to this plus sign
I used to add compressor. I can leave it as compressor, and I leave everything
a default, okay? And then I add another thing
which is the noise gait. I do add noise gait and I
keep everything at default. Also, I do add noise suppression in cases of
if the place is very noisy. We have other
controls over here, but I keep everything
at default, good quality, and
most CPU usage. And then the last thing
I do add is the limiter. I do add limita also. So these are basic controls that you can play around with. Depending you can play
around with the threshold, but negative six
DB is very good, and the release, you
can play around with it depending on the
situation you find yourself. But mostly this is very, very useful to just
add some filters. Okay, Again, with
the three dots, you can rename the microphone
so that you can understand it in case if you
have multiple devices in the audio mixer. So you can call
this my mic, okay? You can call it my active mic, or the root N t, or the about. So you can just
rename it directly. This is about the audio mixer. You can change in
anything and you can add in filters
like we've explained. And you can check
the properties. You can check the
advanced audio properties over here where you can enable or disable things also from P. Or you can use mono balanced. You can vary the
volume and so on. You can see which
of the device is active and which is not okay. So this is just about this. The next thing that
we want to look at is the scene transition. So usually when we are
transiting between the scenes that we have from desktop and this and web come to others, it just cuts indirectly, okay? Which is unprofessional. Transitions are there to give us a very good transition or very good professionalism
in what we are doing. For example, we can select this and we can
see we can have a fit. Usually the default is defeat. But if you come to
this plot sign, you can click and we
can have the swipe. And you can swipe left, right, or center, or up. A preview to see the transition. So this swipe up and
this is swipe down. So let's see preview,
this is swiped down. And if you'd like you
can extend the timing, the duration from here. You can make a 450, 500
depending on how you want it. Or if you want you
can check out more. Because I always like
slide can hit on slide. So you can slide up for example. So let's
see the preview. I think this is nice, so
you can side like this. So when we're transiting
in between these, you can see we just
transit, okay? This is it. So this is the
power of adding transition. Everything now becomes very
professional and nice. Okay, so this is how
to add transition. It becomes very useful and handy also when we're doing
the studio mode. So you'll be able to
see the transition. This is what is in the preview
before you go life, okay? This is the actual program. But you can preview things from here and once you're okay, you can go ahead and
add in the transition. So the transition you can define any transition that
you can add, okay? So it moves from here, once it's hidden transit, what is here is now going to come directly into
the program so people can watch and ask the questions that they
want to ask, okay? But for now just to transit
in between the scenes, we can use the scene
transition from here. Okay, So I think
another thing that we can talk about is the scene
collection at the top here. Sometimes it's good to create scene collection for
maybe a particular set up so you don't have to keep adding the scenes during any video
that you want to create. You can make your
own collection. You can add it, for example, this selection that I have, I can easily define this scene as my
example Youtube scene. So I can just select and
make it Youtube scene. Okay, So once I
say okay to this, so anytime I come this, I can just come over here and once I click on
my Youtube scene, I'll be able to see all
of this now coming out. Okay. So this is very, very handy when you
have multiple scenes or when you want to do
different kind of action. For example, in
some cases you may want to stream life or
you want to record. You can have all
of these settings saved on your own, okay? Or in some cases you may
want to have the profile. The profile also is
good to define it because sometimes for a particular settings
that you have, you've set change everything. The input, the
output, the audio, the video and the hot keys, and the general input. You may not want to
repeat all of this, maybe when you are live streaming or when
you are recording. For you to avoid this, you can just go ahead and
create a profile. And that is going to save whatever setting
you have over here. You can just click on
this and you can make it my recording settings, okay, so you can see
a recording profile. Once you off for recording, you are going to
have some of these. You can just come over here to the profile and
we'll be able to have access to that. Okay. You can see a recording profile, so you'll be able to use it. All right, so basically
this is how to use your audio mixer scenes
and other bunch of controls to just have
an understanding of what we are talking about. So you can always
come to transform and fit to screen under
your back to normal. So I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class,
we are going to look at how to record our desktop O, and then how to record
our desktop and webcam. And then how to record all of these scenes at the same time. Desktop on desktop and webcam. And then the other features
that we've just talked about just for
illustration purpose. So until next time.
Thanks for watching and I look forward to seeing
you in the next class. Bye.
8. Recording Screen and Camera with OBS: All right, so in this
class we are going to learn how to record our screen. And then we record our camera, the webcam that we've attached together with the screen, okay, So that we can do something
like a picture in picture that you mostly
see in tutorials. And then lastly, we are going
to record other sections of the other scenes within
the OBS software. To start with, let's start
by recording our screen. So when we come to the
desktop recording, this is the source
that we've just added. We've just added
only the desktop. Now we need to add
as an audio source. To add an audio source, you can come to
the plus sign over here and you can write. You can select the
audio input capture. So we can select
audio input capture, but then we're just going to leave it as audio input capture. Or if you'd like, you
can define this to be my road T, for example, pencil root, we can just go
ahead and say okay to this. Now we have to define the device that we want to
use to capture our audio. So we just select road T and
we can say okay to this. Now it is going to
capture our audio. You can see right now we have
desktop and audio together. So you can even see from here, from the auxiliary mix, from the audio mixer, you can see the road T
is picking the sound. Now to start
recording the screen only all you need is just
to come to start recording. Over here we can just hit on start recording and right now we are recording the screen. Okay, let's say we push out of this and
let's open something. We can come over. This is Dektop, this
is just desktop. I'm just going to
open something. Desktop, Family Medicine. And these are some documents that has to do with
family medicine. We're just recording
the screen right now, and we can open any browser
and check out something. This is Microsoft's
browser, okay? So you can just do
anything that you want. Can open any tab,
you can do anything. So this is just a test. Now, once you're done, you
want to stop the recording. You can come back to OBS and you can come over here and
click on Stop Recording. So you can go ahead and
click on Stop Recording, and it's going to
stop the recording. Now once you stop recording, you have to find where, where does it go,
where is it saved? To find the recording, you can come to the file over here. You can say short recordings
and it's going to take you directly to where you
have saved your recording. Let's try to play and here a preview of what
we have recorded. This. Let's open something. This is dextop,
this is just text. I'm just going to open text. These are some documents
that has to Mm, And I think this is perfect. It has given us exactly what we are looking for
as regards this. So this is how to
record screen with OBS. It's very simple and
straightforward. Let's go back to OBS, but this time around we want
to record the green screen. Okay, so we want to record, let's record Dektop
and the web cam Hello. So we want to record myself. So let's hold the old key
and open this a little bit. Okay, let's hold the old key and open this so we
can see clearly. Now I want to record my screen and this my web come together, so we can do something
like picture, picture like I have said. So you can just go ahead. But over here also you have
to add a sound source. So we have to come
to the plus sign and go to audio input capture. And then we can just go ahead and just select the
device over here, road T, and we can
just say okay to this. And now we've added
an audio capture which you can see is showing, which means it is
picking something. All right, when we want
to start recording, we're going to record desktop as well as Web come together. So let's go ahead and
start recording from here. And right now we're
recording both of them. So let's say I want
to explain something. Hello and welcome to my channel. This is just a file, a research file containing different kind of
books, for example. This is Introduction to
Research a Research Theory. This is a Powerpoint
presentation that someone made. Okay, So you can just see this, just a demonstration of it.
So we can close on this. And let's go back to OBS les. Say we're done with
the recording, we want to stop the recording. We can just go ahead and say
stop recording right now. We would have these
two things recorded. So we can go to the
file again and show recordings that is going
to show us our recording. This one. So we can just
stop a clickeright. Now we're recording
both of them. So let's say I want
to explain something. Hello and welcome to my channel. This is just a file, a research file containing different kind of
books, for example. This is Introduction to
Research a Research theory. This is a Powerpoint Ps T
shirt that someone made that, okay, so I think this
is excellently perfect. This is done fantastically. So you can see we have recorded everything that
we needed to record. And you can now see the basics of how to record
different sections. Okay, so in cases
when you want to add other features and you want to maybe move from one
scene to another, you can do that also from here. The other scenes become very, very helpful and useful when
you are doing a live stream. Okay, that's when you
can be able to add in the other scenes to
showcase to your audience, just to display the
other scenes as part of what you're
recording, Okay. But for now you've seen the
basics of how to record, how to record screen
alone with audio, then screen capture as well as the web come together with
audio which is the most basic. Sometimes your recording
may be saved in MKV, okay? In some cases can find your
recording saved in MKV. For example, when you
come to the audio, when you come to the
output instead of MP four, you can save it in MKV. Okay, so like you've
seen over here, the recorded format is MKV. Mkv. All right, so if you
want to have it in MP four, you have to always
remix your video. Okay, your recording. So let's say okay to this. And if you want to remix it, you can just come over here, remove the recording,
and you can just define the location
from these three dots. You define which of the
recordings you want to remix. And you can select it and you
can just go ahead and open and it's just going to remix
it in very simple thing. Okay, so you can see
it's be mixed earlier, It is in MKV can sev and it's been cleared
to MP four right now. So MP four is very much better. You can play it on
different device and you can use it on any kind of video editing software
without you having any issue. Now, the best part why
OBS is recording in MKV, the advantage to this is that anytime your computer crashes
or you have any issue, maybe light failure or anything, that makes you stop recording. If you're recording in MPV, it's going to save all of your recording
up to that point. But if you're recording
in MP four and it's under OBS everything
that you've recorded, you're going to miss it. Okay. So if you're recording
very small number of time, then it's advisable
you use MP four. But if you are
recording very long, maybe 101520, 30 minutes, it's good to go with the MPV because at any given point,
if there's a failure, it's still going to go back
and it's going to save all of your recordings up
to the point of the filo. Okay, so this is how to
remix and then use it. Okay, so I think we have learned how to record our screen and camera and other features within OBS hope you
enjoy this video. In the next class, we're
going to look at how to add coloration and filter
effects to our videos. Okay. On the webcam. So until next time,
thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing
you in the next class. Bye.
9. Adding Colouration and Filters: All right, so in this class we are going to talk
about how to do color correction and maybe add some effects into
our videos in OBS. And to do color correction, all you need is just to
make sure you selected the device or the source that you want to play
around with, for example. In our own case, we're
going to play around with the webcam Okay, so we can just go ahead and
click on Select the Web, and then we can come
over to filters over. So it's going to bring in Ali, the webcam source
like we have here. So we have the option to put in audio and video filters
like I've explained to you. I do add audio filters
like compressor. I do add gain as
well as limiter. I do add lima and well, I do add noise suppression. Okay, These four things, I do add them constantly
to my audios. Now, the next thing
I do add is I can add other things like the
three band equalizer, which I don't use in most cases. But if you have you noticed
any delay in the audio, you can always insert the video
delay as synchronization. Okay? So you can add this. Now. The next thing is we can add effects, filter effects. Okay? So you can come
all the way down here, You can click this, where we add different kind of
coloration and so on. We can add lots. Okay? There
are different kind of lots. You can define the type of lots and you can
say, okay to this. Now you can go ahead and specify the path where
you have the lots. There's some diffault
ones in OBS, okay? So you can select this,
this original cube, this gray scale cube. And you can select
and open these lots. And you can see with
just a simple click, it has changed my video. And you can vary the
intensity of it from here, the amount of the lots
that you've inserted. You can see we can vary it from the original to how much of
the green color you want. You can always adjust
accordingly from here. Okay. I can check around
the different lots. We have this original and this brings you
back to original. So depending on what you're
trying to create and what kind of lots that you have you want to
play around with, but you can apply lots
of different types. And then over here you
can add chroma key. Will look at this
in the next video, probably how you can, you can add green
screen and then you can chroma key it very
easily in OBS. And then we can do
color correction, which is our main target for
today, color correction. So we can just go ahead, we have all of these
color features. The gamma, the contrast, the brightness, the saturation, the hue shift, and opacity. You can choose any of them and
we can adjust accordingly. Let's try to play around
with some of them. The first thing I do
touch is the gamma. I reduce the brightness
a little bit, which you can see that is
a little bit of a touch. And then I add the contrast
a little to the video, but then not to
make it too much, A little bit of it, so it just becomes a bit
contrasty and bright. I lower the brightness
again, just a little. Okay, so we can have my
blacks okay, pop out. And we want to add in
some saturation to give a bit of a color
into what I have. So we can see we have more
coloration right now. And then we can
have the hue shift. Don't put it too much.
You can see right now. Just change my
dress into yellow. Just a little bit of it so we can still have what
we are looking for. So a little bit bring my red color because
my shade is red color. And then we can play
out with the opacity. Also if interest
siple at this point, I don't touch opacity. If you want, you can
select this color, select color or color multiply. You can just selecting
any color and let you have it attached
into your video, just like that so you can see it just like dissolves
into everything. But I usually don't like it, so I can always remove it. Or you can undo this with the control Z and then
you're back to the normal. Okay, so you can add other
colors if you're interested. But I think as far as color
correction is concerned, I think this is okay. If you are to reduce anything, it should just be
a little bit of the gamma to have it
professionally reduced. A little bit and a little
bit of the contrast. Okay, so I think this is okay, so you can go ahead and play around with it
however you want it, but then you can always
come to the plus sign and you can add other
things like the crop pad, the HGR term marking, which I don't touch
anything over here. The very basic things
I use are the lots and color correction and if you have the color
key you want to add, you can also play
around with it. In some cases, I just
touch the sharpness, so we can just add
sharpness to the filters. And over here, you can control how much sharpness you want. You can put it to me so much and you can just reduces
sharpness and the repeat, so it just pops
out very clearly. Okay, so this, I think concludes this
tutorial on how to add filters as well as color correction in
our videos within OBS. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching
and I look forward to seeing you in the
next class. Bye.
10. Removing Video Background with OBS: All right, so in this class
we are going to learn how to remove an image or a video
background using OBS. For example, if we
have our background, usually we do have it
in green or blue color. Okay, so if you have
a blue background, you can use OBS to remove your background and replace it with something else. All right, so in this class
we're going to learn how to use the key to remove
the green background. For this class I'm going to use a media that I'm
going to import. I'm not going to show myself, so I'm going to use a media
that I'm going to import that has a green screen behind it. And so we can just use
the same procedure to remove the background and then replace it with something else. To add that media source, we can come and
create a new scene. For example, you
can come over here and writing green screen. You can just write
green screen and say, okay to this, these
are new scenes. So we can come over here, you can click on this, and then we can select
a media source. This time around,
I'm just going to say again, media source. We can keep it a media source. We can just browse to the location where
we have it in this, my downloads have
this spokesman, I can click on open
and it's here now. So we can click loop. If you want to loop it
to play continuous, you can go ahead and say okay
to this and this our video. You can just right click
again, come to transform. And if you come to fit to screen and everything is
now fitted to screen, now if you want to
remove this background, I replace it with something
another background. You can just go ahead and, for example, come to select
that particular media source. And he can come to
filters over here. And then you can come
to the effect filters. And you can come down to
the plus sign over here. You can click and you
can come to chroma key. Okay, so once you
hit on chromic key, you can specify the
name of the filter. We just leave it at chromic key because it's still chromic key. So you can click
on. Okay. Right now you can see our subject is
now without a background. Okay. It has done
a fantastic job. It has removed the
background completely. The only issue is
that his own clothing is nearly equal the background,
but it's not a problem. So we can always put
in another one cases, you may see that you have the remaining of the green
color within and you can trick to
remove it by coming to this key color spell reduction. You can just increase it a
little bit and it's going to clear the green areas that
you have within the subject. In this case, I think
it does a good job. So I'm just going to
see close to this. You can see right now I have my subject without a background. All right, the next thing is I want to add background to this, so that it becomes much more meaningful to
add a background. I'll come to the
sauce over here. I can add another sauce. But this time around I'm
going to add an image. I'm going to call it background. Okay, background image. All right, so background
image, you can see. Okay to this. And I can define the location
where I have it. I have it and use my
download, and this is it. So we can click on Okay. And you can see we
have these children in the classroom, for example. So we can just click on Ok. To this we have this image, we can write, Click Come
To Transform again. And we can come
to Fit to screen. And everything is now
fitted to screen. Now if you notice, this image is in front of our media source. We have the option to select our media source and
we can bring it up. So we have a guy directly in front of me explaining the
things he wants to explain. But then this is
a little bit big, so we can just silently
reduce the background. Okay, so we can reduce the
sizing, you get the message. The whole idea is for us
to just be able to remove the background and
replace it with something which we have
done perfectly well. So you can see right now we have the subject now in a plain
background as if it's in the classroom
explaining to the children the benefits of
exercising there about. Okay, so I think this does it on this class on how
to use chromic key to remove an image or a video background and replace it with
another background. I hope you enjoy this video. In the next class we're
going to look at how to do live streaming on Youtube. So we're going to do basic
live streaming on Youtube. See how, what are some of the
settings which you look at when going live and how
do we go life in general. So until next time, thanks for watching and
I look forward to seeing you in the
next class. Bye.
11. Livestreaming on YouTube: In this class we're going
to learn how to live stream on Youtube using OBS, okay? So you can live stream
on different platforms. But then for this
class we're going to select Youtube and we're
going to go live directly. So there are two ways to do it. You have to start by
setting up the account. So you can come all the way
to the Settings down here, You can click on Settings and then you can come to stream. So you have two methods. The first is you can
connect your account. You have to start by selecting which platform you
want to livestream on. There are different platforms. You can see you,
you, you can see Facebook Live and Twitter. You can go on, you
can show all and see many other platforms
that you can go live on. Okay. There's so many of them
that you can directly go live and you can interact with your followers or
with your students. But for this tutorial, we're going to select
Youtube, RT, MPS. Then we have two options. In this time, we can
connect a Youtube account, or we can use the Stream Key, which is an advanced feature. You can select User Stream Key. If you select Users Stream Key, then you have to go to
your Youtube account and copy this Stream Key. You have to copy this Stream key and come over
here and pass this. Let me show you how to
get this Stream Key. Usually you have to come to. All right, so usually you
have to go to your account. You can come to the live stream, and then you can come over here. Once you go to your
Youtube studio, you can go to where
you usually upload your videos and you can
just select to go live. And then you can come over here, so this is the Stream Key. You can see it over
here. So once you copy this Stream Key and go over
to your OBS and past it, you're just going to
start going live. So we can come to the
Stream Key and you can just past our Stream Key over here and just say okay
to this and apply. And then you can start going live from the live studio room. Okay. But then this is not
the method that I prefer. I prefer to connect my account because it comes with a lot of features because OBS also is
now connected to Youtube. I don't want to use this method. I want to go with
connect my account. So I can just come
online and just connect my account directly so I can select the account
that I want to connect. I want to connect to my Youtube
and can continue to this. You can see authorizations
completed successfully. You can now close this page. So I can go ahead
and close this page. And you can see right now I've connected my account Epic
Men to ship to this. I can ignore the streaming service settings recommendation. I can ignore everything. And then you can come all the way here and click on Apply. And once you click on Apply
and see and say okay to this, you can see that Youtube has already given you a chart box. This is actually by default that it gives you this chat box. So you can be able to monitor
everything from your OBS, so you can move it around. So let's say we move
it to somewhere here and just position it here. And then the next thing that
you need to do is you can close on this if you
want, say okay to this. And you can come
all the way here and say manage broadcast. So you can just click. And
you can just come over here, you can put the title
of your broadcast. What do you want to share with your followers, for example? In my own case, I may want to share my experience in 2023, my 2023 experience, so I can see successes and regrets. Okay. You can put in
the description just like the way you have a
normal Youtube videos. You can put in a description. You may include any, any affiliate link or any
subscription link that you want your members to click
and join all the details, you can paste them over here. On privacy, you have
the option to select public or to go
unlisted or private. For this case, I'm going to go listed because I don't want anyone to see now that we're going to life because
I'm not ready for this. It's just using it
for demonstration. So the next thing is you
can select your category. What is your category? What category you are
going to talk about? For example, this broadcast is going to be under
which category? So let's say we're going to talk about science and technology, or education in general. And then you can select, is this video made for kids? You can say, no, it's
not made for kids. And then you can
add your thumbnail directly by clicking and select. I can come to this download. I think I have
this. So let's just take this for example,
as a thumbnail. And then we can just go ahead
and put in the latency. Latency actually
can use the normal, which I usually use
the normal if you want to have no interaction,
you can just use normal. If you want to have minimal interaction with your audience, there's going to be
some more interactions there. You can put it at low. Or if you want to have
multiple interactions, you can keep it at
ultra low, okay? But I keep it at normal. Then once you have
everything set up, you can just go ahead and see, Create broadcast. And
start Livestreaming. Can click on this, say creating a new livestream
broadcast. Please wait. You can see right now we have started creating
the live stream. You can see that
we are live here and we have the
chat box over here. We can just click, we can position it if we want, we'll be able to see the
people that are charting us. So you can see we have
the chart chat box. We can position it, pass somewhere if interest. So these are chat box, okay. So you can add any chart, but then you can go to your Youtube channel and customize the
streaming directly. You can come all the way back
to your Youtube channel. You can come to content. Once you're on your
Youtube studio, you can come to content and
you can just go to live. And then you can see this is the life that you have, okay? So this is the live
streaming that you have. So what you need to do now, you can come to view
a live control room. So you can just
click and it's going to take you directly
to your control room. Okay, so you can see you have everything set up and at
the moment you are alive. So you'll be able to
see everything live. Okay, so this is the video
that we have going on. You can see everything
is now ongoing life and this is how much minutes
we've spent on live. This is the date scheduled
monetization is off privacy, we say we'll keep it at all listed so we don't have
anybody at this moment. You can change the
title also if you're interested category,
you can see everything. And then over here you
can also equally interact with your followers
directly by just typing. Everyone can be able to see
that you've typed something. You can monitor your
concurrent viewers chart rate, average view duration. You can monitor it from here. And this is the streaming settings that we're
talking about, The photo generated
stream key that you can copy and just pass it to other one if you want to
use the other method. Now at any given point, you can always
edit the settings, all these features that you have just added,
you can edit them. And then over here you can end your stream if you are
interested at any given point. Now let's go back to the OBS
to learn some more things. So this is the video
that is currently on and we'll be able to
see that we have a chart. When we extend this, we'll be able to see
that Epic Mentorship has send in a chart, which is hardly what
we're interested to see. Then we can use these
features for example. We can be able to see that, want to change the view. Anything you touch
here is going to go live directly so people can
be able to see directly. But then there's
a feature that we can use called the Studio mode. The studio mode you
have two things. The first one over
here is your preview, which is what you can
put before you go live. Okay, so right now we
can put in something. For example, I can come
to this green screen. This is my green screen. So once I come to
the green screen, I select this media, okay, I select the green
screen, for example, I'm on green screen, and so this video now is
about to go live. Once I hit on transition
is now going to go live. And people can watch
it directly from here without missing going live. It is going to stay
here and I can put in all the tri gritty things to make it better
before it goes live. So this is, as the name
implies, the preview section. Now if I want to show others, for example, I want to
show this intro video. I can select it, and right now
it is in the preview mode. Once I hit on transition, it's going to start playing
in the main live streaming. Okay, So this is the main thing, it's now playing over here. Now in this transition, you have the option
to change because the default is it cuts in and send in the
message over here. You can change the
different transition. You can click on this plot sign. And you can see there are
different other transitions. For example, I like this
slide feature, okay? So you can select on this slide and you can just use the slide. So if I want to change it
from this intro that I have, I want to send in something. Maybe I want to send
in this class pack. So I can just use
the transition. And you can see it slides in. That's the beauty of
using the sliding, okay, so it slides in
directly. All right. So you can change
other features from here and you can stop the
streaming at any given point. If you're interested in
stopping the streaming, you can stop the streaming. And if you want to go back
and share your screen, you can select on this change anything that you
want to change. And once you say transit, it's now going to start
showing you a screen. Okay, So let's go back to the main Youtube channel
to see what we are seeing. So this is what we have, okay? And you can see the
charts and everything. So basically you are alive now. And at any given point from OBS, you may start to stop streaming. Once you click on
Stop streaming, say yes, because you'll not
be able to reconnect this. The stream will stop and
it will no longer be live. I say okay to this. Yes. Then I see stopping and it
stops to streaming. Okay. So you can come all the way close on the
studio mode also, so you have all your
main mode, okay. So you can go back to the
Youtube channel and you can see that your life has stopped. Okay. You can end the stream. Yes, it, you can see this is your stream
finished and this is the video. You can see the duration took 5 minutes to
run this video. Okay, And you can always find in this studio at the live
streaming section. Okay, So I think this
concludes this tutorial on how to do live streaming
on Youtube using OBS. Okay, so in the next class we're going to look at how
to do live streaming, but this time
around on Facebook. Okay, So we're going to go live on Facebook and be able to see and what settings do we need to bring in
until next time. Thanks for watching
and I look forward to seeing you in the
next class. Bye.
12. Livestreaming on Facebook: All right. So in the last
class we talked about how to stream life using
OBS on Youtube. And in this class we're going to talk about how to go live on Facebook using OBS
to go live on Facebook, all you need is to start
by coming to Satins over here and you can come
all the way to stream. So this is where you can select the source or the platform
that you want to use. In my own case, there are so many platforms
you can show all. And you can see there
are so many of them that you can easily
choose and go live on. For this case, we are going
to go live on Facebook. You can see we've
selected Facebook live. And you can see you need
to put in the Stream Key. Okay, Stream Key is you can
get it directly from here. Which if you click, it's going to take you to your
Facebook account. You can open and just
copy the Stream key. Or alternatively, you
can just manually, on your own, go to
your Facebook account. Let's say I can come to
my Facebook account, come to your Facebook account, and you go to Live Video. And then you can select
Good Life over here. And you can go Life
directly. This is Good Life. So you can click on Good Life. And then you can put in
some settings from Pre. Once you're here, you
can click on this. You have the option to choose
to select a video source. You can start from webcom or you can stream directly
from a software. Which is what we're
going to do because our software today is OBS select the stream from
software and this is the stream key that we're
talking about, this one. All right, so you can just
go ahead and copy this. And then you can go
back to the software and you can past the
stream Key from pre, okay, contrave to pest. Then we can go ahead and apply this and
say, okay to this. Now we can come back
to our Facebook and put in some basic settings. For example, you can
put in the title of this streaming, for
example, I can say, My Experience in
2023, the year 2023. And then you can put the
description regarding what this video is all about,
what you need to cover, and if there's any link or any document or any
correspondence, you can always put it
in the description. Okay, down here you have the video where you
can start streaming, where you can go live, but you have this
advanced settings, you can click on it and you have other options like
persistence, Stream Key. If you want to use
this stream Key consistently for other streams
that you're going to use, you can enable this
at the same time. And then you can have back up
stream in case of failure. And then this is a Sava link
that you are going to send to your followers or your students that want to
join this, your live stream. So you can copy this and
share with them directly. Okay, so this is about Video settings or Stream
settings as a whole. You can come over
here to the left. You have the option to choose where do you want
to post the video. At the end of it all,
you have the option to put it on your timeline or to post on a page that
you manage on your own or to a group
that you manage. You can do us post in any group. It has to be a group that
you are an admin on, right? For this tutorial, I want to
select Post on My Timeline. And then when do you
want to go Life? Is it now or is it later? If it is now, you
can select now. If it is later, you
can click on Later, and then you can define
the date and time. Okay, from here you can
select and define which date and which time
do you want to use. Then people with this link, you can just copy this
link and share with them. Once it is this date and time, they can click and they can join your live stream and
enjoy your videos. So this is about this,
but for this tutorial, I want to go live now. Who do you want to go live with? Is it the public
general or you want to go live with your friends or some friends except
some selected ones or specific friends
that you can define. Olim for this one, I want to go with Lime and I can just select and say, okay. Okay. So these are stream
settings. You have dashboard. If you want to view
your dashboard, you have a bunch of
other things that you can visualize from
the dashboard. Like the video, the event
logs and the insights, the metrics, stream metrics. You'll be able to have
access to all these. In addition, you can be able
to create poles from here. So you can add poles,
create a pole. Which color is Camtasia logo? Which color is Camtasia logo? Some can say it is white. We can say it is green. Only people who know Camtasia
can be able to tell us. We can add the
option and say red. Okay. But then we have
to choose the color. The correct one is green, so you can choose to make it the correct one. And
then you can add this. So you have a bunch
of other polls. These are recent polls that
I have inserted in my poll. This is for interactivity alone. And then you can
come all the way down here. This is a dashboard. You have other settings like the Stream Settings which you have talked about,
stream latency. You can see that at the
beginning I usually go with auto or normal depending if you want to have little interaction
with good auto. But if you want
to have very much interaction with the audience, it's better you go
with low latency. Okay, so then we can
have viewer settings, allow viewers to
rewind, which is good. Allow ton auto generated
captions, which is also good. It promotes engagement, even people that are not
in English countries. They can be able to watch and understand what you're
livestreaming about. And then allow users
to message you, which is okay at this moment
because it's interactive, so you can allow
users to message you. Down here you have
interactivity. We talk about interactivity in terms of polls and
the questions. You can always add
polls and you can see the pollings that are
available and questions. You can always add questions
and then the answers. Okay, So we've now set up everything we can now
come back to the home. All right, so let's go back
to live streaming set up. And this is our set up, so we can go back to OBS
to kick start streaming. Everything is now set
up so we can go back to OBS and then we can come
to start streaming. Now we can start streaming
live. Right now we are alive. You can see we are now sending connection to Facebook account. You can see everything. So
what we need to do is to come back to Facebook and then
we can click on Go Live. And now everything is going to get ready
to start going live. So this is a screen that we're going to be visualizing on. So right now we are alive.
Okay, you are now alive. So you can see, we can
see some stream metrics. And then we can be able to
see our video from here. Once we click Can start, there's a delay of
about 10 seconds. So you can between
what we have on the OBS and what is going
to show on the screen. So let's go back to our OBS. Let's say we want to
show this green screen, okay, on this green screen. And we can see it's
just this teacher explaining to these kids
about the benefits, for example, of doing exercise. So this is going to be
playing on our screen, but it's just going
to lack a little bit, maybe by about 10 seconds. So right now we are
alive so you can see. All right, so this is what
we have on OBS explaining. Okay, you can be able to add your comments also
directly from Pre. Okay. You can welcome everyone. Then you can send,
you can add MoGs, different types, you
can add Moges of different types depending on
what you are talking about. You can easily add any of them to promote
interaction. Okay? You have different kind of
things that you can add. All right. All right, so these are different kind of stickers that you
can easily add. So let's say welcome
everyone and just send in okay as a chart, so you can come back over here. Now one good thing about
OBS is that you can use the studio mode to vary the different scenes that you
want to send on the screen. So you can click on the
studio mode over here. And right now to
the left you have the preview mode, okay? This is what you preview before you send into the program. This is a live program,
so when I want to send, for example my screen
Dektop recording, I can just select it and
you can see it over here. I can change some things. I can vary the size.
I can add some text. But then before it goes live, I can do everything from here, add even other sources to this. But once I'm ready to go live, I can just hit on transit, or you can select on any of the transition settings and it's going to transit to that. So I use the slide and you
can see it's slides in. Now this is the one that we have showcasing
in the program. So it might take some seconds, but this is the
one that is going to be playing on our Facebook. So you can go back to Facebook and you can see right now we have that particular video
showing on our Facebook. So this is the beauty of OBS, it just quickly send it and then you can see the one that
you are previewing. Now you can preview
these kits and then at any point you can
send them over here. You can add a different
kind of slides, different kind of transitions. From here you can
see we have card, fade, swipe, and slide. Also you can select any, You can vary the
timing over here. You can vary the timing
it takes to slide in. All right? So you can send in anything we can
come to this other. And let's say we want to
add in this intro video. And once you click
on the transition, let's say slide in also. And then it's going to start. So this is going to
start is now live on our OBS and it's going to be
live on Facebook as well. So it just lags for
like 10 seconds, but then you can see
how it has just comes in and it's just going to
start as our life stuff. So you can see right
now, we can just go ahead and enjoy our interest. This is number nine and so on. This is a bunch of interest
that we have over here. But the key thing is
we learn how to go life on Facebook using OBS. So that's the power of it. You can always come back, you can always check your
performance over here. And if you're sating, you're committed and you come to
the end of the program, you want to stop the program. You can always come here
and say stop streaming. You can click to
stop the streaming. And you can stop the
studio mode also and go back to your normal
mode if you're interested. Okay, so let's say we are done. And then we can go back
to the Facebook as well. And we can now see that the
streaming has been stopped. Okay, so you can see your
life streaming has ended. This video will be
posted on your timeline. It may take some few minutes, but it is going to be
posted on your timeline. All right, to be visible by U. So these are the
statistics that we have, the inside the polls and the
stream metrics and so on. You can see we've gotten a
number of things over here. So right now you
can view the post, you can trim your video in
case if you want to edit it, you can go ahead and exercise
this to learn about this. And you can create a clip from this particular video
that you've created. You can create a
video clip directly. So these are things that
you can do and if you don't want to streaming you can
always delete the video, are returning to your news feed and kick start all over again. So I think this does it on
this tutorial on how to go live on Facebook using OBS. All right, I hope you
enjoy this video. In the next class, which is
going to be our last class, we're going to talk about some conclusions about this course. And then give you some
projects that you can work on your own to demonstrate
your understanding. So until next time,
thanks for watching, and I look forward to seeing
you in the next class, Bye.
13. Going Live on Facebook and YouTube: All right, so in this class we are going to learn how to go live on both Facebook
and Youtube using OBS. Okay? As we've
explained earlier, the first thing you need
to do when you want to go live streaming on
either Facebook or Youtube or both of them, is to start by coming to the settings over
here to just make sure you get it right in some of the basic things
you need to put in. So the first thing you need to do is to come to the settings. Once you're at the settings,
you can come to stream. Now you can check from the
services that you have. Like we've explained earlier, you have multiple ways to go
live, different platforms. You can even show all to see many more platforms that
you can go live on. You can go live on all
of these platforms. But for this tutorial,
for this class, we are going to go
live on the platform, in both cases,
Facebook and Youtube. So we can go to Facebook
Live, selected directly. Sava will keep a default. And then the Stream
Key, we have to copy the Stream Key which we
have shown how to copy it. You can come back
to your Facebook, then you can come to live video. You just select on Live video, you can come to live video
over here. You just click. And then you can
select on Good Life. This one, the first
one over here. So you can click on Good Life. Then you can go ahead
and set up all of the basic things that you
need to set up to kick start, like the live title, the title that you're
going to have, and other key details that
you're going to have. Now you have to select
a video source. Right now we want to
stream using the software, so we have to go with
the second option. Then we can put in the
title of the streaming. Okay, like we've
explained this one, we could just say
demonstrating the use of OBS. All right. You can put as many descriptions
as you want over here. You can describe anything, maybe the purpose of this video. You can put in if you have any link or anything that you want your followers or students to be able to click
and make use of, you can paste everything here. So this is the stream key
that we're talking about. You can just go
ahead and copy it. But then you have one thing
that you need to set up here, just like the way we
have shown previously. Choose where to go live. This is going to be on
your timeline. Of course. When are you going live? I want to say now and then. Who are going to be your
viewers at this moment? I want to select Li. Okay, so I want to just scroll
down and say li to this. And I can just save this, okay, because I'm not ready
to go live to anybody. So I'm going to copy
this stream key. This is the key that
I want to insert in my OBS like we've explained. You can come back to
OBS and then you can select over here and just
pest this particular key. You can get Stream
Key if you want. Then this will go directly and connect your OBS to
your Facebook account, which we have demonstrated
how to use it as well. But for now we have
tested our stream key. So the next thing is we can
go live on Facebook as well. Because this time around we want to go live on both of them, to go live on
Facebook, on Youtube. You can come to the
output over here. Now the settings you're going to put in here are very,
very important. So you can come to
simple output mode and select Advanced over here. So just pay attention.
The next thing is you can come to recording. And in this recording,
you can choose the custom output over here, make sure it is customer output. And then over here, you can
put in the output to URL, output this to a specific URL. You can select this,
and then the file path, or URL that you're
supposed to use. Now this is where you
define the file path. So pay attention and see where I get the file path
for our Youtube. So you can come back to your
Youtube page, for example, in this case I'm going
over here and you can come all the way
to this Srt button, this plus sign, you can go live. Just click on Go Live and
it's going to bring you over to this live
create or studio. Okay, over here, over here. You can still decide to
put in the title and the other features
that you need to kick start a live stream. Okay, so all of the details
demonetization options the title you can see, you can select and
can edit the title. You can have a specific
title if you want. Select and T testing of of
OBS software for example. So this is just a test
I Then you can put as many descriptions as
you want also over here. And once you're done,
you can just go ahead and check out
the other features. For example, how
do you want to go live and then visibility. I keep it all listed because I just want it to be
a limit category. If you want to put
in a category, if you have a specific
thumbnail, again, you can put all of these details just like the way
you do put when you are going live or when
you are publishing a video. If you have some tags as well, you can put them
because they will help you in the for SEO. Once you're done,
you can just go ahead and say safe to this and then you have
your title connected. Now the next thing is you
have to get in two things. The first one is
this stream URL. You can copy it over here. This first one, just pay
attention, We copy this. And then we'll go back to OBS. You come and select everything here and just pass
the stream URL. This one, you
passed it. And then you can come back to Youtube. All right, and then
this is the stream key. This is stream key.
This is a stream key. So you can just go ahead and
say copy the stream key. So you've copied two
things from Youtube. The first one is the stream
URL and then the Stream Key. So let me show you how you
pass the Stream key over here. So all you need is just to put the four slash and pass
the stream key over here. So just get the difference. So once you have
this, make sure you select this container
format to be MP four, which is 20064, okay? Then I keep everything at
default, the video bitrates, you can keep it 2000-6,
thousand is okay. So in this case I'm
selecting 25 and so on. So everything I keep at default. And then I can just come
over here and say Apply. And now all the
settings applied. Okay, So to start going live
on both of the platforms, I can just go ahead and
say start streaming. And you can see right
now you're going life. You can see right now you
started going live on Facebook. So you can go back and check. Okay, so let's go over here and you can
select and go live. All right, You're now saying
that you are now live. And you can click to start watching and everything
is now live. On your Facebook,
you're now live. You can see. All right, so you'll able to witness some things even though
there's a delay of 10 seconds. About 10 seconds,
but you should be able to see yourself
going live on this. You can see right now you
are live on Facebook, on Youtube as well. Let's go back to Youtube. Okay. So you can see you're live on both of
them at the moment. All right. So you can see
you are currently live on Facebook and still
streaming on Youtube. All right. I think
now you are live on both Facebook and Youtube. You can see we're live on
both of the platforms. I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for watching
and I look forward to seeing you in my next video.
