Live streaming is all about connecting with your viewers, and that's where
a just chatting scene comes in handy.
Because it's a scene you can switch to where you are, the focus, your camera's
big, and it's an opportunity for you to connect one-on-one with your community.
So in today's video, I'm gonna show you how to set up a just chatting
scene directly inside of OBS studio.
Let's go ahead and dive in.
So the first thing you're gonna want to do is you're gonna
wanna have OBS studio open.
We're gonna come to the scenes and we're gonna select.
You're gonna name this, just chatting, you're gonna press okay, and that's
gonna go ahead and give us a new scene.
Now under sources, this is where we're gonna want to go ahead and
add our just chatting overlay.
Now if you don't have a just Chatting overlay, you can go
ahead and go to StreamDesignz.com where they have tons of overlays.
You can go ahead and utilize.
I'm gonna go ahead and utilize the package Lux that's what you see in my OBS studio.
Now, as you can see here, that in that package, they have a
just chatting screen, right?
Then I'm gonna be able to go ahead and utilize, but you can go ahead and get an
overlay from anywhere that you may like.
So once you have your overlay, you're gonna press sources.
You're gonna press the plus icon.
We're gonna name this a media source, because this is gonna be
an animated just chatting screen.
If it's non-animated, you would select Image to be able to bring in the file.
So I'm gonna select Media Source.
I'm gonna name this chatting.
I'm gonna press, okay, and now it's gonna ask me to go ahead and locate that file.
So I'm gonna hit Browse and that's gonna go ahead and bring me over to where I
downloaded that file from Stream Designz.
Initially it's gonna come as a zip file.
You can see how the zip file, I'm not able to click.
So you have to unzip it to be able to create a folder for
you to be able to utilize it.
And if you never unzipped a file before, you can just simply go to
Google, type in for Mac or Windows, how to unzip a file, and then file the.
Which is gonna go ahead and give us this folder here.
Animated stream Overlay package, and it's gonna have panels, alerts
overlay screens, and webcam.
Overlays.
We're gonna come to where it says overlay screens, and here you're gonna
see, there's gonna be just chatting.
You're gonna hit open, you are gonna wanna select loops so that
the animation keeps playing.
No matter how long you're on this.
Scene and then you press, okay, now you're gonna see it that we have our initial
scene in the middle is where your webcam's gonna be and the top right's where your
gameplay is gonna be, and the bottom right's where your chat's going to be.
So the first thing we wanna do is you wanna go ahead and lock it.
That way this doesn't actually move.
So the first thing we wanna go ahead and add is gonna be our gameplay.
So to be able to add your gameplay, two ways to be able to do.
If you are using a capture card, you're gonna use video capture device.
If you are gaming directly on your computer, you're
going to use screen capture.
So let me show you the screen capture option first.
So when you come to screen capture, you can name this screen
capture, you'll press okay.
And then display capture.
What you're gonna wanna do is you're gonna wanna do application
capture, and then once you do that under application, you are gonna
select the game that you're playing.
So that's the only thing that shows up.
And then you can go ahead and follow along.
For this example, I'm gonna go ahead and utilize a capture card.
So I'm gonna press plus, I'm gonna kind of video capture device.
I'm gonna name this capture card.
Okay, I am gonna press okay, and then I'm gonna go ahead and select my device
and my capture card is the HD 60 X.
You're gonna see here that my game is now showing.
I'm gonna go ahead and press okay, but now the game is full screen.
So what I wanna do is I wanna go ahead and resize this small enough.
To be able to place it in this box.
And once you do that, then you can go ahead and what you want to do is
you want to grab the capture card and you actually wanna put it under
the, just chatting that way, the borders, it looks nice around this.
This is where great way to be able to switch to the scene in between games
and between matches where they can still see the gameplay at the top.
But the focus is on you.
So now that we have that in place, we'll go ahead and lock that.
So now our gameplay is there.
You can see here, we can move it.
Now let's go ahead and add your webcam.
So now we wanna go ahead and hit the plus icon.
And again, this is gonna be a video capture device.
Whether the camera's plugged in directly to your computer, it's a
webcam or an actual physical camera.
I'm gonna use the cam.
I'm gonna name this camera, I'm gonna press, okay.
And now for my device, I'm utilizing an actual DSLR camera.
So I'm utilizing the cam.
Which lets my computer know that it's a webcam, so I'm gonna use the cam link.
You're gonna see that I now appear, I'm gonna press okay.
But you can see here that now I'm out of frame.
So quick way to fix this is to right click, come to
transform and hit fit to screen.
Now you can see here that I'm in position.
So again, we wanna grab the corner, we wanna resize this, and I want to
place myself just around this border.
Just enough to be able to go ahead and be seen.
So what I want to do is the same thing.
I want to grab my camera and I wanna bring it under the just chatting scene.
So that way now I have borders around me covering me.
So now this is what the just chatting looks like.
So I'm gonna hit enter, and then I'm gonna lock it.
And then now you can see that under my webcam, this is where
my stream label comes in.
And now on the bottom.
This is where we're gonna place our chat, so to be able to go ahead and
learn how to go ahead and set up your chat for your just chatting scene and
any other scene in OBS studio, go ahead and watch this video right here where I
walk you step by step on how to setting up a chat and making it transparent
so that it looks good on stream.
I'll see you guys the next video.
