So the very first thing you want to do to be able to go ahead and stream
to Facebook gaming directly from obs is that you want to go ahead and
open up your Facebook gaming page.
If you don't have a Facebook gaming page, I went ahead and put a link in
the description to an article that walks you step by step on creating a
gaming video creator page so you can be able to go ahead and live stream.
So go ahead and follow along with that.
And then you can follow along with this video.
So once you have your page, you're gonna come to the left hand side and
you're gonna select Creator Studio.
This is gonna go ahead and bring us over to the dashboard inside of Facebook
for us to go ahead and get all the prepping done for our live stream.
So once that dashboard has become available, you're gonna
see here on the top right hand side, it's gonna say Go live.
You're gonna go ahead and click that, and that's gonna go ahead and bring us here
to another window where we're gonna go ahead and finalize and start the process.
So it's gonna ask you, do you want to go live?
Or do you wanna create a live video event?
We're gonna go ahead and select Go live.
Now, it's very important here at the bottom, it's gonna say, Create
a test broadcast before going live.
I highly recommend that you do this, especially for the first time.
That way you can fully go live without pushing it out to people and you can
test to make sure everything is good.
And then once you know everything is good, you can come back, uncheck this,
and then you'll be able to live stream directly through people can see you.
So I'm gonna go ahead and check that, and then I'm gonna go ahead and select.
That Z's gonna go ahead and bring us to a page here where we can start setting up
the live stream and putting in information that Facebook requires before you go live.
So you're gonna see an option, here's gonna say webcam and streaming software.
We're gonna select streaming software because we're gonna give this
information to obs so that way you can manage everything inside of wo Bs.
Have the overlay and everything that you need.
So you're gonna come down here where it says advanced settings.
This is gonna be very, I.
You're gonna wanna make sure that persistent stream key is toggled on.
What that simply means is that if you have persistent stream key on, you can use
the same stream key over and over again.
Every time that you go live, if you have it unchecked, what's gonna happen is that
every time you go live to Facebook, You're gonna have to grab the stream key and
put it inside of obs every single time.
So I don't recommend that.
So we're gonna make sure that's checked on.
Then on the right hand side, you're gonna see, here's gonna
say title and description.
Now you're gonna have to put a title in there for you to be
able to go ahead and go live.
So what I recommend is that you create a title that makes people want to
click, have some kind of curiosity in.
So that way people are like, Oh, wow.
And they check on your stream.
Then next you're gonna have to go ahead and put in your description.
Now in the description, what I like to put, so I like to tell your
viewers what your stream is about.
Place your social links and your DONNO links in there.
Then you can go ahead and input the game that you're gonna
be playing if you want to.
Um, and then what you want to do here is very important that you come down
here where it says, P set pin comment.
This is gonna be unchecked to start off with, but you wanna make sure this is
checked because what this is is a pin comment in your stream, meaning that no
matter how many comments come in, this one's gonna be all the way at the top.
And what I like to do is I like to go ahead and put my most
recent YouTube video in there.
So I put that YouTube video link in there.
You can put anything that you want here.
Um, and then go ahead and hit save.
So now that we have that set up, now what we wanna do is we want
to come to obs and have that open.
You're then gonna come here to where it says Settings inside of obs.
And this is gonna go and bring up the settings for obs.
Now you're gonna come on the left hand side and select stream.
Now where it says service, you're gonna click that and you're gonna
select Facebook Live the server.
You can leave it as default, and then what it's gonna ask you
for is gonna be your stream key.
So to be able to get your stream key, we're gonna come back to
Facebook and you're gonna see here where it says stream key.
Then we're gonna come back to obs.
You're gonna come in here and you're gonna go ahead and paste that stream key, and
then you're gonna go ahead and hit apply.
And you're gonna select, Okay, so the first step is done where we've
connected, uh, Facebook to obs.
Now we wanna make sure that the obs inside of, of the settings for obs are correct.
So that way your stream looks good on Facebook.
So you're gonna come here to the left hand side, you're gonna select output.
You're gonna go ahead and go to output mode.
You're gonna select Advance.
Then for the encoder, you're gonna select X 2 64.
For the rate control, you're gonna select cbr.
And then for the bid rate, you're gonna wanna put 6,000, 6,060 500
is the max that Facebook allows.
Now this is all gonna be dependent on your internet speed, so you wanna
make sure you go to speed test.net.
I'll put a link in the description of this video and you wanna go
ahead and test your internet and you wanna focus on your upload speed.
You want your elbow speed to be about 10 plus anything higher than 10.
Allows you to be able to go to 6,000, but what I recommend is typically about
half of what that upload speed is, so that way everything runs smoothly.
Then for key frame interval, you're gonna wanna put two seconds.
For CPU usage, you're gonna put very fast profile, you're gonna put high, and
for tune, you're gonna put zero latency.
So you're gonna select okay there.
And now what you want to do is you wanna go to the description of
this video and you wanna download.
Free PDF guide that I went ahead and created, which is called
the Ultimate Streamer Checklist.
This is gonna go ahead and tell you what to do before you go live.
All the prepping you need to do so you can have success when you are live,
what to do during your livestream, so that way you know how to get
people to follow you, to subscribe, to donate, to wanna keep coming back.
And then also, I tell you what to do after your live stream so
that way you can see the most.
How to promote your stream so that way people find you when you're offline.
So go into the description of this video and download that free guide.
So now that we have our settings ready, now what we want to do is we want
to go ahead and hit start streaming.
You're gonna say yes, and now what we're gonna do is we're
gonna come back to Facebook.
Now remember, once you hit start streaming there, that's not gonna push
your stream to Facebook just yet, right?
So this is just gonna.
That we've connected.
So if it is connected, you should see what you see inside of obs directly
in this window here as you see there.
Then here on the bottom left hand side, you're gonna see this's
gonna say start stream, right?
Start test now because we're testing, it says start test, meaning
that when I purchase button, it's gonna push it live, but I'm only
gonna be the only one to see it.
When you remove that test toggle that I told you in the.
This is gonna say start live stream.
Once you click that, that's gonna go ahead and push it live.
Now remember, you have to do this every single time.
You're not when you hit star streaming on ob.
You come back to Facebook and you hit star streaming and now
your stream is going to be live.
Now, if you want to go ahead and make your stream look professional and you
wanna have overlays on your Facebook stream, go ahead and watch this video
