Hello, my YouTube friends.
Today's video is sponsored by OWN3D, but I'll tell you about that
later.
There are a lot of people streaming on a laptop these days, and it's
really tough to stream with only one monitor, but monitors can be
really expensive.
So today I'm going to show you how to use an iPad, you already own as
a second monitor, totally free on PC or Mac.
So you know what?
Let's get to it.
Likes and comments are super easy things that you can do to help push
this video to a wider audience.
So take a second down below and let me know how I'm doing and hit that
subscribe button it's totally free.
And it really does help me continue to make content that helps you.
So we're going to need to install a couple of things.
The links are in the description, so you can download and follow
along.
So the first thing we're going to do is install, Splash top wired X
display.
And to do that, there is a link in the description for this page, and
we're going to click download for Mac or PC, whichever you're running
on, and you can go to your downloads to kick it off or click down here
in the bottom left.
And the installed just runs.
It's very simple when it's done it will automatically bring it up.
And the only thing we really have here to change is we can drop this
down and set these both to high for frame rate and quality.
And if we click here, you can see the monitor setup.
We don't have it connected yet.
So just my three monitors show up.
Next we're going to install iTunes.
And so we go to the webpage and we just click get from Microsoft.
If that's who we're getting it from.
And we click get, and right here, it opens Microsoft store and we can
just type up here in the search iTunes.
And we just click here to install it.
And a few moments later after what seems like any eternity for a small
program, we just click open.
It opens iTunes.
We just agreed to this and boom, we're all done.
iTunes is completely set up.
So the last thing that we have to do is set this up on our iPad.
So we're going to go into the app store and we're going to go ahead
and search for Splash top.
And the one that we want is Splash top wired X display right here.
We'll click on, get, it's going to ask you to scan your fingertip when
you're done, you can just click open on it and we're all ready to go.
When you start streaming, it can take forever to create overlays and
alerts and transitions and all the other things that go along with a
new stream, but today's sponsor OWN3D makes it so easy.
OWN3D as a website that offers anything a Twitch streamer could
possibly want on OWN3D.tv
there are thousands of overlay packs with alerts and stingers built in
as well as emotes and badges.
And like I said, just about everything you could want, but what really
excites me is the OWN3D pro site.
On OWN3D pro you download a plugin for OBS and in OBS, you can browse
and select from thousands of overlay packs that download and are set
up completely right out of the gate in OBS.
You can add alerts and labels and modify the text and even create
custom layouts in just a few minutes.
And they all have custom stingers that are set up with the profile.
So you don't have to do anything.
You just download them and they're ready to go.
In just a few minutes, you're going to have a professional stream that
looks like you spent a million bucks.
The best part is for just a few bucks a month.
And I mean less than that crappy Netflix subscription, you never use
anyways.
You're going to have access to every single one.
So you could change it up on every stream in just a few minutes, if
you really wanted to.
So take a second and check out OWN3D TV and OWN3D Pro down below,
there are links in the description for each one.
If you have the means to support the sponsors that support this
channel, it goes a long way towards helping me continue to make
content that helps you.
So thanks.
That's super cool.
So now let's get on with adding our iPad as a second monitor.
So, and you're just going to plug your iPad into the USB.
Now you may have to click trust computer on the iPad and stuff like
that, but that's really all you need to do.
As long as you have iTunes open and Splash top open on the PC and you
have Splash top open on the iPad and you connect the cable in a few
moments, you're going to see that your monitor just comes up and there
you go.
Pretty cool.
So if we go over here on the desktop, go to this button here, we can
see our displays.
We can click identify, and you can see that my iPad monitor is
identifying this monitor four.
Now I can just drag stuff right over to where it shows up in the
monitor diagram and put stuff on my iPad.
So this is the perfect place to put whatever second screen stuff you
want.
When you're live streaming, you could put your OBS here.
I think this is a great place to put OBS on your second monitor.
So you can just kind of monitor what's going on.
And on your other monitor, you can have the stream up from YouTube, or
you can be capturing a desktop or something like that, if you're doing
a demo or possibly even a game, depending upon how you want to do it.
And if you're trying a game on your laptop, having a two monitor setup
is really, really important.
This is a really easy way to do it with equipment that you already
have.
You can play the game on the regular laptop monitor and monitor the
stream over on the iPad monitor.
Really, really simple, cool, and easy.
And of course, when you're finished, you probably want to drag all of
this stuff off the other monitor just in case, cause you don't want
something accidentally getting stuck over there and being weird.
But when you do that, there you go.
Now you have your iPad working as a second monitor on the PC.
Free and easy.
