hello everyone
so super nervous super excited though to
present
on recording presentations using obs and
youtube it's a cool way to put yourself
on youtube it's cool way to educate
others and uh kind of gonna do that now
to show
everyone from start to finish to install
to youtube how to do obs
and uh take that recording and put it on
youtube
i'm getting ahead of myself
that's for later
go ahead and exit out of that
so i have instructions actually on how
to get started i want to go over some
system requirements for
obs this is obs setup and settings
and so obs is available on windows mac
and linux it's amazing it's on all three
it works well in all three
it does require directx 10 compatible
integrated graphics and so it's a it's a
more modern
cpu type thing
and so like that basically is like intel
i5 2000 series or higher it uses open
gpl on linux
and so i had an old laptop i actually
couldn't use because uh it was a core 2
duo laptop and it's just too old and so
it's almost kind of it's not really a i
use it for open source development so
i'll still use it but uh this laptop
does obs quite well
new like a little
joe system recommendations
it's hard to find hard specific
requirements for obs online but
basically news better than old kind of a
given
gaming or business laptop is generally
better because of the heatsinks than
ultrabook and so this is an ultrabook so
if i were to play you know battlefield 1
and do obs at the same time this one's
going to be screaming just it's like
as it tries to cool it down which is
really kind of distracting for the
microphone
so if you have a gaming laptop or
business laptops better but for what i'm
doing it's going to be fine
because i'm just doing a presentation
and so mo ram mo better and so i got a
little picture of a ram there if you can
see it
it is optimized for windows and so if
you're on windows you're in luck
there's a lot of streamers online a lot
of people recording content online that
are on windows
and you get quite a bit less cpu usage
on windows and linux is getting better
every day and
it's developed for all of them
so pre-setup you want to change your
resolution in 1920x1080
or
1280x720 basically the hd resolutions
and the reason i say that i'm currently
on 720. this is a 4k
monitor on this laptop and for obs to
have to scale from 4 4k
to
1080 or 720 on the fly is a little bit
too intensive for it and so um the the
cpu unless you're on a gaming laptop or
a business laptop that has a you know
like a good heat sink then um it's it's
going to struggle a little bit so i like
720 because if you're doing a
presentation if you're if you're showing
windows like i'm going to be showing you
they're going to be easier to see
so the first thing we need to do is
download obs we're going to do this live
guys
uh done done done
click on windows
um
and so here's this is a 64-bit installer
which is what you want to do most of the
time here's 32-bit we're going to do the
64.
it's going to download it oh
that's not too bad
but i'm going to cancel on my cheat
i already have obs
downloaded
should
right there
yes
all right
so a missing component so what those
components are talking about real quick
is it once you have the visual studio c
c plus plus library included
and so if you don't already have that
installed i uninstalled it before the
presentation then it will trigger that
message
um so let's go ahead and install them so
that should be pretty quick
oh did that work
oh yeah so i need to click here
there we go that's a lot faster it's
much smaller
open that bad boy up
if you've already been using obs this
might sound a little bit uh
too involved but i do want to have
basically a presentation that covers the
whole aspect of it so set up successful
all right
and so i'm to i think i'm going to run
the exe again
there we go
i agree
we're going to install it to program
files obs studio
um
browser source that's a good one to have
all right let's just go and install it
so basically it's next next next
all right we're going to launch obs
studio
okay and we're in
oh
i kept all my settings okay hold on give
me one second
and i'm going to actually
go to projects joe
uh app data roaming i'm gonna actually
start completely fresh here
for the benefit of learning
it's gonna take one second so quit out
of obs uh delete my this isn't joe app
data roaming uh my name is joe by the
way
i think we covered that all right and so
open up obs studio again
all right now we're starting fresh and
so here's a license agreement
saying it has the
gnu
general public license which is a very
good thing i'll go over that a little
later that means it's open source anyone
can uh contribute to it
all right
and then it pops up would you like to
run the auto configuration wizard yes i
would
um
it's kind of a sanity check hit yes
and so it says optimize for streaming
recording and secondary that's a if you
are going to be streaming that's a good
way to do that if you do do this option
see if i go next
next again yeah it's going to want you
to enter your stream key you can change
your streaming service here
we're not going to go into that
we're just going to do optimize for
recording i will not be streaming you
can always run the wizard again
all right and so the base canvas
resolution if i was on 1080p
i'd want to select 1080p from here
since i am on 720p
then i want to use 720 as my canvas the
canvas is basically where you're going
to put all of your
webcam and
twitter information for example
so frames per second i go with 30. 30 is
plenty for a demonstration 30 is plenty
for twitch if you want to stream to
twitch 60 is kind of a little extreme it
requires a lot more processing also
requires a lot more bandwidth if you're
streaming i do 30.
hit next apply settings and we're almost
good to go
so
we did we installed visual studio um
basically obs redirected us to their
site we downloaded the file we installed
it we restarted the installation that
worked all right one thing i do want to
point out is uh
so
once you start working with obs you may
notice things are not working correctly
this is a quick
uh this is a quick kind of like gotcha
if you have nvidia graphics on your card
you might need to check your settings
and we're going to go through that real
quick so i'm going to hit the windows
key do control panel
i'm going to go to hardware and sound
and then nvidia control panel
and so
once this pops up
it's going to allow me to go over to
program settings over here
and it should automatically pull it up
since i'm using it yep
and so where the open broadcaster
software is open
and sometimes it's set to a high
performance nvidia processor we want to
make sure it's on integrated graphics
and that's all you got to do
it was already set to integrated
graphics i'll go ahead and apply
i don't know if that's going to mess
anything up all right we're good
and that'll make sure everything runs
smoothly
all right
so let's see what's next
we did the auto configuration wizard by
the way to get back to that you just go
to tools
auto configuration wizard you can set up
streaming later
they do have auto configuration wizard
and thankfully they do because obs
settings can get intense very intense
all right so we set the canvas we set 30
frames per second we need to set the
record path i do recommend that
to do that you go to file
settings
and we go down to uh
outputs
and then we do recording path
and it's set to joe or c users joe
videos that's a good spot so i'm going
to leave it
but it's good to do that
just make sure the videos are going to
where you expect
hello hello
just getting started we basically
installed obs at this point and uh
doing very basic settings
all right and so let's add a background
i add a background just so you have a
good contrast and so here we have a
scene the default scene name is scene
and we want to start adding sources so i
need to resize this so we can see it
better
all right and so uh here are the sources
we want to add a new source
and that new source is going to be image
let's go and name it oh
let's go it's good to name things so
we're going to name this background
and that way the source has a name that
makes sense i'm going to browse for
background go to obs
i have this cool little circuit board
background
i'm going to click ok
and oh you can see that
it's not scaled well and so the simple
way to get that because this is a 1080p
image or grader i think is you can
actually just move it like that a little
laborious
but uh that's what i'm basically going
to do right there
and so that's the new background
all right and so we want to add a webcam
get into the juicy juice
and so this is what the advantage of obs
over over over other screen recording
software you actually do the webcam
it's going to do video capture device
and we're going to call this internal
webcam
awesome
there we go hello
how'd it do
add that in there that's huge i'm going
to scale it down and do it the same way
i did that
pop it over here
and bam
uh this works in a pinch i don't
recommend it i do recommend getting a
dedicated webcam that's what this is
here i don't know if i can show it here
i might show it better but there you go
i can do this all in
so this is a uh
so this is a logitech uh webcam i don't
remember the model number but basically
it's like a transformer
you can like unfold it
turn it around and it has like a little
hook here
it's kind of like the playstation camera
if you've ever seen those
and then it just basically hooks onto
the monitor
like that i'm going to cover the
existing webcam because we're no longer
going to use it
what i really like about these is kind
of all in one streaming
booster and the main advantage
for me
is that it puts the microphone
further away from the fan on the
computer further away from the keyboard
on the computer
and it makes it makes for clearer audio
the picture
i think is a little bit better
but it depends on your computer but if
you have an older computer it definitely
can help
plug it in
and so i've already plugged it in but
windows would normally be like
installing drivers and once that's done
we're gonna remove this webcam
and that and the webcam disappeared just
because i put the other webcam on top of
it so
we're gonna do a video capture device
again we're gonna call this a logitech
webcam
there we go
bam it bam there i am adjust the camera
a bit
my handsome double
all right click ok
and this looks kind of boring
honestly the square has been done
square has been done
and so i'm going to guess this is a 4x3
ratio and we're going to create our
first mask guys obs is all about masks
and so i think that's the next step
create and add a mask so here's better
use better to use a dedicated webcam i
might
let's let's make a mask
and so i'm just going to jump right into
it it's kind of hard to explain but
masking is basically setting up an image
to allow you to crop another image to
almost any shape and so we're going to
go straight to paint
you better use photoshop krita
anything like that over paint but i love
paint you know goes back to the windows
95
or was it 98 i don't remember
all right so let's go and resize it
i'm going to do pixels
i'm going to do 640 by 480
oh
oh yeah maintain aspect ratio let's get
out of there get out of there
640
or 480.
all right and then i'm going to click
back on maintain aspect ratio nope
god i had to click ok
live demonstration
click ok
i recommend going bigger
and the reason so now set back to
percent i'm going to go 200 percent
make it bigger that's because the pixels
are going to be sharper here in a second
let me make it a lot smaller by going
down to the zoom over here
all right and so we're going to do
something cute
we're going to do a little uh played
around with this i really like paint
because you have these free shapes here
say free everything should be free but
so here we got this shape
and i am going to set it to solid fill
outline no outline we don't want to
outline and then we're going to take uh
the shape
we're going to drag it it should be
white yeah it's white
and then
i'm just going to go ahead and fill the
screen with it
okay
and make sure it's centered
i also want to make sure it's kind of a
circle
okay
good enough definition of done right
there
to save as it's going to be a png
spoil alert
another mask up there
all right
so png and we're going to call it oh
bubble mask obvious
no what is that what is this thought
bubble
be more specific thought bubble
i'm in the weeds let's get out of the
weeds all right save
okay
and so uh got the logitech webcam here
uh and we want to apply that mask and so
what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna right
click on this
i'm gonna go to filters
and uh and add us at these resolutions
you're fighting with obs a little bit on
what the windows are doing so i'm going
to move this down
you'll see me do this a lot
so that gives me access to edit filters
i'm going to add a filter
and we want to do image mask blend
we're going to call this thought bubble
just so we know what it is
okay
we're there
all right we want to select the path of
the mask browse i already have it set up
it's in this obs folder right here that
i set up
click it and bada bing bada boom webcam
is a thought bubble now
all right
so
uh
also it's pretty good right now
i wanted to show you a little trick
and this i think i did mark this down so
you can uh crop and pad
which is another filter you can apply to
zoom the webcam image so when you do a
webcam sometimes it'll appear far away
especially on ones built into the
computer so we're going to do that right
now we're going to crop pad
pretty easy i'm gonna call this zoom
instead of crop pad so we know what it's
doing
all right and this is just simply
adding numbers to all of them and so i'm
gonna do 15 15 15 15.
oh no we got some clipping up here
that's not great so the more numbers you
do the more it zooms so all we have to
do is move zoom above this
and then we have a perfectly zoomed uh
webcam image oh it doesn't look like we
need zoom we're gonna get rid of it
close that
all right
and so i'm a big fan of uh making sure
contrasts are great uh the contrast
around the rim is not very good we're
gonna make a border and we're gonna make
a border using the same mask we just
used
uh so we're gonna add an image
we're going to call this a
webcam border
and this is kind of a hacky way to do it
but we'll do it real quick put the
thought bubble back in there
awesome
click okay
all right and then we need to apply some
filters to this to make it just a solid
white circle
so
uh filters
oh yeah scroll down cache
move it back up
and then we're going to apply the color
key filter
so do this color key
there we go
um
i could have named that better but
anyways do a custom color
i'm gonna do black
alright now we just have a basically a
white box in the same shape i'm going to
change the color just a little bit
wrong color forgot about that
okay i want to change the color of it
just a little bit because there's going
to be a white presentation so it's just
going to disappear so i'm going to do
color correction
i think i want to do that afterwards so
i've moved it up
select color
gray
all right and then
is it brightness
what's going on here oh yeah
okay brightness yeah so it color
correction needs to be below so we're
making a little bit more gray i'm
actually using saturation here
i think it'll get it closer to the color
it says
anyways
now all we're gonna do
is not that
not that at all
so that'll happen a lot and how i get
around that
uh is i will lock it down
you're locked down now you can't move
all right
and this is just kind of a cheeky way to
do a border
but it allows you to uh kind of
someone put the webcam above it
and
and then i want to link these together
so click this click this move this up
move it there
i'm going to lock these together by
right clicking
and then hit where is it at group
selected items
and now we have a webcam and a border
hooray i think it makes it look more
professional for sure
all right
moving on
so the next step i know it's a little
bit laborious guys
but it does help
add a little professionalism and it kind
of shows you how to use masks and some
other key elements we're going to create
some twitter art
let's add that
we're going to do an image first we're
going to call it twitter logo
i got this logo off to twitter site
you can download assets
from them
this is the round social media icon open
that
all right pretty big we're gonna make it
smaller
a lot smaller
oh that big is good
put it down here
all right and then we're going to make a
uh my twitter tag is at joe matthews okc
we're going to do that now
and this is this next step
so we're gonna we're gonna add text
we're gonna change the font size to be
huge and that way we get sharper uh
edges and then we'll scale it down and
then we're gonna add a outline which is
really only available in windows i try
testing it and it might work in on mac
but it doesn't work on linux yet you
might need to add something to it to
make it work
to explain what's going on there i'm
just going to call this at
joe matthews
okc
i think i spelled that right i'm also
going to copy that
i'm about to type it again we've got
text
select font
i'm just going to do 72
so it makes it sharper
all right i think ariel's fine
go fancy if you want
and so uh
don't need to change anything here
i think the color is fine for right now
the background color i think that's fine
it's it's just clear
and so
what we want is oop alignment go back is
it left okay
outline we're going to click that
and then we're going to change the color
i need to kind of find the twitter logo
so we're going to change the outline
color and we're going to make it the
same as the twitter logo
so how i did that again is i select
color on outline so outline all in color
select color
pick color
and then i just uh
do it again
let's hover over the twitter kind of
like right in the middle
bada bing bada boom
and then so here it is it doesn't look
that great so let's increase the outline
let's do
let's do five
nope let's do more
let's go more
30
oh 30.
well not let me do 30.
rip off
20 is the highest 20 is enough though
that looks good kind of looks like a red
bubble sticker if you ever bought those
i gave that analogy earlier crickets i
like red bubble
all right
so we're going to resize this
boom this will look a lot sharper on
youtube
it's scaling down the image
and then i'm hitting control so it's
wanted to snap this thing so it'll snap
it a snap everywhere but i want it to be
in the middle of the twitter logo
so i'm going to hold ctrl and kind of
just wing it
and then i'm going to join these two
together
so how i do that is you can either do it
here or on the
screen itself hit control on both of
them
so like control click control click
right click
and then
i already lost it
can i not put these together group
let's try it over here twitter logo
group selected items okay i guess you
have to do it rare
now these are together now you can scale
them they'll scale together
uh it's your own personal logo you could
make this in uh
in in and photoshop and krita and
have a transparent background have the
same effect
this is just kind of a way to do it in
text
and also to show you how text works
anyways
so i think we're about done we need to
add one more source which is the big one
which is the record the screen
and so
we don't need to hide the background
it's going to be in memory anyway so
we're just going to do plus
and then we're going to do
display capture i did want to point out
one one other capture
which is a good one windows capture
let's go over that first we're not going
to use it
so windows capture i'm going to call it
chrome only
and this is a good way to kind of keep
your privacy you know i like i think i
closed everything before i came up here
but if you're all tabbing and there's
like messaging conversations up or
whatever then they're gonna see it but
this can be the window only that you're
looking at so do chrome only
and then
that looks like a lot of gobbledygook so
we need to find chrome
eventually found it here and sometimes
you'll see more than one dot exe look
for the one that has the title you want
oh no why is that not working
oh i know why it's not working
god
i don't know why that's not working
i'm going to have to troubleshoot that
later
oh let me check let me check the setting
settings
i don't think this will have anything to
do with it
oh okay so this sorry i'll show you
where i went with the file
settings
i went to output
and here you have an encoder setting so
this is under recording an encoder this
actually needs to be software it
actually can be a hardware in e
v e nc not a lot of gamers use that
it's probably 10 20 faster
on your computer
but i got an error that
i needed to update the drivers and so
i'm just going to use software and i
don't have an ok button so i'm going to
scroll it down
click apply click ok i don't know if
that's why i'm not saying that so let me
try
getting a little nervous get rid of
chrome only
i'm going to just do straight to display
capture but that's how you would capture
just one window
hopefully this works
every
window
oh no it's the inception
inception and so um this is kind of the
most awful thing to see
and you'll see it a lot in almost every
almost every uh obs like if someone
switches back to obs while they're
streaming you'll see this it's kind of
disorienting but it's just showing a
mirror effect because it is recording
within recording so
uh we just click ok
really annoying want to get out of here
as soon as we can but what happened to
all our stuff uh it's actually this
floated the window to the top and so we
need to on the sources list move this
down so click the down arrow
and stuff starts popping back up oh too
far
all right
is that exciting guys
so far so good
all right
so uh we'll get into the meat and
potatoes a little bit
and so the presentation itself is to go
full on we're going to set up obs which
we just just did we're going to record a
presentation which is going to be pretty
short and then we're going to upload
that to youtube
and i might do another talk later where
i go advanced obs stuff as i learn more
um
but we do have some bonus things at the
end to keep in mind
um not gonna do the browser one but
basically we're gonna do we are gonna
add spotify so we're going to add album
art to obs and i'll show you how to do
that using masks
getting back to the good stuff
and so i'm going to start the recording
and no errors which is good
and so it shows stop recording now
and so we're going to go back to chrome
did not mean to close it all the way
down i don't think
go back to my slides
here's the presentation you saw before
it's a little bit tongue-in-cheek this
is kind of meant to be fast
and the main content of what you're
learning is supposed to be in the actual
demonstration itself
and so here we go recording
presentations using obs and youtube
and so what is obs
obs stands for open broadcaster software
it's created by hugh jim bailey and many
contributors a lot of people have helped
out on this
the first release was in september 2012.
there's presets for streaming to twitch
youtube instagram facebook and others
it's open source software so that means
anyone can contribute to it anyone can
make it better
it's probably going to be free forever
and it's uh licensed to gnu gpl v2
that's a general public license
and that means that if anyone improves
it they have to contribute the code back
to the the main repository and make that
code available
or they don't have to contribute back
they have to make it available
so it's a really good thing it's
community driven software
and it is the number one software for
streaming uh it's also very popular for
recording screens because the ability to
add webcams and control audio and just
the amount of settings you can do you
can control everything on it i was
telling other people if you can see it
on your computer you can put it on your
stream
so that alternatives to obs
a little troll move here
they probably have 99
market share and they don't charge a
dime and so um i wouldn't recommend
using anything else i'm not going to
tell you to use anything else
i'm not going to mention names that's
because that's how much i love obs
i showed you a little bit with masks you
can do a lot with masks and you can do a
lot with browser
integration too that's how you get the
magical pop pop up on the screens when
you're watching twitch well we'll get to
that
but i will show you how to
use mask to get
spotify on there using uh
non-copyrighted music of course
right kimberly right
all right
and so
the actual the like this is going on
youtube uh but this is going on youtube
after what we're actually recording
right now so it's a little bit of
recording inception
um so my detailed obs setup presentation
for obs oh man i've repeated obs yes
it's embarrassing it's coming soon to
youtube
the presentation is actually created
right now during that presentation from
the future that's a little hard to
explain but everything you're seeing me
doing right now is going to be the
second video in the series we're about
to upload the first which is this
presentation that i hit start recording
on
i created a logo for part two because
like back to the future marty mcfly is
visiting himself at the the dance
it's pretty cool
so what is youtube
i know what youtube is everyone's saying
why is youtube important you know but
why record presentations why add content
for me personally it's kind of a
personal thing youtube has been very
powerful for me i've learned excel i've
learned programming learned a lot of
things that you'd expect me to learn in
my profession but also i learned how to
stain concrete in my new house i learned
how to repair a leaky bathtub i didn't
think i could do that
i learned how to paint a house the right
way you actually have to clean it with
soap
that way the paint doesn't peel off it's
on there like it's on there hardcore now
and etc i've learned a lot of things i
don't necessarily think i could do
better videos than that what i can do is
do
programming videos i can do obs videos
and this is kind of my first video to
youtube
promote yourself you know show what
you've what you're good at what you've
made
um
you know uh show your communication
skills to your new employer
um
show uh show what you're worth to a
little bit give back that's the kind of
thing it's like i can i can do i can't
do a lot of videos but i can do an obs
video
um and also learn better so this is kind
of like the last minute ad here but it
but it's important me me doing this like
i would consider myself like you know
like a mid-tier you know wizard as far
as obs goes
i think i could figure out a lot of
things using masks and using web
to get almost anything to work
but just making this presentation i had
to kind of re-clarify some conceptions i
had some misconceptions things didn't
work as i expected them to so putting
this all together i learned obs better
and so putting a presentation together
alone
may help you learn it better
and of course since this is being seen
on youtube like comment and subscribe
please
all right that's the last slide from
there i'm gonna go and click back off
hit stop recording
all right and so
what's next
so we recorded we click the the start
recording button do the presentation
click the stop recording button i wanted
to add one more thing because i'm all
about being transparent about hang ups
here let's get rid of this inception
thing going on here
it's really trippy all right
so if we go to settings and so if you
try to do start present or start
recording and you get an error
the error might be caused by what i
checked earlier so if you go to out
output
go to encoder
uh you might try software encoder
because the error might be about ndv
what does that say
nvenc
all right
so what's the next step
all right let's upload it to youtube
sounds reasonable
all right let me close this out
i'm going to go to youtube
and i did a teaser video before i
actually did a lot of teaser videos only
one
got chosen
i'm going to my channel
i'm very new to youtube and uploading
videos so i just did youtube studio over
here on the right
there's probably people in here that are
masters at youtube and let's talk
let's connect
and then
uh
dashboard
no
videos
plus
uploads
oh man so before i just had a big fat
upload new video
if anyone wants to bail me out
how do i upload a new video
right here
let's do it
yes
the icon was obvious all right and so
i'm just gonna go
nope i'm gonna do uh private
that's because we need to trim it
and so i set it to go to videos
oh so many videos i'm going to sort by
date real quick
237 it's about right
open
all right title
oh
so
recording
presentations
with obs
and i'll do a regular hand youtube
part one
all right
here i
give an introduction to youtube or to
obs
and youtube
uh
part
two
will give the details
on how
i created
this presentation
oh i think it's done
oh processing 95. okay i'm gonna go
ahead and click click done
all right
so
return to youtube studio beta
okay i want to go to
click on
one of my videos
here we go
click on this
there we go editor
so editor allow you to trim the
beginning and the end of a video
and we're going to do that to make this
a little bit more professional
here you can zoom to uh to get more of a
timeline so you can fine tune it a
little bit better
so right
oh we have to hit trim so it's hit trim
right about here
i think
okay
and then
uh
did it automatically trim it what
happened here
do i need to scroll
oh let's zoom out
okay okay
there we go
all right
trim split cancel
i would expect me to do a preview
oh
from there i'm gonna go click back off
stop recording
okay
why is this not working anyone know any
professionals
oh because i didn't do any trimming
oh
okay
i swear i did
okay
i think that's about good right there
okay
preview
and we're going to listen to this
i'm joking
so what is
does that really just happen what
happened
so what is
so that's going to cook
and that is basically how to do all of
what i promised to do on that
presentation
and so with that you can uh record
almost anything
you could
play a video in the background record
yourself commentating on that a lot of
stuff you can do um including uh gaming
and so if you want to do gaming the only
real difference is you plug in a twitch
key
into uh obs settings go through that uh
go through that uh
the the getting started
it's not tutorial
but a section at the twitch key
um that's almost concludes my
presentation
i wanted to show you spotify i'll need
to show you uh using browser stuff later
so browser stuff is the real powerful
stuff but uh one thing i ran into
i was telling some as i walked into the
uh walked into the presentation here i
wanted to be a counter-strike star you
know i wanted to kill nubs uh on the
internets um and do it on twitch so i
learned a lot of obs uh to to do good
production value for that and one of the
things i really wanted
was to add
a spotify
like album art and song playing
to the stream
i'm sure there's ways to do that are
very hacky
using apis and stuff like that
but i did find a way to use you know
along the principles if you can see it
you can add it and so i created a mask
for spotify
and so
whoa
not that mask
so if i open up spotify here
all right
and uh one thing i did to try to find
good music to play because if you play
music just as a normal user
they will mute your entire um broadcast
that's recorded
and
and also i think you're held to a higher
standard if you're educational source
they might send you a message be like
don't do that
and so they're basically looking for
copyrighted music
i think it's very much a slap on a wrist
now but it's always good to just not
mess with it
and so i type in twitch fm here
and that brings up this profile i don't
know if it's official or not but it does
have i've seen this before the the no
copyright sounds which is a group that
puts out music for people
uh and anyone can play it
and so
[Music]
um most of the album art's the same
which is unfortunate
so you can find one that's different
i don't think it's actually changing
anyway so let's try starbound
wait a minute
i think they're all the same oh there's
one yay
okay
and so i wanted to show you the changing
of artwork so i wanted to basically get
this out of spotify and put it into my
uh into my twitch or into my obs you can
do this during a presentation if you
wanted to uh that you just record and
not stream
and so
i'll leave this chill music play in the
background turn it down a little bit
[Music]
all right
and so what we're gonna do
is we're actually going to use a mask
and so hopefully this will work it was a
little finicky earlier we're gonna do
window capture again
uh we're gonna name this spotify
okay
and then we're gonna go down and choose
spotify
so here we go lars them over i think
that's the song that's playing choose
that yeah it popped up
so i'm gonna grab this
and so what i actually did is gonna add
that
that's just going to pop over
it is 720p so it takes a full screen
and so
uh it's up here at the top i'm going to
do filters
and so uh we're gonna add a filter add a
mask again just like we did for the
webcam
all right let's show you what this mask
is i made this in paint as well to make
sure i can do it but basically i took a
screenshot i'll just do it right now
screenshot
and then paint
i'm not gonna actually do the mask
because it's gonna be a little
challenging paste this in here
and basically i added a white box
i said i'm not gonna do it but here it
goes
and then i just uh
went over it with the white box
all right and then uh
uh i colored all this black to show you
real quick how that happened but i did i
zoomed in to try to make it pixel
perfect as i can get them kind of like
that i colored everything black around
it
so just double click make sure it's like
that's not really black that sort of
thing and then you just take this black
thing
and i said i wasn't gonna do it but i'm
actually doing it
all right
uh all right so
oh my gosh i clicked you
why won't that work
it doesn't select it
anyways you change it to black as the uh
the box and you just highlight it all to
get it all out of there you do you also
have to remove this bottom bar because
it does not include an obs so all i did
was do is drag that out
there you go look at all this black and
that turns into
this is a 720p
basically uh obs
mask for spotify
drags on me
and so we go browse
click that
and then all it gets the album artwork
for close
i'm gonna go drag that to the side over
here
and just to show you i'm going to use my
keyboard to change album
and so if i do uh for me i have to
function the next song
it changes the album and it shows who's
playing below that'll look a lot sharper
on stream
all right so
did i close my presentation
and so that i think concludes my
presentation on how to use obs
to
record
your presentation and upload it to
youtube um i'd like to go more in depth
on certain topics it gets pretty
technical at some point um but i'd be
very curious to hear what you all think
you can do joe matthews okc on twitter
let me know what you
what you'd like to try and i can maybe
figure it out with you
other than that any questions
any hey
can people share filters
so you're talking about taking like that
spotify and kind of exporting that
and so one way to do that and this is
new
i believe it's new or else i missed it
the first time is if i wanted to extract
all this i'm kind of doing this live
with you because i just found out about
it if you do tools
okay hey calm down
[Music]
but if you do tools
and then you do
tools scene there we go scene collection
and then uh we have a untitled can i do
save as i can't do save as why is it
untitled if you can't save it um i guess
you can do new and then you name it
anyway so i'm on untitled right now i do
export
and then i put that anywhere i want to
put an obs i already did it right here
i can call this presentation scenes
okay save
let's go see what that looks like though
uh presentation scenes open with code
all right and so that's what this looks
like it looks very editable which is
amazing and so i'm pretty sure if you
were to send this to a friend
uh all they would have to do is have uh
all the files that are in the same
folder
it might need to i don't know you'd have
to you'd have to check it out yeah so
it's hard coding this and so you'd have
to go through and kind of change it but
it's more of a backup for yourself
and these and these obs profiles are
kind of
what makes streamers money so
there's not much sharing going on in
general but
uh
as far as i've seen
but i guess that is an awesome new
feature because that wasn't possible it
might have been in settings like deep
buried in i just didn't know where it
was but that export option's there and
you can back that up because you can
spend hours days doing that and obs
might crap out on you one day but it's
nice to have that backup
it's never ever deleted a config file on
me though unlike other broadcasting
software
i've heard about
and so any any was that did i answer
your question
all right
anyone else
oh
tough question um the best i understand
it and if anyone is
uh
like an engineer
raise your hand hurry
hurry
damn it and so video bitrate um i know
that is 3 000 recommended by twitch for
1080p
i think it's 2000 or 2200 for 720p
and uh so it's currently set at 25 which
would be a great 720p stream the best i
know it uses flv but i did not look that
up let's look up what that means it's
flash live video
f
lv format
and what this allows
what this allows is twitch to get your
content and also it's
we recorded it it's the same format we
recorded and uploaded youtube it allows
twitch to get your contact uh content
without letting it
finish recording and so it's getting it
at a 2500 bit rate
and uh
and it's allowing everyone to view that
at the same the moment it hits twitch
servers everyone can access your content
it's a very kind of efficient way to
to get that out there um
and so
i do know the recommended what does it
say what it stands for
flash flash video all right
fl okay yeah the l is the f
l on flash but uh twitch
recommended
bitrate
um
i will speak from personal experience do
not cheap out on a router don't do it
get the i got the
the best of the best i don't know like
it's like advertisement i think it's
3200 uh acm
yeah
um
this boy is mean it is i would consider
it the best they have one that's set up
just for xbox but i would consider this
one
the best router you can buy i got it for
150 refurbished from uh
walmart you can put open source software
on it to make it do whatever you want
and i wouldn't recommend that because uh
well i would recommend it you just might
not have a router for a while
uh
but it's really it's uh
but yeah so
uses open wrt for that
and
this will help your stream
the most it handles the bit rate and
make sure you don't do packet losses
during that bit rate um when you're
transferring it i've had a lot of issues
on twitch i traced the cable back and it
was the router
and um
i hate to say just buy more money but
spend more money but as long as we're in
our current standard
ac standard i guess for wi-fi this is
going to be the best router until we
move to something new um
question
oh yeah yeah that's for sure uh but even
if you do that
that's a good point
repeat the question oh man thank you
austin
the question was the question before
that was i i think just general
questions about explaining bitrate
i'm not engineer i don't know
the second question was could you not
just connect directly in the router and
that is correct
and
and so
i got a little bit off on a tangent
right there i love i love open wrt i
kind of sprung off on that um
some routers have 100 megabyte
connections and some have gigabit
connections and even if you have gigabit
it's still being processed and so the
more memory that that router has the
more processing power that has
like this is a lan party router for
probably like 10 people
you could i think on most any router
you're right just connect directly and
stream while uh
everyone else because it's mainly about
upload but you can stream while everyone
else is doing normal stuff on the
internet so
that's a very good question wi-fi though
uh the bigger the router the better the
router the better
but it
you should be connected directly i
didn't mean for this to be a stream to
twitch
talk
teklahoma does stream to twitch too
so it is very relevant to obs
this is mainly about the recording the
presentation part
any other questions
no
i can always talk afterwards
i really like this because i'll use this
youtube video to show my son so he can
get jump in and get started with obs and
twitch pretty soon and i meant to kind
of do this for him
just i think kim really is really good
at making me collect my thoughts and
learn
so
kind of learn you know walk the
walk the walk type of thing and that's
kind of what i did for here
all right
thank you all and uh i'll be here for a
little bit to answer questions thank you
