- If you wanna make more money from your live streams,
you're gonna love this new feature from Streamlabs OBS.
I'm gonna tell you what it is,
give you a full walkthrough and we're starting right now.
(upbeat hip hop music)
What is going on?
My name is Nick, welcome to another video.
if this is your first time here
and you wanna learn how to grow your channel,
make videos, and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking the bell
so you don't miss anything.
Okay, so Streamlabs OBS just updated one of their features
that's gonna help you make a lot more money
from your live streams.
In fact, if you can come up with a fun way to use this,
you're gonna be getting paid by the second
for your live streams, yeah by the second.
The feature is a media share feature
that allows people to submit their videos to you
and pay you by the second
to watch their videos during your stream.
So we're gonna head over to the computer
and I'm gonna show you how you can use this feature
to make more money in your live streams, let's go.
The very first thing that you wanna do of course
is you wanna log into your Streamlabs OBS.
From there, you wanna go to your dashboard.
Once you're in your dashboard, you wanna scroll down
to where it says Media Share Beta,
depending on when you're seeing this
that beta may not be there,
but you wanna click on Media Share.
Now right up here in the very top right-hand corner,
you're gonna see the on and off.
So you wanna make sure that you have this set to on.
For this, I'm gonna go ahead and choose the Auto-Show
so that when the videos are loaded in there,
they're going to automatically show
instead of having to manually go in there
and say to show everyone.
So I'm gonna hit this and then I'm gonna click on Next
and then this basically just tells you
you're gonna see this on your end as well.
This basically just tells you where to find
the different aspects of setting this whole thing up
but I'm gonna show it all to you right here
as we go through this.
So next, I'm gonna click on Got It.
Now just to give you a breakdown
of what's going on here on this page,
this right here is where your actual widget URL is gonna be.
Of course, you wanna make sure that you copy this,
then we're also going to launch this into a new window.
And the reason for that,
you're gonna see right here in a minute.
Now the price per second, this is basically,
let's say that you're showing a five second video,
then this is saying that hey,
you're gonna charge 10 cents per second,
so that would give you 50 cents for 5 seconds of a video.
This is the minimum amount that you'll take
for showing someone's video and this is the maximum duration
because of course, if you're live streaming,
you don't wanna show somebody's 10-minute video
'cause you don't want to take up all of your stream, right?
And then from there of course, you have your buffer time,
you have spam security in there,
and if you end up banning media, this is also gonna be
where you're going to see that as well.
But once you get that all figured out
and you have this launched, the next thing you wanna do
is you just wanna click on Save Settings.
And once you have that done,
you're going to go back into your editor
so that you can set all of this up.
Once we are back in the editor tab,
we're gonna go down to the sources
and we're going to add a browser source in this situation.
And then we're gonna add the link to this browser source,
which here I'm just going to go copy that URL
that I just got and then on this,
I'm gonna turn this to a 1920 by 1080
and then I'm going to click on Done.
So as you're seeing right here,
what's going to happen is it's gonna give you
the full frame of this video.
So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna grab this corner
and I'm gonna shrink this down
so that it's on top of my stream
so that I can watch this video with my viewers
for the reaction or however I wanna do it.
But of course, you know, if you have this scaled
to where, you know, it'll take up your full screen,
then you can have the option
to show it full screen if you want.
But in this case, I'm gonna be acting
like I'm gonna be watching it along with my viewers
so that maybe I'm gonna be doing a reaction
to what it is that they are showing me
or something along those lines.
From there of course, you're gonna move it in
to whatever position that you would like to have it.
And then once you have that taken care of,
you're gonna go over to your live setting
and once you're in this live setting of course,
you're going to see right down here in the corner,
you're gonna see how this is already pulling up a video
and you're probably thinking, wait a minute,
how does it know what video to pull from?
The reason for that is because if you look
under the Media Share tab right here,
there's already a one here,
and that's from a video that I've previously loaded
into the system so it's automatically
pulling that first video that's in the queue.
Now a couple things I want to show you here really quick
is you see where it says hide video?
If you click on hide video right here
then what's gonna happen is it's going to take it off
of your screen right there to where
you're not gonna be able to see it,
nobody else is gonna be able to see it,
but when you click on show video,
then it's gonna put it back on your screen
to where you're gonna be able to watch it,
other people are gonna be able to see it as well,
it's gonna be part of your stream.
And if you click on the little gear icon here,
this is gonna show you some more options
in terms of starting the auto play
which we have it set to automatically do,
turning off the auto show which we also
have it automatically set to do.
We wanna make sure that all that stuff is on
and to deactivate moderators and things along those lines.
But for now, we're gonna keep it set as it is
and what you're gonna see here is you're gonna see
the video that is actually in the queue, okay?
Now in addition to the things that people
are going to submit to you, and I'm gonna show you
exactly how they're gonna do that right here in a second,
but in addition to the things that people
are going to submit to you, if you go over here
to the right, you're gonna see an Add Media option.
Now if you click on that,
this is also gonna give you the option to add any videos
that you want so even if you just wanna show videos
of your own, say you wanna reference other videos
of yours and you just wanna have them come
right up in your stream, you can actually use this
to cue 'em up so that you can do that as well.
But for this one, I've already got a video in the queue
so I'm just gonna close this for now.
Now this is the part right now
where I can go ahead and just click Play
and trigger this if I want.
But say you're gonna see when I click play,
that the video starts playing in the little box up here
in the top left and it starts playing right down here
in my window which is confirming with me
hey, people are gonna be able to see this
during the live stream.
Now if you wanna make this available
so that people can submit their videos to you,
so that you can watch their videos,
so that you can generate some money from this,
or just so that you can highlight people
for whatever reason, then what you need to do
is you need to go back into your dashboard.
Once you're inside of your dashboard,
you wanna go down to the donation settings
right here under My Donations
and then you're gonna see here a URL
that is your custom Streamlabs URL, your donations page.
So what you wanna do is you wanna copy that
and then you wanna make sure that you add that
to your Twitch description or to your YouTube description
or whatever platform it is
that you happen to be streaming on,
or just a page in your website
that you can send people to so that you can have people
submit these videos to you and of course,
pay you per second to watch these videos.
Now when somebody submits a video to you,
it's going to look something like this, okay?
Now my Twitch header, you can't actually see it in here,
this is what my Twitch header actually looks like,
if you're not following me on Twitch,
definitely make sure to head over and follow me on Twitch.
The name is the same of course.
But you're gonna see here that this is confirming right here
that this is the actual Twitch.
Like this is what's happening right now.
So if I was on YouTube,
then you would see my YouTube URL here.
And then of course, here they can put their username,
they put the donation amount,
they put any message that they have.
So in this case, if it was something for my channel,
they might say hey, you know,
would you check out my intro?
And then down here is the actual media they wanna share.
So all this stuff up here at the top,
this is the stuff that's been there on the donation page
but this down here is what shows up
once you turn that option on
inside of the media share settings.
So this is where they drop their URL
and then they put a specific start time
because remember they're paying by the second
so it's very important that they make sure
that they give you the right time to watch the video from.
And then once they have all that put together,
if they've paid enough of course,
they can add a gift to it and they can add effects
and then they would click the Donate button
to actually submit the entire thing.
Pretty cool feature, right?
And in addition to this,
Streamlabs also has a bunch of other ways
that you can make money from your live streams as well.
So if you're not familiar with Streamlabs,
you can get them down in the description below.
I'm also gonna put a link right up here
to some more Streamlabs videos so you can see more
of what you can do with Streamlabs OBS.
So make sure you go and check those out as well.
