Prism is an awesome alternative to other live streaming tools,
especially for new streamers who are gonna love all the tools and the
ease of use.
Today I'm gonna show you how to build a game stream quick and easy
using builtin prism tools.
Hello, my YouTube friends.
We're gonna build a complete gaming live stream today, and we're gonna
do it using Prism Live Studio in less than 10 minutes.
So we're gonna go from absolutely nothing to ready to stream in 10
minutes.
You can't beat that.
So you know what?
Let's get to it.
Okay.
Once you get signed in with Prism Live Studio, this is basically what
you're gonna see.
We've got our scenes down here, our sources, our audio mixer, and our
preview screen.
There is nothing that you need to do in settings at this moment to get
us ready to stream.
What I am gonna do is show you the one thing that you should always do
on a new setup and go ahead and click there and we're gonna go to our
visual.
We're gonna scroll down to the bottom and we're gonna change this from
thumbnail to text.
And we're gonna click apply.
And that's gonna save all kinds of clock cycles because it's not gonna
put a little thumbnail icon here.
And I'm gonna move this up over here.
And now we're ready to set everything up.
So we have our first scene.
We're gonna go ahead and just modify the name of this and we'll call
it coming soon.
And we're gonna add a source to this.
We're gonna click the Plus and we're gonna go into a background
template and we'll just call this Coming soon, coming soon V for
coming soon video.
And we're gonna select this little moon right there or planet.
That looks pretty good.
Now we're gonna add Prism Chat, and we don't need to really be much
more specific than that.
We can add any one of these chat styles.
We can change our font size pretty simply.
Gonna click okay, we're gonna add it in here.
We're just gonna move this over here to the right.
And the last thing that I want to do, we're gonna add a clock widget.
And this is gonna be a countdown timer.
We can select which one we want.
Let's select that one.
We're gonna go in here and we're gonna call it countdown.
Let's call it starting soon.
And instead we're gonna have it be a timer and it automatically puts
up text there.
All right, so we can have sound effects, not sound effects, it's set
to one minute.
We can make it whatever we want.
We have our timer control and the start text, and we can set this up
our, our background color to whatever we want.
So let's use this baby blue there.
We can make it as transparent or whatever as we like.
And I like that.
That looks pretty good.
And we can just start it and we'll click okay.
And what we're gonna do is just embiggen this like that, put it right
there.
So you can call, you can pause these by right clicking and going into
the timer control, clicking pause.
You can also obviously resume them pretty easily.
And when this runs out, it's going to say it's time to stream, make it
a little bit smaller.
And all of the timers work basically the same way.
And now we've got our start screen ready to go.
So the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna add another screen and
let's call this one the live screen.
Live main.
I like that.
And we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna add a Prism camera and we'll
just call this camera and click okay.
And we're gonna use the H D M I one.
We are going to, we're going to go ahead and remove the background
here.
And you're gonna see it's a little wonky and that is mostly because of
my lighting, but that's okay, is what we're gonna do shrink this up
down here.
We're gonna make it super small.
And we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna add our background template.
We're gonna slap that right here.
We're gonna use the same coming soon one, move it down below our
camera.
So there we are.
So now you can see why the little shoulder thing or whatever isn't
that big a deal because we're nice and small.
Anyways, we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna add our chat in here as
well.
We can use the same one so we don't have to create multiple assets.
And so for our main chatting screen, this is kind of what we would
get.
Next thing I'm gonna do is go ahead and add a game screen.
Likes and comments, our 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 while
you're there if you're not subscribed, please do.
It really does help me continue to make content that it helps you.
So thanks.
And first, let's go back to our coming soon screen.
You can see we have no audio here at all.
So let's add some audio.
We're gonna go in here and I'm gonna add a video or music, and we're
gonna call this intro.
You can download your intro music from lots of different places.
YouTube has music that you can get.
I'm gonna use my own music, something that I did like my first week on
YouTube.
We just need to find it.
There it is.
Click open, we want to loop it.
And boom.
So now on our screen, our intro music is gonna play.
We can adjust it so it's not too loud.
The other thing that we can add to the starting soon screen is an
audio visualizer.
And let's just use, let's use this one here that works and we'll click
okay.
We're going to use our intro music and boom.
And we'll just put this down here right along the bottom and let's
modify it just a little bit.
And there we go.
We scroll down here.
You can see that's pretty much exactly what we're looking for.
So we can select a different color too.
So we can go with kind of like the dull yellow that I use for just
about everything.
And there we go.
That looks pretty cool.
Now it's gonna be bouncing along to my music, making our coming soon
screen just a little bit cooler.
Put this all the way down at the bottom and stretch it all the way to
the edges.
There we go.
So now our coming soon screen is great.
Our main live screen where we get to talk to our audience is good.
Let's set up our game screen.
The first thing I'm gonna do once again is add our prism camera.
We already have it set up, so I'm just gonna select it and boom, put
it in there.
You're gonna put it down here in the lower right hand corner.
We've gotta add our game is, you can see the Prism camera already adds
our audio.
We don't have to do any of that to add our game we're gonna do a
monitor capture.
You can also do a game capture.
This works sometimes I find it a lot easier to just do a monitor
capture and we'll call this one game.
And we're gonna go ahead and select the game monitor, which is this
one right here.
And a click.
You can select your capture method and all that stuff.
Whatever looks best for you is fine.
We want to capture our cursor as well, and we'll stretch this out.
And there we go.
Just make sure we get those edges covered.
We'll pull it down below our camera and we're all set there.
I want to go ahead and just move this up a little bit because what we
want to do is add some audio.
Now for this, we want to use our application audio capture.
And you may not have this activated, so if you don't, you're gonna
want to go up here and you're gonna want to go to your Prism lab and
just make sure that application audio capture is enabled.
And then once that's enabled, you're gonna be able to go and click the
plus select application audio capture.
Click okay, and we'll call this game audio.
And we're gonna click okay, and we're gonna click the plus right here.
And we're going to select our game right there.
Click okay and okay, and you can see we don't have any game audio
coming in, but if I select the game, then the game audio comes on.
So whenever I'm playing the game, the audio is gonna play.
When I click off the game, you can see the audio goes away.
So it's perfect.
We're gonna get the audio when we're playing and you wanna make sure
that you adjust your audio levels down here so they are sufficient so
your voice is heard and the game audio is heard and all that good
stuff.
Once you have all that set up our game screen is set up, we're ready
to go.
So what other scenes do we need?
Well, let's do a stream ended and we're gonna click okay.
And what we're gonna do is we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna use
that same background template as the coming soon.
There we go.
And what I'm gonna do is just go ahead and use our text template.
And I really like this one here, but we can use the shaking titles.
That works pretty good too.
We'll just move this all the way up like that and put it in the center
here.
And what I'm gonna do is go ahead and right click, go to properties,
and we're gonna go to detailed settings.
I'm gonna change up my font here and we want to make sure that it's
bold and change the font size so we can see it a little better.
And we're gonna go with stream ended.
Then all we have to do is go ahead and select all of this stuff up.
We're gonna go with the blue that I always use, and we're gonna go
with a background.
Let's do that.
Let's do a background and we'll do that dull yellow background.
Here we go.
And what we can do now is add a little bit of an outline and we're
gonna adjust the opacity on our background a little bit so that it
fades better into the background.
So we have a little bit of that yellow, but not a lot.
And then we can adjust how fast our text wiggles.
And there we go.
So now we've got a stream ended.
We could put our chat in here as well if we wanted to.
There is another cool feature that I like to do.
We're gonna go back to the background template and we're gonna add
something over top click okay.
And what we're gonna do is go and we're gonna add some of this
snowfall here.
I like that snowfall, that's pretty cool.
And that that's actually right in front of everything.
We're gonna go back to the coming soon screen, and we're gonna go
ahead and add in the same background.
So we'll go to background template and we'll select our overtop and
click on that.
And now our stream is all set up.
We've got coming soon.
We've got our screen where we can chat to the audience.
We've got our game screen on here with our audio and our stream is
ended.
There really isn't anything else we need.
We are ready to go live.
The last piece we should have to do is setting up our setup.
And the beautiful thing is that Prism does it all for you.
Once you log in and you've already connected your account, all you
have to do is go right here to this little exclamation point and you
select where you want to stream to.
In my case, YouTube, you click apply now and you're already set up.
All you have to do is click go live, and you will go live on your
platform of choice.
It's really that quick.
It does everything for you.
You should have the optimum settings super easy.
