▼ Questions & Answers ▼
[Q] - How did you record this?
[A] - I used OBS to record a VMWare virtual machine running on my desktop. This way I could show you how to install and configure OBS while actually using it at the same time.
[Q] - Why is the audio out of sync with your cam in OBS?
[A] - There is a noticeable audio delay because of the link between my webcam and the virtual machine hosting the lesson. This should not happen to you during your live streaming. Also the part where I'm on the TH-cam page is delayed by 20 - 30 seconds which is common for live streams.
[Q] - How do I know what to set my upload bandwidth to?
[A] - Go to speedtest.net and run a few tests and use the lowest upload bandwidth - 500kbps to give you wiggle room. (ex. for 2.5mbit use 2000kbps). It will take some trial and error to find the right rate where you get the best image quality without dropping frames.
[Q] - How do I install custom plugins?
[A] - Search Bing or Google for 'OBS Plugins' or 'OBS Extensions'. There are a ton of tutorials on installing them and most are not that difficult to use and really let you put a unique twist on your stream.

Flv has one advantage over mp4. Flv container doesn't need encoder post-processing. So if OBS crashes while recording, the file wont be corrupted in most scenarios. While mp4 requires some encoder post-processing. Which means that if OBS crashes, your video will be gone.
And you can change the container from flv to mp4 afterwards with ffmpeg and a simple batch file in just few seconds. It doesn't re-encode it. It literally just copies over the raw x264 data and sound of course.
+Tukkajumala This is fantastic information, I never realized this. Thank you!
And in theory one could use OBS-MP just for the remuxing, and record with the old OBS.
+Tukkajumala I've heard of OBS-MP but haven't tried it. I might have to do a tutorial on that at some point.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm thank you I was always wondering how to stream and I would like a Adobe Photoshop
+My Personal Let me add my voice in saying I'd love to see some Barnacules Photoshop tutorials. Thanks.
This is great. You covered both TH-cam and Twitch. Thank you for this!
Wtf, this video came out 7 minutes ago, but you commented 33 minutes ago?! How the fuck die you do that?!
MoronicArc WHOA CRAZY.
+3D Printing Nerd - HIGH FIVE!!!
+3D Printing Nerd You're a Harry wizard.
Matt Stroud RETURN FIVE!
Awesome video Jerry!
+Tech By Matt Thanks Matt!
+Barnacules Nerdgasm
you have an awesome channel. i have been watching for 2 years now. keep up the awesome work
+Barnacules Nerdgasm there is a website called restream io that can let you stream to multiple services at once. you actually stream to their service and then they bounce the stream to twitch and youtube or whatever you stream to
+Barnacules Nerdgasm
I Also Think That This Video is Cool! (:
now this is a tutorial! simple yet detailed!!!! KUDOS to this!!
This is literally the best video on this subject by a long shot! I’m a follower and I love the knowledge you share
To make switching scenes on OBS less laggy, the best thing to do is use Global Sources. What this does is to keep your Game, Vidoes, Webcam etc. running in the background to make it flow better. You can also use them for CLR Browser plugins to make life easier for yourself by not constantly entering the same URL again and again. This works best on Intel i5 Processors and above and also AMD FX 8350 and above.
+MANZ That's a great tip!
This is the most helpful guide out of all of the guides out there. Very thorough.
+beastfighter1 Thank you, I was really trying to make a tutorial that absolutely anyone could follow on a clean PC that didn't already have OBS configured, etc.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm Hey Jerry! Love your video's and looking forward to what you will be putting out this year :D
Also I'm picking up a pair of ATH-M50x and a Blue Yeti Silver (USB) and was wondering, do you think I should get a Dac to go with them? Right now i'm just running off my Motherboard (Asrock 990FX Extreme 6). I remember that a few videos said Motherboard Audio is pretty good unless you are doing Pro work. I'm not doing any pro stuff just a small channel. Think i need one? also if you do i'm open to any suggestion under 200USD.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm please make a tutorial of photo shop
this isnt useful for me, but it is interesting to watch
the photoshop tutorial tho would be really useful
The only thing that's holding me back from PS is the fucking price. It's $1500! That's crazy!
+Captain Xno that's why you get gimp or something else that's cheap. Unless you actually want to edit photos all the time then spending the money on PS is a waste. There are other programs that are free or very cheap that have plenty of good tools to make cool photo edits. A simple google search should help you find them.
+Captain Xno Photoshop hasn't been available for purchase for a long time, it's a subscription which makes it much more affordable
+Captain Xno I got it for free from my school :D
+Captain Xno It doesn't work that way any more. Adobe Creative Cloud works on a subscription payment, and you can actually get Photoshop and Lightroom for around £10/$15 a month, which is *much* more affordable than the previous outright purchase prices.
so in depth! Thanks so much man!!!
amazing video. why couldnt everyone else that has these vids be as great as yours. thank you so much! i have photoshop 7 and it isnt as easy as what u used but thanx anyway.
18:00, you should do a tutorial on photoshop :).
Great video as well :)
+MrMonteCristo Yeah, I'd like that, too!
Me too!
i second that
+MrMonteCristo No. Go freaking find a photoshop expert online. TONS of them. His channel is already way too spread out.
Whenever i import a game capture, I can only see a black screen behind my webcam... help me plz?
same for me
same
pray to kobe
I like bacon
+AlexLikes BACON the notorious bacon man strikes again
15:40 That is untrue, there is a website called restream that allows you to stream to both twitch and TH-cam at the same time in either regular obs or obs studio
How will does it work is there no lag and would you recommend it?.Another question is there any other website that does both streaming on twitch and TH-cam at the same time or is it just that?
CaptainDunzo It's mostly supported to obs studio, but you can use obs classic to use it, but all you do is sign up on their website, you connect your TH-cam, twitch, or any multiple services you want, you'll get a custom stream key and rtmp url from their website, and just place it into your obs, and then stream. And only the bandwidth being used will just go to restream so it doesn't cause any lag to the stream or stress on your pc. And I would absolutely recommend it for someone who wants to be able to stream to multiple platforms without putting stress on their system
which is better studio or regular? i have studio
I use it restream for a work account and it's decent but tough keeping up with all the messages
Never used obs, never streamed on PC. I've always had a great desire to, and now I can!
Thanks to you, I had always been unable to figure out OBS and how to work it till now, thank you very much for the video Branacules!
Definitely dropping a Like and sharing this!
I watched thousand of videos and none of them were so well and easy explained like this one. Thank you!
i found this video very helpful and made it very easy to set up my obs with my device and i dident really have to look up any other tutorials to find out how to do something he explained it all thnx so much
Hi Jerry, thanks for this video. I learned how to use OBS with it. Now, I've made a couple of videos and selected full HD in the video settings at 30 fps, but the blacks look jagged and the video looks like a low res video scaled up, not like a true HD video. I tried recording another one at 60fps and it looks exactly the same, but much larger file size. Is there another area of OBS to tweak some settings to ensure the output recording is recording at the same quality my monitor is showing "me"?
Cool work, keep on doing what you do!
This was one of the greatest tutorials. Actually, no! It was THE GREATEST tutorial I have ever seen, you just taught me a million things in 21 minutes that felt more like 10.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I was asked if I could live stream my son's hockey games, and your video was just the right level of detail for me to get this up and running.
I would greatly appreciate if you could make a tutorial video on how to use adobe photoshop. I watched this video and it has been very helpful, more than any other tutorials I have seen. People fail to simplify it the way you did for me. I am trying to build my page like you did on this video but I am having trouble with finding the pics I save on my pc in obs and how can I design my own logos like you did in adobe?
Jerry I get 0.83 Mbps upstream, what bitrate should I use?? , I tried to stream American Truck Simulator a few days back, but the resultant stream was choppy in some parts :(
Great video btw!
+MediaCrisp OBS is very CPU hungry and kills the resources. I am not sure what processor you have but you need at least a i7.
+krazyhippy 4790K
MediaCrisp
Well boom lol.....I have a 6600k and could not use OBS because it was eating my system alive.
+MediaCrisp Wow, with that upstream I don't think live streaming is in the cards for you. But if you want to really try set the bit rate to 700kbps and set the resolution to 1280x720 at 24fps. It's not going to look good at all but it should work.
+krazyhippy My Encoding is fine when I test the stream locally, it's purely my network that's holding me back
BarnacluesTechTips
THANKS A MILLION!! Instructions was clear and to the point.
This was amazing. If anyone needs to know anything about setting up the basics, this is perfect. Now I just need to find somewhere that will explain twitch alerts and stuff like that.
how do you show your self and the computer on the video
live streaming about live streaming. Super Meta Jerry.
Hi there, I'm trying to follow your tutorial but I'm confused about a few things. For example, how can a streamer see the chat while they're playing the game? I thought there was going to be some sort of overlay or something.. but it seems not... so how does it work?
They have 2 monitors or 2 pc's
Yeah I learned this seems to be pretty much the only way. I would have thought most people don't have two computers with two monitors right next to each other and that the "normal" way of doing it was another.. I guess I was wrong.
+Sentient Anomaly i taught the same,if u can use ur phone for that.
Yeah but the popped out chat would still be like a normal window which wouldn't appear in full-screen mode.
use your android phone or any other device that has internet and wifi
wow, I don't know anything about computers or technology but you made that look so easy, thank you for this video!!!
i watched 2 others and yours is the only one that made sense and worked first time. Would love a video on how to tag properly so people can find live stream.
Hey im trying to do a livestream with my camera hooked up and put some graphics on it. Any recommendations??? Thanks man
I saw your video on LeEco one touch impression. I think someone is holding the camera, why don't you use Tripod, it will help
yeah it was a very improvised video, not planned , just wanted to get it out there!! watch my UE roll review for quality check :) thanks for checking the video out dude!
Do you use smartphone to record your video or DSLR?
i just picked my iphone 7 plus and started recording, dslr for my other vid. im trying to get and rx100 5
Reason i asked you was - bcoz - i saw your comment on a vid- that you are trying to set up your DSLR with OBS to stream live.
I am actually a TH-cam video creator, i publish tutorials. Few days back i did a vid on best settings for OBS.
Now my next topic is how to use DSLR with OBS, currently at research stage, so thought to find that out from you
when i add the game it just stays black
Same here
same :(((
Guys, try to run the game and obs as an admin. This helped me. You also gotta click at the game after you added it to OBS, then it will be shown in OBS.
Same!!
butterwolf 4 then try window capture
it says windows 7+ so will it work in windows 10
Emma 14388
Read what you just typed.
.-. it says versions 1.0+ does that mean it would work on 1.2? .-.
I was being sarcastic
Jhuei well I stole your face
oh k
I find following most tutorials very confusing, and can never understand, but this video was so great! Thank you!
this is the BEST tutorial
Love this video. It helped me a lot. Btw, the name is spelled wrong if you want it pronounced Bar na cles. You have it spelled Bar na cules. Just saying. lol
ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ooooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeeeeehhh
*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP*
SUCC
Honestly....best tutorial ever! Not sure if it is how easy he explains or hes just that awesome! seriously helpful!
Finally someone that can explain it where even I can understand lol. Thanks . Now I need to get a chat window - If I'm live streaming and someone comes in and starts chatting with me I'd like to see it , and troll with him .
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!! Who knew I've been doing everything wrong for years already!!!
Best video! I just started looking into OBS. This is the first OBS walk through I've seen and you nailed it. Thanks for including all the details. Thanks for teaching me today!
Literally the best tutorial for this hands down. Love it dude
OMG! This is fantastic! I have been trying to figure out how I could do this for either live stream or just recording for my art business! Every other channel just wasn't spelling it out for me like you did! Now I guess I will watch it over and over till I get it into my head! lmbo! Just an artist looking to sell her artwork!
thank you iv been trying to figure this out for days and no one was better than this tutorial
Took me a bit of a long time to follow every step you made and the photo shop but its all worth it! thanks a bunch!
Wish I found this video sooner. It's definitely one of the better guides for this. Thank you, my dude.
this is the first video ive watched on this and im glad i chose your channel, your amazing at this dude, keep it up, tutorial rated 90000000 out 10 , brilliant just brilliant
Tnx Bro. You have a talent for explaining stuff clearly without going into toooo much depth
I appreciate your video. I watched several others first and they just didn't deliver. Your explanation was simple and straightforward. You got me up and running. Thank you.
I am starting to dip my toes into live streaming on youtube and twitch and this was a huge help. I know this video was posted over a year ago and OBS has stopped supporting the classic version but it has some great info. Perhaps an updated version for 2017?
I really appreciate this! I have been trying to find a solid video tutorial on how to use OSB Studio to create tutorials on digital illustration. But I was running into vids that were really awful and/or useless. Until I found this one! So thank you! You just taught me everything I needed to know, even tho the kind of video I am making has nothing to do with gaming play throughs. You rock!
Thanks … as an Introduction to Streaming this was very informative. More strength to Barnacules !!!!!!
Extremely useful tutorial - and fun to watch, too. Thanks!
U are the best teacher I ever see. easy to understanding
I just started and couldn't figure out to use the camera through the source. Awesome! Thanks for your help!!!!
Thank you so much for the back drop tutorial. I've been looking for that for the longest time.
Any thoughts on why my OBS video freezes when I try to preview a scene that has 2 camera sources? The audio keeps running and the video freezes until I disconnect my external webcam. (I'm attempting to use my internal DELL webcam and an external logitech.) OBS reports as 'not responding.' Once I unplug my external logitech everything works again until I try to stream or preview the stream with both webcams.
I finally figured out how to stream LIVE on TH-cam using OBS, quick question, will there always be a 30 sec. lag between what's LIVE on OBS and TH-cam or is there a way to Sync them to where they're almost running side by side in real time ?
Just wanted to say a big thank you for this video! :) Helped me make my first live stream yesterday. Have subbed to your channel as well. It's awesome. Thank you mate. Cheers
this is probably the best video tutorial ive ever seen, thanks so much. Now im ready to start streaming myself. all the best, keep up the good work :)
Excellent tutorial, could you make an another one with the latest version of OBS, also on how to use moving chrome key on OBS please?
Really well done, thank you. I'll watch that again - many times. By far the best so far.
This video was the one I needed all along.
I know how to setup OBS but on how you teach this tutorial hooked me up to watch. Good Job, got my sub.
Hey bro, truly appreciate this tutorial. Great job! I watched 2 others but did not find useful than yours. Thumbs up! Thank you again.
Thanks for covering the CLASSIC version! its what i use cause all the settings are what i am used to!
super helpful thank you :) I tried several other people's vids but yours is the most informative
what if we're playing a web game, does same rules apply?
Thank you so much for this video, answered all my questions about live streaming!!!
Dude thanks so much for showing me this I'm kinda new in TH-cam and it's always good to hear new things to help me out
Wow... I just can’t say thanks for this video enough! I don’t have a lot of time but thought it would be cool to start streaming as an 90’s gamer getting into the new games. Just have some fun. This video is just awesome! Thanks!
This video is the shit. Absolutely necessary to start navigating through OBS functions.
Thank you so much for taking the time and making this useful video that others do not explain very well. I would like to say my deepest thanks.
Great step by step tutorial i have seen out there so far!! Keep it up bruh..until next time.
Thanks. With just one vid I got a fantastic understanding of live streaming
Nice tutorial, really helped me out. Thank you
you did an awesome job teaching this subject
Barnacules, could you please make another video just like this with the newer updated version of OBS? I have been experiencing some issues following, and I am afraid it might be because OBS has changed a few things!
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! IT WORKS! I COULD'NT HAVE STREAM WITHOUT YOU!
Thank you for the live streaming demo of how to live stream, could a live stream about a live stream be called a recursive live stream?
Also FYI: I checked out one of your links in the description, and the Closeout deal on Ultimaker 2 3D Printers is no longer is available.
You did very well bro. Good job I've been watching different videos and you have made it hella easy
Thank u so much no one on YT ever did a good tutorial on this.
I was streaming withing 5 minutes of watching this video! Thanks dude!
Wonderful video man. Also I would love to see future tutorials from you regarding Photoshop or anything basically. This video was super well made.
Super job. Thanks for all the information.
Will we always have to Calibrate so there's no delay between what you see and what's being broadcasting so your not saying something happened then few seconds later it shows up.. could you do a video of making overlays?
This is the first video I saw of you! Now I know to watch more!
Excellent Tut @Barnacules Nerdgasm, keep doing your thing and bring more of them videos out :)
Was never able to stream till I watched this vid.. Great vid and easy to follow along. Definitely a like on this video, good vid man and thank you
Thank you so much for putting this out there!! Super informative and easy to follow!!
Do you need a capture card for PC gaming doing live stream? lol I forgot.
Thank you so much for this video - finally an OBS tutorial that makes sense
Thanks Barnacles! Your channel always shares so much insight and tips. I am a happy subscriber!
Thanks dude, you deserve more subscribers!
this video was sooo much much much helpful, thanks man! finally i can do my livestreams
you have no idea how much this video helped me! Thanks alot !
Hi Barnacules What stream settings do you recommend for streaming on Twitch or TH-cam.
Ping: 58ms
Upload speed 0.26 Mbps
Download Speed: 0.88 Mbps
Thank you, Thank you! I've been looking everywhere for a video like this!! Helps me out a lot on figuring out my Twitch setup.
my upload speed is around 1.8 mbps. what do you recommend my max bitrate settings to be?
Which DSLR cameras wont turn off during live streaming? I have seen on youtube that this is sometimes a problem. Love your stuff, Thanks so much!
