Dude I love this.... FINALLY someone tells how to game at 4k 120hz and still be able to stream without getting forced down to 60hz (or 1080p60 if you don't have a 4k capture card)
I'm having an issue where my OBS extends the screen instead of duplicating it like it did with yours. Then when i push "duplicate these displays" it does work but then games lock me to 1080 @ 60fps. I can do the projector preview but it has quality loss, the screen looks like it's tearing. How did you get OBS to copy your game screen when your in the extend these displays option? For me it just extends them
but having obs on your gaming pc doesnt take resources from your gaming pc? whats the point of using a second pc when you still are going to be using obs in both?
I’ve tried to do this for days I have 3 monitors on gaming oc and 1 monitor on streaming pc so streaming pc monitor is #3 however when I do fullscreen preview to my elegato #3 it puts it on #4 plzzzzz someone help I will pay I’ve worked on this for days with nothing fixed 😢
I Have a gaming desktop and a laptop i want to use the laptop to stream from and the tower to game from the tower has the graphics card and PCie capture card how do I go about hooking this up im so confused
I would like to share my main monitor to stream pc. But u selecet 1080p one. So when i do my monitor which is 2560x1440 and also limitless fps it directly stucks it to 60 fps my game. I want limitless fps for my game how am i suppose to do?
hey bro, I recently bought a 240hz monitor and my elgato hd60 won't allow me to get that 240hz that I bought the monitor for i have watch a lot of different videos about how to fix this problem but my biggest problem is that i can't actually make it so i have more then 1 display when i plug in my elgato from my stream pc into my gaming pc then into the monitor it only lets me see 1 display called Elgato and i can only view 60hz but when i plug a HDMI cable from my gaming pc strait into my new 240hz monitor it can view 240hz and the only display option is my monitor. From what I believe when I plug my streaming pc through the Elgato to my gaming pc and monitor I should have more then one display. If u could help me that would be amazing.
I'm guessing you're trying to use the pass through port in the elgato card. You cant do that and achieve what you're looking for because the card captures 60hz and doesn't pass through anything more than it captures. The video I have here shows plugging a new port on the gpu to the capture card. This is like connecting a new monitor but instead of a monitor, it's the capture card. The only way to see this monitor is viewing it through a capture software on the streaming pc.
@@Diff3RentViews ok thank u ill try that tomorrow morning. and get back too u thank you for your time means a lot. 1 last thing with it work with stream labs obs
First of all sorry for my bad english. okay. so my problem is that when i have dual pc setup connected and whne i launch any game! any game at all. every time i go fullscreen my mousecursor grows in size lieke it gets huge and it seem like the dpi changes to the higher. i feel its someting to do with resolution problems, but i don't know. my mouse setting goes back to normal everytime i go back to borderless or windowed mode for the games i play. any helpers out there?
Yup, went from 235fps in WZ down to 120 lol. The whole point of a dual pc setup is to maximize fps by putting less stress on the gaming computer. I don't understand how there isn't a way around this yet.
I have a 240hz monitor and getting 240fps if I follow these steps will I get 240fps and it be then shown to my stream at 60fps without any lag or choppy?

Hey bro great vid but I need help. I have 1 streaming pc connected to 1 monitor and I have my gaming pc connected to another seperate monitor. I’m confused where I have to plug my hdmi cords. Once I plug my hdmi into my gaming pc graphics card hdmi slot then I plug the other end of the hdmi into the elgato input. Once I turn on my desktop it looks like my screen is blank. All my desktop short cuts disappear and my computer becomes frozen. Help please
That is because you computer changed you main monitor to the other one. What you need to do is go into display settings and change your main monitor back to the one you are seeing. It's currently set to the one that goes into elgato. If you go into obs and open the elgato source, you will see all your icons on that view.
Diff3Rent Views so I plugged everything correctly ? What I do is go to the settings on my streaming pc and change it to what. ? It won’t even let me use my gaming pc once the cords are in so how do I change the settings ?
You can't use your pc at all? You can try connecting your gaming pc to both monitors you own and see how having multiple monitors set up work with your system. Sorry it's been awhile, you can get ahold of me better on discord.
I was following up until the last half... then I went cross eyed. I'm trying a dual PC setup and I'm going to try streaming. My Streaming PC has two monitors and an Avermedia Live HD2 capture card....My gaming PC has one monitor at 1440p 144hz. I've hooked everything up correctly(I think)... And I was getting a message saying something about copy protection blah blah HDCP blah blah , googled and saw that I had to turn that off in the avermedia softwear....did that and finally got the picture up in OBS, trouble is it only shows my desktop and the bar at the bottom. it wont show any games even if they are up and I can see them with my old eyes.... Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?
What's the method to accomplish this without OBS on the gaming PC? I'm not convinced it's impossible. What do I have to buy? 1440p, 165Hz on my gaming pc btw.
Sounds like you are trying to duplicate your monitor to the capture card which you would need a capture. Ard that accepts the resolution and hz that you want to run your monitor at. No other way around it. You want to run at 165hz, you need to find a capture card that will accept a 165hz input.
@@Diff3RentViews I need to get something straight: So a 1080p, 144Hz monitor can be duplicated into a 1080p, 60Hz capture card.

Monitor Setup Desktop - Connect to gaming monitor via cable (HDMI, DP, etc.) Laptop - Connect to second monitor via cable (HDMI, DP, etc.) Keyboard and Mouse setup - two ways 1) Use a USB switch (here is the one I own: amzn.to/2WpORwP) 2) use a program (symless.com/synergy) Audio and Mic 1) You can use a mixer to connect your audio and xlr / 1/4 trs / 3.5mm mic into it then have the output of that mixer go to both PCs or the one you want it to and or headphones.

You connect the output of your graphics card to the elgato. That's it. You don't need to use the output of the elgato. You can see everything that's on the monitor through obs on the streaming pc.
@@Diff3RentViews he means which graphics card are you plugging the elgato into, streaming or gaming, and if its gaming then what's the point of a GPU on streaming PC
Doesn’t this introduce frame loss ultimately defeating the purpose of having a dedicated streaming pc? Having two obs open doesn’t seem like the best option tbh
I have an i5 box that I want to use as a streaming box. Is that adequate? The gaming pc is using DVI, fortnite, with a 144hz display. I see how you're extending the display but telling OBS to only stream the other "display". Why do you need OBS on both machines? Backgrounds?
You're capturing a monitor from the gaming pc. So the gaming pc's obs is displaying whatever you want streamed, full screen to that monitor. Yes i5 is adequate.
Great video. I’m having an issue with my streaming pc using the elgato hd60 pro. When I extend the “display” for my gaming pc for the elgato “display” my streaming pc monitor just shows an extension of the gaming pc, not it’s own desktop. I’m not sure what the issue is
I don't know exactly what you mean. You're supposed to see your gaming pc on your streaming pc. Your supposed to see your streaming pc via an external display.
@@Diff3RentViews The problem was that when I connected my streaming pc to my gaming pc via the elgato hd60 pro, all 3 of my monitors were displaying extensions of my gaming pc desktop. The streaming pc did not have its own desktop display. I eventually figured it out,. Originally, I had an HDMI from my gaming pc gpu to the elgato "in" on my streaming pc, then an HDMI from the elgato "out" into my monitor. Somehow that was causing an issue, but switching ports from the Elgato "out" to a normal HDMI port on my motherboard fixed it. I'm not too sure why that makes sense, but it works now.
@@Diff3RentViews oh ok, So i can have monitor 1 and 2 for gaming PC and monitor 3 for streaming pc. And duplicate display of monitor 1 to sync it with elgato? Would that work?
@@Diff3RentViews ok so lets say I have 3 Monitors instead of 4. 2 are connected to gaming PC and 1 is connect to the streaming pc... How would I route the outputs then?
You're not duplicating anything. Like I have shown, your connecting your gpu directly into your elgato. It's got nothing to do with physical monitors. It is an extra display.
Have you figured out a way to not have GPU usage for OBS preview? I have a i7 9770k and GTX 1080, and I still feel the frame drops when i turn on preview for my HD 60pro. Feels bad
Hey there, I have my audio from both PCs run into the mixer, and then I listen via the phones output so I only have to use one pair of headphones. If I get an XLR Mic to split between machines, and I use the main output, will it just send the mic sound or the other stuff u have plugged in?
Other stuff you have plugged in and routed to the main output. You can remove things from the main output and put them to a different output unless your mixer only has one.
@@Diff3RentViews Would this same method work with the HD 60S? I have the same concern right now as I have a similar setup but this specific (external) capture card.
i have a 2k 165hz monitor and when i do this exact thing, it still limits my refresh rate to 60. I know I am very late and I have been looking for solutions for days with no luck... Do you have any advice?
I'm in the same place, however, I was trying with the default Elgato capture card software, need to test this tonight and see for myself if it works with my set up or not. I'll let you know
Doing this should not limit your refresh rate at all. I run my 2k at 144hz with no problems. Are you sure you are using a separate port out of your graphics card and not connecting your 2k monitor to the elgato in any way?
Dude. I like where you are going with this but you are all over the place! I don’t know when you are working in OBS on the streaming rig or gaming rig.... you bounce around too much.... I’ll try to piece together what you are giving out though!
Hey bro AWESOME video i just subbed for your hard work and clear instructions. one question Though, Which PC should i have my Aver Media 4k on ? .. the gaming PC or the Streaming one ? if you can help with this that'd be great. ALSO do i need a graphics card of my streaming PC or is the Built in GPU enough if i have the 4k card on it ?
Thanks for the video, I subscribed. I was looking for this very video because I don't want to lose performance while gaming (I think is around 10 fps with OBS). However I have heard of flickering and tearing issues on the HDMI capture card output, which ultimate shows in the stream. I believe this is to compensate for the refresh rate difference between the capture card and the main monitor. Have you found a way to solve this?
He says that you won't lose your 144hz using this method. This is false. After extending the display to the capture card, my gaming monitor's display settings still listed as 144hz, but upon testing it with Blur Buster's UFO Test, all my monitors were only running at 60hz, regardless of them being listed as 144hz in Nvidia Control Panel and Windows display settings.
I haven't. I have been restructuring. Focusing on my other channel Diff3RentBreed. I have obtained an editor and we are working on getting this channel back up and running! Get ready for a bunch of content to start flooding out :D
idont see the reason too this . its too much work and haslle whit mic programs ect , the best way is too get a cpu that has atleast 8 core and hyperthreading.
well how long is it gunna last before games would overtake it's power? i see a dedicated streaming rig more useful in tha long run espeicially if u wanna use a older PC offline to just to stream on a seperate PC which it's online
bro, you said hardware to hardware explanation but, all i see are softwares, please make a new video how did you seti it up via hardware to hardware connections ;)
Waw Dude! Really nice video, confusing but i understand it, i am a new streamer and was streaming with NDI, and i decide to move to capture card. i was searching how did they only capture their game without capturing the desktop but now i get it! thank you!
NDI kind of sucks ass. I tried it. Stream looked great. Audio was shitty. Maybe I'm retarded, and missing something. But, I guess a new purchase will be an HD60S
Every'thing is NOT!!! running perfectly here! I followed your video 10000000000000000000000000000000000000% and I get no audio over to the SOBS on my stream PC all i can get over is my mic and no audio what so ever from the gaming pc to the streaming pc
@@Diff3RentViews apparently not for me... like if I play world of Warcraft or hearthstone then j get audio from it on my stream pc, but the second I start playing overwatch then everything except the Mic goes dead silent
I would look into where the audio is being sent. Either through voicemeeter or through the sound settings on windows in the "app volume and device preferences".
You know why this method isen't good? Because some games don't have that fullscreen dedicated, that really runs games at 144hz and not share render with windows, like fortnite, or apex legends. But in my case, a lot of indie games even that says there "fullscreen" isen't fullscreen, and you notice that easy, because the game dosen't run smoth like preview examples, and have a preview set up in a screen that is 60hz, makes the game in my 144hz runs pretty bad, not even close as will run if I have only my 144hz running, or playing a good optimized game in fullscreen. Everytime windows need to make some 3d running in other monitor that isen't your 144hz, they will bottleneck the performance of the 144hz monitor, because windows are running some 3d bullshit "like obs preview" in a 60hz monitor. Sorry bad english...
So what method wouldn't fail then? No method. All methods with obs would fail, no? If you duplicate to capture card, you'll be at 60hz so that fails the 144hz. I haven't found a game that has failed this method. I haven't played every game but I haven't found one that's failed me. Playing full screen and borderless.
Yeah, I'm working on improving the quality. I recorded some other videos that I wasn't happy with. So I have to figure out something for future videos. Eventually we will have superb quality here! Thanks for understanding in the meantime :)
great video, helped alot so far ! i still dont have sound tho, i want to hear the game on my headphones and send it to the streaming pc, what i dont want to send is whats coming over discord (my friends dont want to be heard) and i have no clue what u did with that voice meeter, one click wasnt enough for me to catch on haha. can you help with that? thanks !
I put the discord on a separate audio channel. With the hdmi audio, everything that goes to the default audio gets sent through the cable. So if you take the discord audio off the default audio, it will not be sent.
You don't need voice meter. If you want to pass the sound you can set all sources on OBS of the gaming computer to "Monitor and Output" and then on windows you set the output source of OBS to the capture card HDMI. Not every headset works well with voice meter. yes Razer I am looking at you with your stupid THX audio, great headsets though :) Hopefully this will help anyone following the guide and having delay issues with voice meter.
It's not that weird. It is waaayyyy better I like the separation it gives. I really enjoy being able to restart my gaming pc while still talking to me chat. I've had to do that a few times.

I have an i5 box that I want to use as a streaming box. Is that adequate? The gaming pc is using DVI, fortnite, with a 144hz display. I see how you're extending the display but telling OBS to only stream the other "display". Why do you need OBS on both machines? Backgrounds?
You're capturing a monitor from the gaming pc. So the gaming pc's obs is displaying whatever you want streamed, full screen to that monitor.
Yes i5 is adequate.
Bro i have 2k monitor when i pulg it with elgato i get problem that i cant play on 2650x1440 it give me 1080 so what i do
You can't do pass through and play at a higher resolution than the monitor allows. That's why we use a different output on our graphics card.
@@Diff3RentViews do what i should do
What should you do? Follow the steps I laid out in the video.
Hey great video! Can I do this using my laptop as the streaming PC?
Yes. You'll have to get an external capture card instead of an internal one.
Great video. I’m having an issue with my streaming pc using the elgato hd60 pro. When I extend the “display” for my gaming pc for the elgato “display” my streaming pc monitor just shows an extension of the gaming pc, not it’s own desktop. I’m not sure what the issue is
I can’t even see the streaming pc desktop itself, the only display I see on my streaming pc is an extension of the gaming pc
I don't know exactly what you mean. You're supposed to see your gaming pc on your streaming pc. Your supposed to see your streaming pc via an external display.
@@Diff3RentViews The problem was that when I connected my streaming pc to my gaming pc via the elgato hd60 pro, all 3 of my monitors were displaying extensions of my gaming pc desktop. The streaming pc did not have its own desktop display. I eventually figured it out,. Originally, I had an HDMI from my gaming pc gpu to the elgato "in" on my streaming pc, then an HDMI from the elgato "out" into my monitor. Somehow that was causing an issue, but switching ports from the Elgato "out" to a normal HDMI port on my motherboard fixed it. I'm not too sure why that makes sense, but it works now.
I'm glad you figured it out! Yeah, I don't use the output on the elgato. No pass through. It's its own display.
Damn i got the same issue but putting a HDMI from the "out" of the elgato to my motherboard didnt fix it im crying :(
So I have 4 monitors, can i connect 2 to the gaming pc, 1 to streaming pc, and 1 to elgato?
Yes. You don't need physical monitors for this either. You directly plug your graphics card output into your elgato card.
@@Diff3RentViews oh ok, So i can have monitor 1 and 2 for gaming PC and monitor 3 for streaming pc. And duplicate display of monitor 1 to sync it with elgato? Would that work?
@@Diff3RentViews ok so lets say I have 3 Monitors instead of 4. 2 are connected to gaming PC and 1 is connect to the streaming pc... How would I route the outputs then?
You're not duplicating anything. Like I have shown, your connecting your gpu directly into your elgato. It's got nothing to do with physical monitors. It is an extra display.
What if I’m not streaming? What if I just want to run discord, TH-cam, twitch and the internet on my second monitor which is connected to my second pc
Then you can? I don't understand the question.
Diff3Rent Views will I be able to hear music and stuff through my second monitor and have my mic working in discord
Diff3Rent Views nvm you replied to my other comment
Have you figured out a way to not have GPU usage for OBS preview? I have a i7 9770k and GTX 1080, and I still feel the frame drops when i turn on preview for my HD 60pro. Feels bad
I haven't had to look into that before but I can for sure make a note for the future.
so could i use the hd60 pro on a dual pc setup while playing 1080p 240hz?
Fuck idk that’s what I want
Hoping this vid works !!!! I have a dual rig and dual monitor and a hd60
its still saying no device on my streaming pc? any ideas
i do have an elgato hd60 no usb c if that makes a difference
have you installed the software from elgato? The drivers? You might have to manually do that.
I downloaded elgato game capture and it started to work
@@MrDylendo perfect! downloading that software also downloaded drivers on your system so it could recognize the device.
Hey there, I have my audio from both PCs run into the mixer, and then I listen via the phones output so I only have to use one pair of headphones. If I get an XLR Mic to split between machines, and I use the main output, will it just send the mic sound or the other stuff u have plugged in?
Other stuff you have plugged in and routed to the main output. You can remove things from the main output and put them to a different output unless your mixer only has one.
@@Diff3RentViews if I have my 2 computers audio plugged to line in and and XLR Mic connected, what will I hear through the phones port and main out?
My mixers headphone port has everything the main audio is. It just has a separate master volume control.
hi bro, i have a elgato hd60s. Could you help me out?
Possibly.
@@Diff3RentViews Would this same method work with the HD 60S? I have the same concern right now as I have a similar setup but this specific (external) capture card.
i have a 2k 165hz monitor and when i do this exact thing, it still limits my refresh rate to 60. I know I am very late and I have been looking for solutions for days with no luck... Do you have any advice?
I'm in the same place, however, I was trying with the default Elgato capture card software, need to test this tonight and see for myself if it works with my set up or not. I'll let you know
Doing this should not limit your refresh rate at all. I run my 2k at 144hz with no problems. Are you sure you are using a separate port out of your graphics card and not connecting your 2k monitor to the elgato in any way?
Let me ask you something, I have a 2k with 144fps, would I lost my quality with the Elgato HD60 Pro?
Quality? What are you really asking?
I got it set up but for some reason cant get it past 60fps while gaming.. sitting in menus its 144hz.. I have a hd60s 2080ti dual pc setup
Dude. I like where you are going with this but you are all over the place! I don’t know when you are working in OBS on the streaming rig or gaming rig.... you bounce around too much.... I’ll try to piece together what you are giving out though!
I'm sorry. I'll work on this in the future. Thank you for the constructive feedback. I'll improve! I promise. :)
Hey bro AWESOME video i just subbed for your hard work and clear instructions. one question Though, Which PC should i have my Aver Media 4k on ? .. the gaming PC or the Streaming one ?
if you can help with this that'd be great. ALSO do i need a graphics card of my streaming PC or is the Built in GPU enough if i have the 4k card on it ?
the streaming PC would have the capture card. The streaming pc does not need a graphics card.
Just a quick question, i have an external capture card, do i need to plug the usb in the streaming or gaming pc
Streaming. That way it can use the device.
Nothing works for me, been trying for hours
What do you mean?
15:23 Adam Banks, Mighty Ducks?
Thanks for the video, I subscribed. I was looking for this very video because I don't want to lose performance while gaming (I think is around 10 fps with OBS). However I have heard of flickering and tearing issues on the HDMI capture card output, which ultimate shows in the stream. I believe this is to compensate for the refresh rate difference between the capture card and the main monitor. Have you found a way to solve this?
Where do I put my feet?
Where ever you want.
He says that you won't lose your 144hz using this method. This is false. After extending the display to the capture card, my gaming monitor's display settings still listed as 144hz, but upon testing it with Blur Buster's UFO Test, all my monitors were only running at 60hz, regardless of them being listed as 144hz in Nvidia Control Panel and Windows display settings.
This could be related to the cables I'm using, as well as apps running.
Why did you quit? Keep going
I haven't. I have been restructuring. Focusing on my other channel Diff3RentBreed. I have obtained an editor and we are working on getting this channel back up and running! Get ready for a bunch of content to start flooding out :D
this helped so much
i don't have full screen preview
Update your obs. If you have the latest or even just a recent version, you have full screen preview.
idont see the reason too this . its too much work and haslle whit mic programs ect , the best way is too get a cpu that has atleast 8 core and hyperthreading.
well how long is it gunna last before games would overtake it's power? i see a dedicated streaming rig more useful in tha long run espeicially if u wanna use a older PC offline to just to stream on a seperate PC which it's online
bro, you said hardware to hardware explanation but, all i see are softwares, please make a new video how did you seti it up via hardware to hardware connections ;)
I think I'll remake this video as a lot of people are still confused.
Waw Dude! Really nice video, confusing but i understand it, i am a new streamer and was streaming with NDI, and i decide to move to capture card. i was searching how did they only capture their game without capturing the desktop but now i get it! thank you!
Glad I could help!
NDI kind of sucks ass. I tried it. Stream looked great. Audio was shitty. Maybe I'm retarded, and missing something. But, I guess a new purchase will be an HD60S
Every'thing is NOT!!! running perfectly here!
I followed your video 10000000000000000000000000000000000000%
and I get no audio over to the SOBS on my stream PC all i can get over is my mic and no audio what so ever from the gaming pc to the streaming pc
The desktop audio goes through the capture card.
@@Diff3RentViews 90% goes through, but not the main game I stream
90%? Whatever you're sending to your capture cards output will be going there. Is your main game on a distant audio track?
@@Diff3RentViews apparently not for me... like if I play world of Warcraft or hearthstone then j get audio from it on my stream pc, but the second I start playing overwatch then everything except the Mic goes dead silent
I would look into where the audio is being sent. Either through voicemeeter or through the sound settings on windows in the "app volume and device preferences".
Your saying I have to put My capture card in my gaming pc bra
You know why this method isen't good?
Because some games don't have that fullscreen dedicated, that really runs games at 144hz and not share render with windows, like fortnite, or apex legends.
But in my case, a lot of indie games even that says there "fullscreen" isen't fullscreen, and you notice that easy, because the game dosen't run smoth like preview examples, and have a preview set up in a screen that is 60hz, makes the game in my 144hz runs pretty bad, not even close as will run if I have only my 144hz running, or playing a good optimized game in fullscreen.
Everytime windows need to make some 3d running in other monitor that isen't your 144hz, they will bottleneck the performance of the 144hz monitor, because windows are running some 3d bullshit "like obs preview" in a 60hz monitor.
Sorry bad english...
So what method wouldn't fail then? No method. All methods with obs would fail, no? If you duplicate to capture card, you'll be at 60hz so that fails the 144hz. I haven't found a game that has failed this method. I haven't played every game but I haven't found one that's failed me. Playing full screen and borderless.
The audio in the video when switching from PC to room is very jaring, but great video. Really helped a lot
Yeah, I'm working on improving the quality. I recorded some other videos that I wasn't happy with. So I have to figure out something for future videos. Eventually we will have superb quality here! Thanks for understanding in the meantime :)
Thank you!
So I see you had the right ideas, but lack of plan. Still a good video
What if my gaming monitor was 155hz?
Doesn't matter. This setup will allow you to use any hz you want without effecting stream.
@@Diff3RentViews Love the fast reply
Right place, right time. :) I try my best.
great video, helped alot so far ! i still dont have sound tho, i want to hear the game on my headphones and send it to the streaming pc, what i dont want to send is whats coming over discord (my friends dont want to be heard) and i have no clue what u did with that voice meeter, one click wasnt enough for me to catch on haha. can you help with that? thanks !
I put the discord on a separate audio channel. With the hdmi audio, everything that goes to the default audio gets sent through the cable. So if you take the discord audio off the default audio, it will not be sent.
You don't need voice meter. If you want to pass the sound you can set all sources on OBS of the gaming computer to "Monitor and Output" and then on windows you set the output source of OBS to the capture card HDMI. Not every headset works well with voice meter. yes Razer I am looking at you with your stupid THX audio, great headsets though :)
Hopefully this will help anyone following the guide and having delay issues with voice meter.
Seem like a really cool guy I’ll definitely be stopping by the streams.
Thanks man! I hope you enjoy your stay. Feel free to ask me anything there too. :)
I still think its weird to use to PCs but it’s way better
It's not that weird. It is waaayyyy better I like the separation it gives. I really enjoy being able to restart my gaming pc while still talking to me chat. I've had to do that a few times.
True
i dont even have an option for elgato to click on... xD
I think you know how to install something......... BUT ILL TELL YOU ANYWAY.
orra esse cara ensinou bem
bro you complicate things more than they should
thx
shld prolly write the steps down then make the video off ur paper. Need a pot of coffee to keep up with u being all over the place
It looks like you have installed someone else's eyeballs. Weird.
lol to je panelak ? 🤣
Horrible video bro. u dont say which pc you started with streaming or pc. waste of time wow
