I cannot thank you enough for this. I am techy, but was certainly overwhelmed trying to get started selling my sports cards. You helped me more than you can imagine. Thank you so much! 53 years old, laid off after 19 years and looking to try and make some income. You helped more than you can imagine.
the audio is moving in my obs even clicking vb cable when starting stream my viewers dont hear any audio and in test stream I cannot hear no audio so no echo? need help????
When I get on the Whatnot on the live stream portion, The OBS visual camera does not show as an option. I did click start virtual steaming beforehand as well.
Ryan, an issue I am facing is that when I go to the stream settings my OBS camera is not an option at all. I followed every step of your video and not sure what I did wrong. Thanks for your time.
this is literally the best video I have found on information for this! Even Whatnot customer support couldn't really answer my questions or point me in the right direction... instead they just kept emailing me article after article and that wasn't helpful!
This tutorial was FANTASTIC! I use OBS for general streaming on TH-cam. I can now create a Whatnot profile in OBS and sell on Whatnot using OBS. I can also use my Streamdeck. Thank you for this.
Hey hey! You would use stream deck the same way you’ve always been using it, except you would have to duplicate your Whatnot scene and add whatever you want to the duplicated scene so that the format is all the same. Now you can add whatever you want to your scenes and add the Shortcuts to stream deck. Keep in mind you cannot use audio. Audio is Done through the microphone through the Whatnot website. You would only be using OBS for the virtual camera for visuals.
hey man when i do a test stream i can hear the music and my mic but the stream and the people watching can only hear me and no music i don't known what's happening or i will get the sound from my desktop but then its super distorted and has a loud ringing like interference and i do not have the stream open on the desktop i am recording
I would start by double checking the advanced audio properties in obs and then also check you are using the correct input when streaming. If those are the same check you monitor output device.
Hi Ryan! I hope this message finds you well. I have a question regarding my client's live stream on Whatnot. I created an overlay for him, but the output on the app is different from the output on the web. When watching on the web, the overlay appears too small, while on the app, it appears too big and gets cut off. I'm not sure how this happened because I created the overlay in a 9:16 aspect ratio with a resolution of 1080x1920. Could you help me figure out what went wrong?
@@02wayner I ended up uninstalling/reinstalling and updating the go pro webcam app. After a couple of tries it just ended up working. No clue if this will help you because my app was already up to date when I was having issues.
I am getting a lot of different things happening on my obs and on whatnot. My video didn't come in sideways like yours did when I switched to my webcam. Think I pretty much figured out the obs part of it but I do not have an option to test my stream on whatnot and it's kind of frustrating me. Just want to make sure it's working before I have my first show on Saturday
@RyanStochinsky would it be possible to get an updated video on how to set up obs with whatnot? I can get things to "connect" to whatnot but it never grabs my OBS it always grabs the logitec webcam and not my virtual cam with the scene i made.
So I can get my audio desktop music to work but when I use my mic and desktop audio for music. Whatnot show only picks up desktop music not mic for show so I can tune in
I am trying to use continuity camera fr OBS. However there is no way to zoom out of the iphone camera. I am trying to get my recording to fit within whatnot's center of canvas. However anyway that I choose to resize it, I can only stretch it out to weirdly fit it, or I have to cut out majority of what my iphone camera is picking up.
I am running into several issues that are not explained here. I have tried several phones that freeze when I go live on whatnot through obs. Having major issues with the screen fitting to the proper size and being zoomed in. Not user friendly by any means.
One question. So is your card cam a Logitech webcam that you've got set up with some type of arm holding it to the table? Just trying to picture in my head what your actual setup looks like for that.
Great question! My camera sits on top of a super clamp that attaches to my desk. I prefer the low angle looking up at the cards, but some people also use mic arms and things like it to go for the top-down look.
Thank you so much for this video! Now I'm having trouble getting the OBS to connect to my whatnot account. in settings under stream, I don't know what to put for service, server, and server key
My desktop audio is picking up exactly what my mic/aux Channel is picking up and when I try to play music , I can't hear it after it's been recorded. I've done several test recordings and I just hear super echoing from my mic.
so I downloaded vb audio but it doesn't show up in the advance monitoring. it also doesn't let me put default and desktop audio is only allows disabled
Hey Ryan, I'm setting up OBS and after installation there's no service as Whatnot to select to stream too. Also, if I use custom where do I find my streaming key? For server all I did was type in my ipv4. I also have remote servers I can connect too and can I just input ip and port?
Hello, every time I try to start virtual camera, I get the following error. I am using an iPhone 15 pro Max. "An error has occured while installing the virtual camera: OBS cannot install the virtual camera if it's not in "/Applications". Please move OBS to the "/Applications" directory" Any advice? Thank you!
When I have vb cable selected the music wont show on streaming. when i go into my apple laptop settings and change the audio output to that vb cable it seems like it works but the Problem is I cant hear any music at all, but other people who stream me, can. I did this with whatnot
I for the life of me cant get my output video to show up in what not with the correct size my iphone video is super zoomed in. Anyway to adjust my iphone camera so its not so zoomed in?
Great video only question is there is no stream link or anything to link your obs to whatnot like you don’t click start streaming on obs like you would for twitch youtube etc? Just click start virtual camera?
Great help i hjave set up obs for a different platform so i have the general knowledge. Question what is the dimensions of the main "card screen" i have the template but do not understand the other. i am using a logitec webcam for the main camera.
Im using a logi webcam not phone,i cant seem to get it to vertical mode with transform, its still wide angle horizontal, or just flips it different ways and rotating. what am i doing wrong?
First off, great video and very informative! I learned a lot, but one thing I can’t get is when I plug my webcam and/or iPhone into obs it automatically fills the 1920x1080 frame in widescreen mode. Then when I go to shape it like you did for whatnot both camera views are getting black borders around each . All you had to do was rotate yours but both my cameras are in widescreen mode and I can’t make them vertical without sacrificing a lot of the camera view with the black borders. If anyone can help it would be deeply appreciated! Thank you!
i am struggling, i missed wheere you added the caamera as secfond source. obs wont find my camera so I can work on my computer while steam from my phone
VB didn't work but the same instructions work with Blackhole 2ch. I just can't monitor what I'm hearing from the computer, so I have no idea what people are hearing or not hearing. Don't know what to do about that.
Hi Ryan - Great video! Unfortunately, when I go to my whatnot test stream, I see the video feed just fine but I hear no audio (which I guess I should be hearing!). Right now I only have my Sony ZV1 camera attached to OBS and which I've attached an external mic. By the way is the external mic something that should show up as an audio device in OBS? At the moment all I see is a reference to the ZV1 microphone when I tried to add the external mic to OBS! I am pulling my hair out here - can you offer any suggestions as to what might be going wrong here?
Also experiencing this same thing. I configured Virtual Audio cable exactly as instructed but cannot seem to get it to work. Switching back to my microphone as a single input seems to work fine though.
Great video, Ryan! thanks. Hey I got everything set up the way you suggest, the mic sound is low quality and hard to understand once it gets into Whatnot. Any idea what am i missing?
Hey! Not sure if you read these comments but I have All new software on my MAC and Iphone so it's now using the Continuity Camera. That wont let me change orientations to have the iPhone show up in anything but 16:9. Have you seen a solve for this?
right ive tried everything and i have input and output when i send it to my headphones nothing is muted yet i go in my stream and have 0 audio can someone help plz ive spent 2 days tryna fix this
Watching this 2 years (!) after the fact and everything stops for me at DL the VB Audio Cable as that zip file is no longer compat with Win10/11. BUMMER as I tried another VB Cable installer and OBS did not seem to recognize that, as well. Any help for a new Seller?
When I go to whatnot to select my camera, OBS Virtual Camera does not show up as an option. Only my web camera is there. Yes, I have virtual camera selected on OBS.
i followed all the instructions and my face cam isnt showing up on whatnot. on my osb the frame is the right size, my cam is showing me in the frame but on whatnot its not showing my facecam, what do i do?
Is there a way to listen to the music that I’m streaming as well through headphones or anything? As I’m in silence when I follow these instructions otherwise everything works amazing
How do I use my phone as the card cam and the webcam as the face came? Is it possible? I have a microphone as well does it still apply the same way if I use my phone as card cam?
question, so in this set up are you using two webcams? I'm using an iPhone 13 pro for my main focus and then a webcam for my face. my question is Im using a yeti plugged in my iPhone for now, I was wondering if this audio set up is better or should I do something like yours?
A yeti straight into an iPhone is great! The only benefit of using obs in terms of audio is you can active things like noise gates and eq to help with background noise and get the most outta the microphone. But your setup is already far past the average user.
How do I get my voice out of the headphones. Music is pumped into the stream and I can hear it on the headphones, but I hear my voice as well on a delay and drives me crazy.
when i create my test stream i am seeing "open stream" where yours says start stream. Also when i start the test it only shows my webcams as video options nothing with obs. Please help me resolve this.
I need to check my settings again. I've been having a issue of my mic not working. I didn't change any setting and it just stopped working. I can either get my desktop sound to work and not my mic or vice-versa can't have both at the same time.
Having an issue where Whatnot is not catching my desktop audio. I have watched this video 3 times so I am not sure what the problem it. Whatnot wont pick up my music from itunes (desktop audio)
literally not one thing here worked for me , 1920x 1000 the camera shuts off. it doesnt fit the whatnot stream and is zoomed in like crazy, only on whatnot the quality drops with crazy pixels zoom no focus . If im center on obs its not center on whatnot , this has bin a pain lol
Did you ever get it working, the issue I have is the screen on OBS looks great but on Whatnot its zoomed , wish whatnot would add horizonal maybe that would help these issues?

congratulations man! that's awesome! thanks for watching the video!

The lighting in this video was fantastic, nice work brother.
Hi, Thank you for the freat info but i am stuck on the part + video capture i named it iphone but how do i connect my iphone to the OBS?
why would you not just change your video settings to 1080x1920?
I don't see whatnot on the choice of platforms to stream with. Need a stream key? Trying to connect laptop cam and webcam to obs and whatnot.
Did you end up figuring this out?
Hi, Love the content. Canyon help me with getting rid of echo and the mute button on whatnot, what does it mute or do? New user Thanks
Another thing is not all cameras have the Zoom out option. Especially for those who break with a stage and have multiple hits there.
Where can I get the template?
This tutorial was FANTASTIC! I use OBS for general streaming on TH-cam. I can now create a Whatnot profile in OBS and sell on Whatnot using OBS. I can also use my Streamdeck. Thank you for this.
