Joe, this is a great presentation. I'm a 71-year-old retiree just getting into OBS from a hobbyist point of view. This video is the kind of overview I've been looking for. Thank you very much for sharing the information. Onward and upward.
40-year teacher transitioning online. I have checked out four other expert tutorials: yours is hands down the clearest and easiest for newbies. Well done indeed!
So fucking wholesome to watch a tutorial by someone who knows how to TEACH stuff. Came for green screen and learned a gazillion other things I didn't even dare to touch before. Instant go-to channel. And this is before I even got to the green screen section.
Hope you all are safe and well. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching it. Was really considering ManyCam, but not anymore. I found out that you can add a countdown timer which is already built into OBS (latest version of obs). What you need to do first is add a "Text" to your Sources, name it (Timer) for convenience, and then configure it the way you like (write anything in text to see how it looks - you can choose impact font with biggest size to get good quality). Then in OBS, go to Tools menu and select "Scripts", hit the "+" sign and select "countdown.lua"; when it's added, make sure to select it on the panel you see. Add the time you want and in "Text Source" parameter, select the Text source you added to sources in the first step so that the timer can use the font, size, etc that you configured the text source to use. Toggle the preview (studio mode) to see it in action.
This was extremely helpful in setting up my PBS and green screen for my webinar presentation. Best of the videos out there on this topic and you have an easy voice to listen to and slowly step through without going to fast. I set everything up in about an hour. You are awesome!!
11 minutes in and I've already decided this has taught me more about OBS that all of the other videos I've watched. Thank you for this Joe..You are the man...
Hi Joe, I'm watching this tutorial again and struggling to understand the virtual cam setup. why the need for one, what's it actually used for and where do I find it to be able to use it..
If people are using Mac.. don't forget to give permission in settings/security and privacy/ privacy/screen recording and click on OBS. If not you will just get a black screen. Great video Joe!
I "very" like, Joe. So nice to have a tutorial video in which you can actually understand what the guy's actually saying; your repeating of the steps is a big help, too. Do they call that "good teachin'? Ithink so... yep!
Fantastic video. Comfortable to watch. I learned a few things, I had never tried dragging and dropping an image to the preview side. We learn something everyday!
Great introduction to OBS. You are an excellent communicator, your students are very lucky to have you in their learning experience. I am guessing you streaming skills have been an enormous benefit to you and your cohorts over the lock-down.
Joe you rock! I looked at your video "Learn OBS" and truthfully felt a bit overwhelmed since I thought it would be distracting to make additions or adjustments while in a class teaching. This video has shown me that I can make preset scenes and use them for my background. I am really excited to use it today for the first time! Thank you so much for all of your instruction and clear, simple to understand explanations. Now that I have a feel for it I am planning to go back and revisit the other video and hopefully add these wonderful dimensions to my teaching. Thanks again for all you've done!
incredibly useful guidance on OBS, Joe, and to think, I've had OBS for years without knowing a fraction of what you just covered here, a bunch of thanks!
Hello Joe, as for drawing on the screen, I am sure there is probably an obs plugin for this, but here is a life hack to get it done, what you need is any graphics manipulation program, photoshop, gimp mspaint etc. Next do a separate window capture in obs set it to capture your graphics program, then go into filters add a crop filter and crop out the interface of the program, next create a Green canvas, you can probably see where this is going, then go back to obs and activate the chroma key filter on the window capture then its as easy as doodling in the graphics program in any other color other then green or whatever you have the chroma filter set to.
Thanks for this, Joe, I think you've helped a lot of teachers here improve the professionalism of their e-classrooms! Until today I had some laminated ITG logos on my wall which unfortunately reflected in the sunlight from my window, now I've got this working and have been able to create a really nice look and feel to my class. Cheers matey bubbles.
FINALLY! A tutorial I was able to understand, follow, not lose interest or fall asleep! I Really appreciate your info and the time spent explaining . Watched your Complete OBS Tutorial for teachers, Trainers, and Video Makers. Thanks BTW. your are adorable! =)
Digital backdrop enthusiasts/newbies (at iTutorGroup)! Here are some resources (including the kid-friendly backdrop I made myself!): tinyurl.com/yh2cy256
Just joined iTutor and your videos have been the biggest help! Stopped me from pulling my hair out regarding virtual backgrounds and gave me a good laugh. My guy!
Thank you so much for this! I'm a new teacher at itutor group and have never done online classes etc and wanted to try using a green screen! This is so helpful! Thank you!!
OMG! Sir Joe this was such a great and informative Tutorial! I just discovered the OBS Software. I am a Musician/Music Teacher and I thought there must be a Software that can capture my Laptop Screen... I put in a search and OBS grabbed my attention! It is so complicated haha however I've been doing what I can. I found your Video a short while ago and wow! I feel I can do this!!! Thank you so much for sharing as your Video is the best Video by far on OBS and Screen Recording that I have seen so far. Thumbs and Fingers up Sir - absolutely marvelous indeed and in deed! Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this great easy break down of OBS .I’ve even shared it on my channel playlist to refresh on these great tips during using the program
Thanks for another excellent video Joe. I watched your other video “Learn OBS quick & easy” two weeks ago. But, I was not able to get anything to show in ‘preview’. I spent many hours searching for a solution to no avail. I just watched this video to discover what would be possible, if only I could get it working. THE SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM WAS AT 7:19 OF THIS VIDEO. Now, it’s working great, and I can start to learn. Thank You
Nice tutorial Joe, It's kind of funny how the sound became a bit hollowed as if talking thru a pipe when you added the 2nd scene with desktop.. Sounded much better before you did that, as you might have noticed your 2nd mic readout showing you talking as well. should have turned the second mic setting down so your sound stay nice... anyway. not to pic. I would like ask. I play a game that can be windowed or full screen no mater what I try doing I cant capture the game in the game option. I have to use the window select option. I would really like to use jest the game capture option if you know how., could you direct me to a link showing it's settings. my game is Cities Skylines. Hope you can share. as I am sure others are also trying to use jest the game capture option...
Yeah, I messed up the audio there. Oops! Haha. Sorry about that. You should be able to capture the game whether in full-screen or windowed. Make sure you open OBS as an administrator and try opening it with your integrated/dedicated graphics card as I show in the video also.
Thanks for the clear tutorial man! Just downloaded OBS to try out and wanted to play around with the green screen. This made the process much more clear to me! Cheers!
Oh glad to help, I'm new to OBS myself. I have been using it to stream our church services . I'm currently searching for my own creative content for a personal stream. Keep up the great work and if I can be of anyother assistance please feel free to chat. Take care.
Excellent! One can see from how you make the video that you are a teacher! Learned a few things about OBS. Will now go and look for a sheet of green material! Also your diction is excellent.. 😉
Awesome little video thank you, I prefer ManyCam I believe that makes my skin tone look a lot better. And I like the way that you can sync the voice up nicely when recording in 4K
Question...I am learning a lot from watching this, but I notice that you have a preview and program screen showing and when I open OBS on my laptop, I am only seeing one screen...how do I get both a preview and program screen to show on mine...I am just learning how to do this
OBS learning curve seems greater than ManyCam. Also, the current ManyCam allows for drag and drop graphics, whole drag and drop of a PowerPoint presentation, and use of hardware acceleration. You might want to do a new evaluation in light of ManyCam’s improvements. However, all that being said, very good tutorial of OBS!
Ahh.. Thank you for this. It is very easy to follow your "green screen" technique with OBS Studio now that I know I have to also download and install OBS-Virtual Camera plugin. Did not realize there was one so I actually tried Many Cam and other paid virtual background apps out there. I bought my green drape from Amazon and I think I am good to go. I am now a happy camper!! Thank you Open Source Software geeks and nerds worldwide for real software for FREE!!
Incredible video. One important question I can think of is... does it matter how zoomed in you are when recording your face with the green screen behind you? I am guessing that as long as the green screen covers the four corners of what your camera sees, that you can basically make your face smaller by resizing that footage, put yourself in a corner, and then using the picture or video you want and place it over the green screen part of the video... But if you resize yourself, aren't you also resizing the amount of green screen? Or does it not matter and as long as the green screen is in the video, then whatever program you use, it will detect the whole screen as one using a green screen and it will apply it to the whole ratio and you can make yourself smaller and put yourself in the corner, while the whole screen is the background? Sorry if I am not making too much sense... I guess I will try different things and see what works best. I will get OBS because Adobe Premiere Pro is $20.99 a month and I would only use it for the green screen and I wouldn't pay that much just to occasionally edit a green screen video once in a blue moon lolol Thanks again and cheers!!!
Cheers. It's best to record yourself at high resolution and big if you want to chroma key the green out, if you shrink yourself there'll be "less quality green" for the software to work with, I guess. But yeah, just resize it after recording, no worries.
@@JoeMilneEnglish ahhh so chroma is basically the program recognizing all the green and separating it from myself? So I'll not zoom in so much so there's leftover green on the ends. But what about a program that I can use for implementing the green screen that's free? Thanks for the response though!!! Cheers
Words failed me on how to express my gratitude to Joe for what he did in personally putting me through the OBS. Honestly i haven't seen that level of humility. I don't know any You Tuber who will give up his time to come online and share another person's screen to put one through in such circumstance. As a matter of fact, most You Tubers don't even respond to inquiries let alone attend personally to any viewer. Joe I really appreciate you. God bless and increase you.
Hey, thank you so, so much for this comment. I might even frame it haha. I shared it on my Instagram. It was my pleasure to help you out. Feel free to reach out if you ever need anything else. 😊
You’ve probably guessed I’m watching a lot of your videos because all of them are simply ACE!!! Can I ask you something though - I understand how to use green screen and adjust the background - you have sorted that for me. But how can I do say me and a powerpoint or screen share I am showing at the same time. I don’t want to record two separate video clips (one of me, one of say screen share) - so is there a way to do it all in one at the same time? I hope this makes sense.
Hey Joe, I want to ask, when I start working for an online tutoring company, can I pick any software I want ? And if the companies have their own prescribed video-call software for their employees, what is the most common ones ?
Hi Joe, new fan here! A big thanks for all your time and effort put into sharing this content. Genuine material there with fun humor:) Keep up the great work on building this channel! I can really see the artistic and creative side as well with the videos. I was wondering if you could also help clarify (being that you're really happy with OSB) if it's possible to teach online for iTutorGroup using this OBS software? Their websites recommends Manycam and on many of your vids it's what you use as well. Not sure if that's something iTutor insists on or eventually would due to the lack of features you mentioned on OBS (when you're doing all the writing in class, can't tell if that's done with the iTutor platform or Manycam software for example) What do you think? Is it necessary to invest in that Manycam lifetime studio price to teach for them online? Much appreciated!!
Excellent tutorial on OBS. Having just "started" trying to use it, I found some really good solutions...Still a work in progress for me, but I keep going back to the keys you give. Thanks. Will keep checking in til I finally get it...
Great video, Joe. Love it. Especially Your green screen explanation and I loved seeing that obs take such little computing power. Drawing and handwriting in obs: add a window source with a drawing program like autodesk sketchbook- you will need some pen and tablet e.g.from wacom - then You can handwrite or draw in OBS. I use it like a spontaneous flipchart in my online teaching. If You like it as an overlay, use a chromakey filter. Thanks to Your video I just got the idea. Thanks. 😁 For timer / stopwatch create a video with the time running. Than add it as a scene or a source in overlay. Let me know if it works for You. Thanks again for the great explanations. Rob
Hi, The reason that your Desktop is not showing most likely has to do with your graphics card not being fully compatible with the OBS Studio software. Aparently, OBS Studio's command to perform that task does not trigger a specific CPU Register responsible to perform tasks one of which is what you are trying to do. If you contact the manufacturer's support line and explain this issue they probably have a patch or an update that would address this issue. Ulternatively you can go to their site and see if they have a software upgrade for your card that fixes your issue.
Joe, this is quite useful information to listen to and learn how to use OBS and ManyCam. I tried my recording using OBS and a small pop message comes up saying, "Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details.." What could the problem be?
When you were comparing your CPU usage between the OBS and ManyCam, it looks like the reason OBS' CPU usage was lower than ManyCam was that OBS was using the graphics card whereas ManyCam was not using the graphics card. Perhaps you need to change a graphics card setting to allow ManyCam to use the graphics card?
Unsure if you've done an updated version of this, but you can add timers and alsorts to obs by downloading extensions 😉 and then you can use hotkeys to start and stop them ^_^
Sir Joe, the Web Cam has to be cropped using the Crop/Pad found in the Filters Menu however using the Chroma Key still covers the Foreground as well as the Background...
Hey, thanks for the Qs. I'm going to be working on a complete OBS guide soon. It'll include setting it up for a Mac. I'm not currently sure on how to do it, but you could check some forums and Google around a bit. It does work, just I don't use a Mac.
its a great video, I LOVE IT. pleas can make more similar showing how to add different background or actual moving video and u being still on screen with the vindow box.
Hey! Thank you for this wonderful video! But I couldn't get how did you make your background transparent? There's nothing behind you. How did you do that?
Joe, this is a great presentation. I'm a 71-year-old retiree just getting into OBS from a hobbyist point of view. This video is the kind of overview I've been looking for. Thank you very much for sharing the information. Onward and upward.
Tucks so much!

If people are using Mac.. don't forget to give permission in settings/security and privacy/ privacy/screen recording and click on OBS. If not you will just get a black screen. Great video Joe!
Thanks for that!
This might be one of the best video tutorials on TH-cam for any particular kind of thing

Best, most non-frenetic OBS tutorial I’ve seen all day… And I’ve seriously been burning through all of them all day.

Words failed me on how to express my gratitude to Joe for what he did in personally putting me through the OBS. Honestly i haven't seen that level of humility. I don't know any You Tuber who will give up his time to come online and share another person's screen to put one through in such circumstance. As a matter of fact, most You Tubers don't even respond to inquiries let alone attend personally to any viewer. Joe I really appreciate you. God bless and increase you.
Hey, thank you so, so much for this comment. I might even frame it haha. I shared it on my Instagram. It was my pleasure to help you out. Feel free to reach out if you ever need anything else. 😊
Thank you so much for explaining obs in easy way
I'm going to do a new video soon. 😊
Nice tutorial. Are you recording with your sony camera + camlink or with your webcam? Image has such a good quality.
Just with the webcam. Logitech C922 Stream Pro. Link is in the description.
how do I the two top screens? Preview and Program. Thanks. Great presentation.
Click "Studio Mode" :)
Thanks. Be safe.
Don't forget that OBS has live text feed. So you can have a text overlay and type and save what you want to display.
Yep, true!
Thank you for your presentation, it is very useful. For the Green Screen topic, can you present the application at the Zoom Meeting and Google Meeting
You can. 😊
Very good Sir Joe Handsome. Thank you so much 💕 even though I'm not yet familiar in OBS, I'll try again to watch your tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
good stuff bro thanks i I'm onto another rabbit hole with youuu thanks for your knowledge!
Thanks dude! New video on OBS here: th-cam.com/video/wO2gswOEVAQ/w-d-xo.html
You can the timers on obs it's in the folders of the problem its self in obs. Look in the folders.
It's not a great one imo, though.
Very good video. You are thorough and understandable now all I need is a laptop pc instead of a android phone, lol
Thanks a lot, Robert.
Great tutorial and review. Such a calm and excellent explanatory approach. Very impressive. Thanks
Hey thanks a lot, Maurice.
You’ve probably guessed I’m watching a lot of your videos because all of them are simply ACE!!! Can I ask you something though - I understand how to use green screen and adjust the background - you have sorted that for me. But how can I do say me and a powerpoint or screen share I am showing at the same time. I don’t want to record two separate video clips (one of me, one of say screen share) - so is there a way to do it all in one at the same time? I hope this makes sense.
Thanks! You can do it all in OBS, yeah! I have an OBS guide th-cam.com/video/wO2gswOEVAQ/w-d-xo.html
Hey Joe, I want to ask, when I start working for an online tutoring company, can I pick any software I want ?
And if the companies have their own prescribed video-call software for their employees, what is the most common ones ?
Usually the companies have platforms that they want you to use. 😊
@@JoeMilneEnglish Ok, what is the most common one to your knowledge ? I started playing around with Zoom and enjoyed it.
Zoom and ClassIn maybe.
Some helpful stuff there. I would really appreciate a comprehensive tut on how to do a prerecorded livestream to Facebook.
Good idea. You'd use a video source on OBS to stream the pre-recorded video.
@@JoeMilneEnglish Hey bro, thanks for coming back. I have tried but it did not work and I could not find a really comprehensive tutorial on it.
Hi Joe, new fan here! A big thanks for all your time and effort put into sharing this content. Genuine material there with fun humor:) Keep up the great work on building this channel! I can really see the artistic and creative side as well with the videos. I was wondering if you could also help clarify (being that you're really happy with OSB) if it's possible to teach online for iTutorGroup using this OBS software? Their websites recommends Manycam and on many of your vids it's what you use as well. Not sure if that's something iTutor insists on or eventually would due to the lack of features you mentioned on OBS (when you're doing all the writing in class, can't tell if that's done with the iTutor platform or Manycam software for example) What do you think? Is it necessary to invest in that Manycam lifetime studio price to teach for them online? Much appreciated!!
I use OBS Studio now, I quit ManyCam! So, yes!
GREAT VIDEO...Yes there are timers in OBS
Good to know!
Excellent tutorial on OBS. Having just "started" trying to use it, I found some really good solutions...Still a work in progress for me, but I keep going back to the keys you give. Thanks. Will keep checking in til I finally get it...
Glad it helped! I think this new video will really help you: th-cam.com/video/wO2gswOEVAQ/w-d-xo.html
Great job...thx for the virtual cam plugin too!
No problem!
Easy to understand for beginners, thanks a lot.
Cheers!
Great video, Joe. Love it. Especially Your green screen explanation and I loved seeing that obs take such little computing power.
Drawing and handwriting in obs: add a window source with a drawing program like autodesk sketchbook- you will need some pen and tablet e.g.from wacom - then You can handwrite or draw in OBS. I use it like a spontaneous flipchart in my online teaching. If You like it as an overlay, use a chromakey filter. Thanks to Your video I just got the idea. Thanks. 😁
For timer / stopwatch create a video with the time running. Than add it as a scene or a source in overlay. Let me know if it works for You. Thanks again for the great explanations. Rob
Amazing ideas!! I have a Wacom too! Thanks, bro!
@@JoeMilneEnglish You are very welcome. Your presention gave me new ideas for my lessons too. ;-)
Perfect!
Hi,
The reason that your Desktop is not showing most likely has to do with your graphics card not being fully compatible with the OBS Studio software. Aparently, OBS Studio's command to perform that task does not trigger a specific CPU Register responsible to perform tasks one of which is what you are trying to do. If you contact the manufacturer's support line and explain this issue they probably have a patch or an update that would address this issue. Ulternatively you can go to their site and see if they have a software upgrade for your card that fixes your issue.
This might help too: th-cam.com/video/wO2gswOEVAQ/w-d-xo.html
Joe your vlog is useful, if we use screen sharing with OBS , we can use the pointer option of PowerPoint as marker
Interesting, thanks!
Excellent tutorial Jon, just have one question, is it possible to share PowerPoint presentations using OSB?
Thanks, it's Joe, not Jon. 😅 Yes, you cna sharw ppts by sharing your open ppt as a window source.
If you could bring the functions up closer so we can see the screen would be a great help.
I suggest making sure you're watching the video in 1080p. It'll help. 😊
You can draw on OBS by using a program like Krita or photoshop and display capture it while you draw on it.
Yep, true!
Joe, this is quite useful information to listen to and learn how to use OBS and ManyCam. I tried my recording using OBS and a small pop message comes up saying, "Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details.." What could the problem be?
I'm not sure, sorry.
When you were comparing your CPU usage between the OBS and ManyCam, it looks like the reason OBS' CPU usage was lower than ManyCam was that OBS was using the graphics card whereas ManyCam was not using the graphics card. Perhaps you need to change a graphics card setting to allow ManyCam to use the graphics card?
I realised this not long ago. I didn't know ManyCam has a GPU setting. Still, I think OBS uses much less resources than ManyCam, in my experience.
Thanks for sharing!
This is very helpful. Is it possible to use the camera in my laptop with OBS to produce a decent quality video? Thanks.
Yeah, it's possible. You might want to get an external camera (check the description to see what I use).
Unsure if you've done an updated version of this, but you can add timers and alsorts to obs by downloading extensions 😉 and then you can use hotkeys to start and stop them ^_^
Yep! I did a new version! Check it out! It's one of my latest videos. 😁
I shall have a looksy ^_^
Great thanks. Very clear.
Cheers, Jason!
Sir Joe, the Web Cam has to be cropped using the Crop/Pad found in the Filters Menu however using the Chroma Key still covers the Foreground as well as the Background...
Got it.
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Questions: 1). How to use virtual cam for Mac? 2). How to stream Microsoft Meeting to TH-cam using Mac? Thanks.
Hey, thanks for the Qs. I'm going to be working on a complete OBS guide soon. It'll include setting it up for a Mac. I'm not currently sure on how to do it, but you could check some forums and Google around a bit. It does work, just I don't use a Mac.
its a great video, I LOVE IT. pleas can make more similar showing how to add different background or actual moving video and u being still on screen with the vindow box.
Thanks. Might do. 😊
Simply fantastic tutorial and over all great video
Thanks a lot, Sigurdur.

amazing step by step tutorial! thank you very much ;D
Glad it helped! Cheers! ❤️
Hey! Thank you for this wonderful video! But I couldn't get how did you make your background transparent? There's nothing behind you. How did you do that?
Thanks, Pryanka. I just used the Chroma Key filter in OBS, I show you how to do that in the video. 👍😁
@@JoeMilneEnglish Got it... Thanks!
Super clear, well organized, love your smile👍
Thank you so much 😊
Super video thanks, hopefully will save me a lot of money buying something!!!
Cheers!
