Course Description

This OBS tutorial (short for Open Broadcaster Software tutorial) will be of great benefit to people who want to know how to use OBS to start to record and stream videos for Youtube, Twitch and other similar video websites. I use OBS for recording and streaming, and I have learnt from experience that this is the best app just for this purpose.

  • How to use OBS to record screencasts, presentations and even games for YouTube or related projects.

  • How to record with OBS with optimal video quality and output size.
  • How to use hotkeys and optimize other settings to make your recording sessions easier.

  • Learn how to filter out backgrounds with Chroma Key and a green screen.
  • Learn to control audio with noise filters and use gates for a better quality.
  • Learn how to edit videos with OBS, specifically how to edit your microphone audio and desktop audio in post-production by separating your audio into multiple output channels.

How to Use OBS - Beginner's Guide

In this OBS tutorial, you will learn how to install correctly, setup, and use OBS. There are the basics you have to know to succeed, for example: how to change your FPS to 60, how to set proper hotkeys, how to use Chroma Key technology and green screen to filter out the background.

You will learn how to stream with OBS. A talking head style set up on a webcam is excellent for doing live streams, creating a presentation or recording games. Record audio with separate audio tracks and set up OBS noise filters and learn how to setup noise gate in OBS for microphone audio. Finally, find the correct upload bitrate for streaming.

This tutorial will cover not only OBS! You will learn a lot about all kinds of related programs and apps that will help you in post-production. Learn how to set up audio editing tool Audacity and how to use Audacity with OBS. Use IP Webcam to record your phone inside of OBS on your computer. Finally, there's AirDrop, which connects your phone and lets you transfer files and capture the screen.
