How I Make My Videos: Part 4 - Live Streaming and OBS Tutorial
20This is Part 4 of my series of off-the-cuff videos covering how I make the videos you see on my channel. This episode focuses strictly on the live streaming end of things. I talk about OBS, show you around the software, and create a template live on the spot.
Here are some time codes. Naturally this was long-winded as expected, but hopefully these should help get you to specific topics that you are curious about. Also, the webcam feed is totally out of sync. It wasn't meant to be in-sync, so don't mind it. Lastly, I forgot to have the "capture cursor" option enabled, so you can't see my mouse cursor on screen. Sorry about that!
