Please, please, please can someone tell me how to get a setup like this working? Is there a guide somewhere? I’m not . too tech savvy but our recordings have been on the [crap] google hangouts that dance back and forth between people whenever someone breathes too heavily into the mic. O’ve toyed with OBS, managed to create layouts and hook up one viewer to it, but only one person. Can anyone walk me through this like I’m a six year old? I’m a mac user. (I am jealous of your organised setup)
This crew looks like a bunch of badasses 😉
Adam Brimmer So, basics, you’ll need OBS Studio (free), or Xsplit (paid), most ppl use OBS. You need something with good audio and camera support, Skype (free), Zoom ($15/mth), we use zoom. You ideally need a 2 screen pc setup but its possible without it. You get people on the call then prep the stream setup by screen capturing each camera into OBS (basically you draw a window around each camera and trim it into OBS, thats moderately complex). Then you tell OBS to stream to twitch via your stream key (from twitch) but OBS can also save locally for upload into youtube etc.
Thanks a lot David. We have OBS, Skype and a multiscreen setup. 1. how do you get multiple cameras into OBS? I managed to sync a window to one person and that’s it. 2. What’s the benefit of Zoom? 3. Do you need twitch (we’re not trying to build a following, mostly just have the recordings for posterity). 4. Is xp being overrated a belief or something you tell your players?
1. Use the “window capture” option, build multiple window captures in the sources, called each one something like cam_player_name, hold Alt when using the ancors to crop each camera source down to just the players camera. 2. Better audio/video quality. 3. no, with obs studio you can record locally as well. 4 XP is overrated 🙂
Thanks for the advice on all counts – will give it a shot.
hi, David Gardiner. Is it possible to set this up for my players and not for an audience?
