4. Setting Up OBS
The second thing you'll have to
do is open OBS [32-bit(I'll
explain why later)] right click on
the sources box and scroll over
Add>Game Capture, then select
your game via the drop down
menu at the top.
5. Game Capture and Preview Stream
Hit 'preview stream' and make
alt tab back into and out of your
game. You should now see your
game screen in the windows of
obs. This is what your stream
would look like if you were to
begin streaming to Twitch.
6. GGTV stuff to add
Next we need to add the
watermark for GGTV. This is
achieved by right-clicking on
sources and again>add>image.
Next, click browse and find the
image that you download from
here: http://imgur.com/KUIt3iq
After that click 'edit scene' and
move it where it will be
somewhat visible, but will not
interfere with the stream.
7. SETTINGS
Something you'll probably have
to change is your bitrate and
resolution. Ideally we'll be going
for 720p/1080p but people with
lower than 2mb upload might
have to use 480p.
So go to
settings>settings>encoding and
change your bitrate to about
1000*(.75*( your upload speed))
My upload is 3mb/s so my
bitrate is like 2200.
Remember this for the next step
8. Resolution Downscale
Now go to Settings>Video and
click the dropdown next to
resolution downscale
If your bitrate is 2000 or greater:
choose to scale down to
1280x720 or something around
that.
If your bitrate is less than 2000:
choose to scale down to 853x480
or something around that.
9. Scripts and Plugins
There are 3 plugins you'll need for streaming.
1.) Chatty: A Java plugin that brings up a window of everyone viewing your stream and
shows the chat. I use this to welcome new viewers and monitor the chat. You can find
it here.
2.) Either UNP Now Playing or Now Playing (winapps): Use this if you plan on playing
music on stream so that others can see the song that is currently playing. If you plan on
using a desktop app use this, if you plan on playing music through a web app (Pandora,
last.fm, etc.) then use this. Instructions are located on those pages as to how to
use them.
3.) CLR browser: This plugin allows us to add a notification for when someone new
follows the channel. It can be found here. IMPORTANT NOTE: This only works with
the 32-bit version of OBS so make sure to use that!
Using Chatty and a Now Playing script are pretty easy, but CLR is a little more
complicated, so I'll be explaining how to use it in the next slide.
10. CLR Browser
Open OBS (32-bit!!) and rightclick on the sources
box>add>CLR Browser
A screen will pop-up next, you
need to paste the link
http://www.nightdev.com/hosted/follower-alert/?
channel=guild_gaming_tv&type=customcentered&alert=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com
%2F5zjylCc.png&sound=5909
into the box labeled 'URL' and
set width to 580 and height to
110.
After it is added, click 'edit
scene' and move it to the top
center of your screen.`
