Complete OBS Tutorial for Teachers, Trainers, and Video-makers

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

I just did a video on free overlays for OBS, it's a game-changer. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5PHnJ-Zi8SthNEsi=jW4txSZ8d4mu0swR

[@cwcowell]

One of the best instructional videos I've seen on any subject. Joe, you're a gifted teacher.

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thank you so much!

[@n.bcritical9819]

so i used this video to start my side business as a privet teacher and its awesome , this channel is downright under rated you should be at 10M subs

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Wow, thanks a lot, buddy! 😊

[@EZRockman]

I'm a new OSB user and this was great. You're a natural teacher and kept my interest all the way through.

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thank you so much!

[@JacobPhilip]

I wanted to express my gratitude for your outstanding video on OBS. I've watched numerous tutorials, but your explanation stands out. Your ability to simplify complex concepts makes it incredibly accessible, especially for a beginner like myself. After watching several videos, finding yours was a breath of fresh air. You truly have a remarkable talent for making things easy to understand.

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thank you so much!! Wow!!

[@scottylx77]

Brilliant Tutorial Joe. It's so hard these days to find tutorials on anything that are neither highly technical nor patronising. I've been slowly pushed down the road of delivering online workshops. OBS looked like the right product, less than an hour with you and not only do I know it is, but I feel like I can probably use it too. Thanks for taking the time!

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks a lot, buddy!

[@pauldixon2637]

One of the very best trainer / presenters I’ve seen on You Tube or anywhere else for that matter. Great intro to OBS. Thanks Joe. Much appreciated.

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Wow! Thank you so much!

Super glad it helped you out! Cheers!

[@CallMeJillyJilly]

I am just starting off with iTutor and I was feeling so overwhelmed until I started watching your stuff. Frankly speaking, you have saved my ass. Thank you so much for your work and breaking things down for the rest of us :)

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks so much! Very happy to hear that!

[@SirRalphT]

I watched every minute of this. Honestly, apart from the excellent content, I enjoyed listening to your calm and genuinely honest way of instruction. I give this 5💫💫💫💫💫

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks so much, Raphael.

[@rodolfosamaniego8401]

You are the 2nd one I watched studying OBS, I liked your instructions better. Thanks. U will watch you back many times until I learn it really.

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks a lot, buddy!

[@teacherralphsclassroom1549]

OBS is really very flexible and user-friendly! It has definitely made my classes more interactive and motivating. Thank you for creating this tutorial Teacher Joe!

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

@@teacherralphsclassroom1549 thank-you!

[@vassmonika_lelekzet]

Hi Joe, I just discovered your channel looking for OBS tutorials. The other commenters were right, inspite of the length of this video, I wasn't bored for a second, you are really good at explaining and keeping the audience's focus. Great job, thank you.

[@frontendtony]

I don't even have OBS installed yet, and I watched the entire thing

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

@@vassmonika_lelekzet thank you so much!

[@tomandersen7343]

Soooo good - have to follow and see all your previous tuts :)

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks a lot!

[@michaelpinder844]

Well done, Mr Milne. An English teacher with humility to say he doesn't know the intricacies of audio. I like that. This is a very well paced bit of tuition. Bravo!

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Cheers!

Hi Joe this video is really exceptionally helpful to setup OBS. After a first shot to the application I thought it will not fit for me, but with your explanations there is a chance for using it for my planned genealogy tutorials. However after some tests it looks like that I would need two monitors, one where I record from and the other to place OBS allowing to change settings e.g. swithching scenes or is there an option to assign short cuts to a scene name in order to switch between sceenes during the recording when OBS is minimized?

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Happy to help! Yes, keyboard shortcuts are a thing! Maybe a video on that would help... but you can just Google them and take a look at which ones are available.

[@LindaSmithLatimer]

The best OBS video I have seen. You speak slow enough I can actually follow along! Thank you so much!

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks, Linda!

[@exploringthewineglass]

agree 100% I could actually have a split screen and follow what Joe was saying to do vs. having to keep repeat listening to try to get it done

[@nzb415]

Thank you for doing this. I went through the steps and got OBS up and running in no time. Fantastic tutorial @Joe Milne! I do have one question and hope you can help me sort this out: my video image from the c922 is seemingly sharp when i view it in the obs studio mode panel. However, the video image in Google Meet and in Zoom when activated there is soft. I've turned off the auto-feature in the c922 via the logitech software as well as in the video processor settings in OBS. Still, my image from OBS --> Gmeet or OBS--> Zoom is soft. How can I fix this?

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

I found your comment! Sorry for missing it. I responded to your email also: Hi Ninfa, Thanks for appreciating my video! Sorry that I missed your comment on my video. I'll answer your question here. I think that I have experienced the same thing, and it's to do with Zoom and other software's video decoding (or something like that). You might want to try changing your video settings in OBS and playing around with the resolution until you find something that fits. Try both 1080p and 720p for example and see if either one of those is better. To be totally honest with you, I don't use OBS as a virtual camera in Zoom unless absolutely necessary for this reason. Let me know if that helps, though! If not, I might have to look into this a bit further and get back to you. I don't mind doing that. Cheers, Joe Milne.

[@woodprose]

Thank you Joe! This is by far the best, OBS tutorial I have found. I'm new to the platform and you make it easy to understand... AWESOME!

[@KelliVrla-EngageYou]

Thanks so much , Joe! I can see why you're a great instructor. I'm learning virtual tech as fast as I can. You really convey the info in an easy-to-use format. Virtually, Kelli V.

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks so much!

[@Mariela764]

Joe, I saw your tutorial last night. It was so helpful because today I taught my first class of this semester with OBS!!!!! I used the chroma key, image and many things that you teach in your video. I need to learn how to share videos with audio. It's a way complicated yet, but I will learn. In the meantime I am sharing my videos on Microsoft Teams that is the official platform of our university. Thanks for existing!!!!!

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Happy to help!

Might do in future. Cheers!

[@carolm3468]

i need your help bro, how can i set my video always on the screen and visible even im open any browser?

I’ve been with pinnacle for the last 25 years editing tv repair videos. I tried OBS last year but couldn’t get on with it. Your videos have helped. I think you may have sorted the timer issue. I have a special clock that my desktop grabs as a countdown before I go live. Seems ok. Thank you. I’m catching up slowly. Allen.

Excellent! The time-lapse was interesting to watch but, it would be nice to see how you did it.

[@LoanPham-wh4ep]

Thank you. Your is the best video about recording instruction with OBS. Question, you hit start recording. When you hit stop recording, where does your recorder go? there is no save. How do you preview your recording video you did? No one showed what to do after you hit stop recording. thanks

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

After you hit stop recording, it should go to your "Videos" folder on your PC. If you go to Settings > Recording in OBS, you should find an option which shows you where your videos save, something like "path settings".

[@JoeMilneEnglish]

Thanks for saying that. You could click View Mode in the PPT and click Read Mode, then make sure OBS is capturing that. Just his the arrow keys to switch slides.

Hey, this tutorial is straightforward to understand and so clearly explained. I have a question when I set up my video capture device it does not show the resolution option for 1920x1080, is it because I am using my built-in laptop camera? looking forward to your response. thank you!

It probably is because of that, yes.
