[@edwardfletcher7790]

Please use chapters when making instructional videos....

[@Haiyami]

What did you use to record this tutorial? I notice that I can't have OBS record itself without a video source added to a scene, so I'm wondering what you did to record OBS in a blank state.

[@halfkoreanhalfamazing]

How about those yellow overlays that highlight different parts of the screen in yellow. How did you do those? For example at 1:27 and 1:54

[@kahlesjf]

@@edwardfletcher7790 Stop Whining!

[@AndyDooley]

can you make a video teaching us how to use OBS to make reaction videos for KZbin.

[@Luke_Mayo]

This is one of the BEST tutorials I've ever seen. Clear, doesn't skip over important elements, etc. Just superb! I'm messing around with OBS right now and it already feels VERY familiar.

[@JamesLudlum-cy3ot]

1:31

[@dhass2]

Best and only video about OBS that actually first explains what a scene is or what a source is, before diving in and telling you how to create/add them, when you don't yet know what they actually are or why you are adding them. Have been wishing I could learn to use OBS for over a year and yours is the first video that actually made me realise I can.

[@kabelinmel1]

Same here!! We can do this 😤

[@nancymauro8070]

He spoke clearly and a slower pace than others I have watched. Excellent for a real novice into this tech world. Thank you

[@SujeeSujeekan]

Dont know about clarity but you could have slowed down playbackspeed

[@VocalTomes]

This was way more helpful than other OBS videos I've come across. Thank you for being very clear and easy to follow!

[@shweta.purandare]

Agree...! I was about to buy another software but now I think I can manage with this !

[@TravisTennies]

Thank you! Starting a channel finally. Just built a computer that can handle recording, editing and streaming. Yay!

[@_Holy4]

mostly easier because it was made more recently

[@Condemn-Focus]

OBS is not user friendly, however when you learn it it's actually really good plus no watermarks.

[@legendsarctustv5150]

Maybe you could do a more in-depth video to help make obs more user friendly

[@billyjhamilton4963]

Any tips to help make more user friendly ❓

[@EmielWM]

What's not user friendly about it? I think everything makes sense.

[@rbeau22]

Strange how once you learn to use something, it gets easier.

[@pizzaguy_]

@@rbeau22 ...very.

[@georgeridgeway7766]

So far this is the best video that I have seen for a beginner. Someone already thanked you for going slow and showing the steps and tab. I agree. I am particularly interested in learning how to use OBS Studio during a Zoom presentation.

[@tofuComputer]

I'm attending a virtual all-day training in a few days and need to record it. You saved my butt! Thank you! Great video!

[@stampinturtles]

This was very helpful because I only do 4 lives a month and didn't want to buy a subscription to yard stream or other streaming host that cost $40+ a month. OBS is free so I figure I'll try it. Maybe someday I'll need to do more but this looks so easy and you explained it very well. I have two cameras I want to use and I also want to put an image on the screen. This is perfect! Thank you so much. I'm subscribing because I think you need to be seen by many more people. Praying the algorithm picks you up and pushes you to many. more people.

[@TheMakShow319]

Loved your tutorial great work. I am considering jumping into content creation and finding out that there is both so much to learn but also there are so many people making great tutorials like yourself. Many Thanks

[@Fit4C]

Jesus loves you alot trust in His death 4 salvation and be saved from eternal hell

[@studzation]

subscribed to u congrats on 3

[@Joekidyt]

Amen i believe​@@Fit4C

[@AfricanFlightStar]

Wow, I had heard about and have been looking at OBS "from the outside" for a few years now, waiting for when I wanted to pull the trigger on video creation. You really gave us a great intro to this platform, clearly and logically presented with just the right amount of detail, but without overwhelming us. Excellent job, thank you a ton. I guess I'll be subscribing then 😀Now time to dive into it, cheers!

[@jonaton7910]

This was extremely helpful! I've never used any recording software besides iMovie years ago so OBS confused me, but you made it very simple so thanks!

[@curt_tdi]

I got obs a few years ago and never figured it out so I stopped I just got back into streaming and this was the best obs tutorial I’ve found

[@Barking_Schnauzer]

Thank you so much! This is one of the best OBS tutorials I've found so far. It's easy to understand and follow what you do. You're also showing the features that most users are probably going to need. Great vid! 👍

[@Kingmundo_Rey]

This video was super helpful. I had been struggling with OBS on my own for about 6 hrs. So thank you for being so clear and walking us through slowly.

[@lidiagomez8194]

i LOVED this tutorial! first video i came across and i love how you are talking and showing everything at a slow pace which is easy to follow along with

[@dennis2902]

Just halfway through. You simply explained the OBS interface. Thanks a lot

[@kareemhabeeb4923]

Howfinity your video is the best among every other obs videos I know this takes alot of effort but i believe your effort will never be in vain Thank you so much

[@SonicPhantom89]

Awesome video and I was able to have OBS open on my other screen so I could pause your video, try out what you did, and then go back and continue watching. Thank you for being so clear

[@Kenneth_A_H]

starts at 1:03

[@bigbwatt7872]

👏🙏😃 Thank you so much! I am a beginner content creator. I have 30 years of Great Experience from my Career to share with the World but I have struggled for 3 days to figure this out. I'm the guy that has learned Excel, PowerPoint, etc. just from digging in without formal how to training. For some reason today's technology is a bit confusing for me. You made it very clear in a language I could easily understand. Thank you!

[@user-ti4bb7vu1j]

You are a terrific teacher. Clarity is charity for us new users. Thank you.

[@Excel-power-users]

Two thing I was looking for in this video 1) how to zoom in and out of particular portion of the screen 21:35 2) how to highlight a portion of the screen like you did 0:05, 1:28 , 1:34 , 1:41 and so on

[@sunshinechica6626]

Thank you so much for the detailed obs tutorial. I really appreciate you taking the time and sharing with us ⭐

[@dingolovethrob]

That was quite simply teh best tutorial on OBS I have ever found. - subscribed. I only wanted a few pointers on how to record my screen properly but now I understand what the scenes are for and how to use studio mode. Excellent.

[@Mr.Tabs.Guitar.Lessons]

Thanks a lot. By far the most useful and clear video for this out there 😃

[@yvonne_adele]

Thanks for this awesome video! I am a total tech head but this OBS interface had me STUMPED until I found you... Had no idea about the scenes and transitions and couldn't work out what Studio mode was. THANK YOU!

[@WorldTrotterHereandBeyond]

Thanks for sharing

[@garyclement2888]

This was very simple. I been skeptable of this because I don't have enough of storage, but I thought it would be good to get familiar. You did a great job in teaching here.

[@melbournecoarseangling]

Excellent presentation. I love a tutorial that shows you SETTINGS but also tells you what the best defaults area and what ones to leave unchanged! MY biggest challenge after watching this was to get my Panasonic VXF1 HandyCam connected to my Mac/OBS (bought the Elgato dongle...et voila!). Next step is to setup OBS with WIX "Live"...

[@furfrugurl5215]

I appreciate you! As a console streamer trying to set everything up through obs, I appreciate it!😊

[@prashantrathod5076]

After watching lots videos on screen recorder with audio topic finally I got the right once. Thanks man

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

I have not been live streaming but using video editing software and Snagit. This program has a lot of potential but there is a bit of a learning curve with everything. Looks easy enough based on your tutorial so I will play with it a bit. Thanks.

[@IIIisdumb]

ty for the tutorial!it helped me for my channel!

[@IIIisdumb]

i have an channel, but there are only one subscriber :(

[@nolan5746]

thank you so much. I figured a lot of this out by myself but this video really helped me put it all together in my head. i’m autistic and usually struggle with things like this, but the context you added to each feature was very helpful. keep doing what you do !!

[@colintclai]

This is by far the clearest how-to video about obs. Thanks!

[@Official_Gprosperous]

Forgot how to use OBS. Glad this video was still up.

[@quantumhomeimprovements]

Thank you for your tutorial. After going through and setting up the settings I was confident enough to go live today which went really well i am happy to say. We are based in Sydney and our channel is growing nicely and i really needed to get back to doing live chats which i found helps grow my subscriptions and view rates. As a thank you I mentioned your channel on the live chat and have put a link for people interested to follow. Thank you once again!!!

[@C_J36]

Thank you, this was perfect, just started messing with OBS Studio last night but needed some more direction. This should be all I need to start recording.

[@user-tm4my4jb6d]

I believe God just answered my prayers by sending this video to me. Because I just got off the phone with my cousin who now isn't sure if she wants to do the KZbin channel on the topic that she suggested last night. 😂

[@MAFGTR]

Simple, clear, comprehensive. Well done!

[@avemaldo8814]

This is the best tutorial by far. It is very clear, the instructed was not in a hurry but very helpful in his explanation. Can you please follow up with more as you learn more about OBS?

[@robertawestrandle]

Thank you for the excellent presentation for this real novice. Your clear voice and slower pace than others i have watched.

[@luisfilipemorais]

Absolutely brilliant presentation! it was very, very helpful! Thank you!

[@kylieeeeep]

I have rewatched this video like 3 times just because of how helpful it is, thanks so much

[@marcoguerrero4501]

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you for this. You made this very easy for me.

[@CruzeCraze]

Excellent tutorial! Easy to follow and good pace for beginners.

[@TyUnfiltered]

A no BS guide to OBS. Thanks for this!

[@shweta.purandare]

It was an excellent video explaining the details - Makes me want to get re-started with OBS !

[@chargoesboom6990]

I am actually thinking of using this since the other recorder I had is hella buggy, will cuz some unnecessary skips in the audio if you're doing a reaction, and it will give you an error if you keep raising the fps to 30 or 60

[@flamadiddle]

I want to only use OBS giving drum lessons using multiple cams, I like the idea of being able to pull up doc sheets. Do you have tutorials on that?

[@shayshay9764]

thank you for explaining from beginning and clearly..last video i tried to watch the teacher was all over the place

[@melwinalm]

Great tutorial. Covered most of the use cases of OBS Studio. Thank you.

[@pafabrizio]

Excellent tutorial. I just started using OBS and while it is quite intuitive your tutorial improved my understanding. Thank you!

[@TheRickAustin]

Found your tutorial very helpful getting over some initial learning humps - thank you! Curious - what tool(s) are you using to record this tutorial and specifically, what are you using to highlight the cursor and accent the sections of the UI?

[@bertbalderas6714]

Wow!!! ty for your explanation of OBS. You have made the usage of the software very helpful for me. Definitly going to watch more videos.

[@ADBell1]

I just got OBS studio and didn't know how to record and do live streams but this video helped me do it

[@Cannassuer]

No shade to other vids out there but this is what we needed Bob!😊

[@muttnaughton9223]

Thank you.... Crazy but true I was having hard time finding how to live editing. Thank God you popped up.

[@brond13]

This is the best tutorial I've seen all month. Thank you!

Thanks so much!! This is by far the best OBS tutorial video I have come across!

Great tutorial Saj and what a pleasant surprise to find this channel with YOU. Hope you're well my friend! This was exactly what I was looking for.

[@Howfinity]

Hey Robert! How are you? I was just at universal Studio this week and reminded me of our epic job.

[@robert_starling]

@@Howfinity we love Universal! I've been doing Russian Arm car on a Disney show and some HBO etc. Will send you a text so we can jump on a call and catch up! Have a great weekend and thanks for this great OBS beginner tutorial.

[@caymancombatclub]

Thanks for this! I'm planning to start filiming content for my combat sports page and this is just what I needed as a benchmark for my setup.

Best tutorial for anything that I've ever seen

[@USALiveStream]

Sir your the best Teacher everything so clear I truly learned so much from you thank you I subscribe and Gave a big likes for support thank you

[@attunementtarot]

Great video! I will definitely refer back when I feel brave enough to embed another screen, or use any other elelments. But my main thing I wanted to learn was simply editing a video - i.e. "snipping" sections out of the middle. It seems like a very basic and easy thing to do, but I don't know how and was hoping to be shown that here. Do you have another video that shows this?

[@lasklegends8151]

Trynna be the next big KZbinr mark my words thanks for the tutorial my guys much appreciated!! 🙌

[@PythonPouToutMoun]

[@studioplanetesilhouette]

Thanks ! Learned a lot as I did not know much how to handle OBS. Will have to watch some more to catch on how streaming really works when scheduled ahead of time...

[@YifeiXuan]

thanks for this helpful video. in Settings -> Output -> Recording -> Video Encoder. I have it on "Hardware" by default. I saw you have it on "Software". What is the difference between the two? Shall I change it to "Software"?

[@lombo-]

you're an absolute legend

[@RickGramlich]

Awesome video! Thank you for this. Working on putting together a live Zoom webinar and it looks like OBS is what I'll be using to put it all together.

[@random2402]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial. I have saved this video in case in the future I need to refer to some parts if I forget something.

[@rohanshaw1827]

Great video. How did you make the yellow lines appear and highlight the sections you were talking about? Is that using obs or another program?
