LEARN EVERYTHING OBS IN 30 MINUTES - Ultimate Beginners Guide - OBS Studio Tutorial 2024

[@russelmorgan3524]

What a pleasure it is to see an intro that doesn't rival motion pictures and lasts for 2 minutes. Thank you.

[@jimhill4725]

@How To Tech : dude this is, subjectively, quite simply the greatest Educational Video I have ever seen ! Yet you call it a : "Beginner's Guide", even though it took me from knowing virtually nothing (about OBS) to almost fully understanding the potential of this amazing program, that I merely knew I wanted to use. I don't think I ever hit the "thumbs up" KZbin "I like this" button , or the "Subscribe" button, quite so enthusiastically, before in my life. Thank you so much.

[@HowToMediaHQ]

You're welcome! It's so awesome to see how this video is helping people understand this program. Also thank you for the inspiring comment! This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to work harder and help more people!

[@dabigguy83]

I've just learned about OBS and I have to say I wish I had known about this years ago!!!! When I think about the amount of money I've spent on streaming hardware and software I could just shoot myself!!!!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!!!

[@HowToMediaHQ]

You're welcome! Happy to hear the video helped you with OBS!

[@jimfalk2366]

Very helpful and as others have said the pacing makes the instructions easy to follow. The best that I've found so far.

[@TheDanzman1211]

Great Tutorial!! I realize you are packing a lot of info in 30 minutes. It is just too fast for an old man like me but no problem. I can repeat the video over and over :) THANK YOU!

[@HowToMediaHQ]

Thanks Victor happy to hear that you are getting good info out of the video! I do get a little to fast at times. Definitely something I am trying to work on!

[@Vekatsrini]

Yes I am an old man too and I did the same. watch it over and over to fully understand. Excellent work by Mr.Miller.

[@HowToMediaHQ]

Thank you as well! Happy to hear it is helping people!

[@pickmixgamer]

@@HowToMediaHQ hi sorry i put a comment but forgot to mention does OBS work on laptops okay or does it have to be desktops mine is a erazer gaming notebook got nivada

[@REVProductionsAV]

@@pickmixgamer OBS works fine on laptops, but it does depend on what your trying to do. Laptops are generally less robust, and if your planning to obs alongside playing a game that heavily stresses your laptop, yer gonna have a bad time :)

[@JamesSmith-qe1xq]

Thank you!!! I have watched 4 other tutorials on this and none worked! Yours did first time! Thank you!!!

[@jmparis83]

Ah yes, a concise and detailed tutorial! Thanks it helped me a lot. There are tons of useful information wihtin those 30 minutes.

[@suwannahansuwat5679]

I wish your video was the first search that came up on this topic. Your content is so clear and precise. Thank you for the great content.

[@HowToMediaHQ]

You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching and sharing your experience!

[@erwinbrouwers7049]

I have to watch this a few times while getting aquinted with the program. This will surely help me!

[@jhernandez5432]

Was looking for a recording application for my webcam, little did I know that Windows 10 comes with a simple one. Anyway down the rabbit hole I go and stumbled on OBS and now a few hours later I'm just completely amazed by the program!! Anyway, the real reason why I am here is because this video was/is very useful. I have saved it for future reference, liked and subscribed but just wanted to let you know that the video tutorial was awesome!!! Thank you so much! Other video tutorials really make me think twice if I really, REALLY want to learn whatever it is I'm trying to learn. Thank you kindly, good sir! Keep 'em coming!

[@HowToMediaHQ]

Thanks Jonathan!

[@clark6050]

thank you thank you thank you! i was searching forever on how to crop my screen so it wouldn't record everything that was on it!

[@WayWalker3]

Exactly! Saved me a lot of frustration. :-)

[@LeonBSweet]

This is the only person I can understand on OBS usage! Thank you bru 🙏🏽

[@HowToMediaHQ]

Happy to help!

[@jayemilla5143]

one of the things that held me back from streaming is how intimidating all the set up is. I found your video incredibly helpful, cohesive, and more importantly easy to understand! Ended up subscribing to your channel right after. Thanks so much for this video, you did an amazing job

[@sugarcoder]

Thank you for making an updated video! I saw your 2017 video and wondered if there was a new one...and here it is! Thank you!

[@dkmanley54]

I just downloaded OBS and watched your getting started tutorial. WELL DONE. It is perfect, you do a great job showing best practices for beginners. It really shows the power of the tool and also stimulates thought for using it other ways I would not have considered. Thanks again for a superb tutorial. PS - I can't believe a comprehensive tool like this is free.

[@theinnertraveler]

I'm a teacher who is gonna start using OBS to record classes! Thanks for this tutorial! Of course I subscribed!

[@HowToMediaHQ]

Thanks for subbing!

[@PrinceShivan]

This taught me everything I needed, thank you.

[@SeanMic517]

Big props to you man. This video was well done. A big reason why I enjoyed it so much is because of how down-to-earth you are. I can tell you actually want to teach, and you aren't out here just trying to get subscription clicks

[@OG_Jam]

You have no idea how helpful and stress free you have made this thank you so much😊😊

[@JonathanEleponio]

Hello @Chad Miller will try this tutorial for my live-streaming and I’m so glad that you presented it very well and that was great.

[@HowToMediaHQ]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheArtsyTuber]

thank you so much. i have had so many friends tell me to wing it when i highly admire production values. i treated your video like a regular classroom course and took notes, and i am excited to finally understand and be able to start building new entertainment

[@Vekatsrini]

Chad Miller ! Hats off to you. What an institution will teach in three months after taking a hefty fee, you have taught in 37.01 minutes. Of course I repeatedly saw the video several times to learn the techniques. God bless you !

[@HowToMediaHQ]

Thank you! That is my goal here. To teach people new skills for free!

[@oldmangamernetworkofficial2093]

I'm so glad I found this, very helpful for those of us just getting upt o speed on OBS. Thanks!

[@IrvinGreene8008]

This is the BEST OBS Tutorial on here! I watched several before I found this one and I thought why to look any farther!!

[@tixitfox5503]

I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!OMFG!!!

[@BodyologyMassageSchool]

Thank you! Great to lear with you!

[@necrodogs]

I used to think that OBS is kind of primitive. As it turns out, I was just blinded by the fact that OBS itself doesn't come with bling and fancypants presets. Thanks so much for this walk-through :)

[@HowToMediaHQ]

No problem! It can seem kinda of bland and over complicated. Happy to hear that the video helped!

[@asianjun810]

@Greek Goddess I’m still learning the ins and outs of OBS but hopefully I can provide more insight. 1) I may be wrong but your hardware/internet may not be powerful enough to support your stream settings for your cam/game. 2) You might have to add your game as an audio source(unsure on this). You can also download voice meter banana/potato (for free) and route your game audio/mic audio/desktop audio with more control. It will be complicated at first but there are some helpful tutorials. 3) I don’t use OBS for gameplay but there are plugins to have comments show on OBS. You may need a second monitor if you want to play in full screen and have OBS up at the same time. 4) when adding an audio input source select the appropriate microphone. I too have watched a billion OBS tutorials and guides but there’s always something unexpected when using it.

[@Orion_44]

@Toxic Butch jesus, these are some questions that you would find the answers to so quickly if you actually experimented with the settings

[@Orion_44]

@Toxic Butch as with everyone on the internet, you immediately overreact and become toxic when someone suggests something different

[@Orion_44]

@Toxic Butch right, lets start over, my name is asshole, and you are Toxic Butch, will you accept those terms, your majesty?

[@BW4EIRE]

This is by far the best video I've seen so far about OBS. I like the step-by-step approach and the pacing. Very thorough and informative. Subscribed!

Great tutorial. I can't find a link to the transitions. Are they still available?

[@jimhill4725]

I suggest you watch : kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-ci4WsmZiekJY . If you open the "information" panel, (just below the main video panel) : in that video, you will see a discord link ( discord.gg/nrgQ2HF ) that purports to be the source of those transitions ( in the " #free-stuff channel " on the How To Tech Discord Server ) I don't know if it's still available there, or even if that "How To Tech" discord channel is still operative: but it's worth trying.
