Streamlabs OBS Beginner's Tutorial: Setup to Stream (2022)

[@rocroc]

Terrific especially for a novice who knows little to nothing about streaming. He gets right to the point and covers all of the essentials in detail. When you leave this video you will have what you need to get a good start streaming. Thanks for your valued assistance.

[@StreamlootsEN]

Appreciate your compliments, we are glad to help!

[@bradmiano561]

OBS studios wouldn’t recognize any of my equipment so I switched to Streamlabs OBS and it is awesome. Great tutorial, never would have figured out the layering concept. 10/10

[@InsertUsernameOfBruceBaker]

ur a legend! I deleted stream labs a million times trying to figure out how to go live,thanks man! u deserve a sub from me!

If you had ps4, you could stream on pc with remote play

[@xz..70.]

[@AnnetteVogel]

Finally, after many hours trying to go online with streamlabs, and watching all kind of youtube vids, this one really helped me, thank you so much!

[@embaesrandoms9481]

I just want to say thank you for making it easy to understand for a noob like me :P

[@bensmith9714]

Thank you for this - easily explained to newcomers with no presumption of prior knowledge; something many KZbinrs to do with tech fail to address. Really appreciate it, as it can sometimes be overwhelming for people wishing to dip their toe into this. I once saw someone asking about this and someone replied with the comment OBS, the original poster then thought they were shortening the word 'OBVIOUSLY' as in you obviously should know what to do!

[@discipleoxide]

This was legit the only video ive ever found that gave me the exact info i needed to learn how to do everything! ive watched so many other videos and they just werent clear enough. as a streamer noob this was the most helpful. thank you so much!

8:16 dashboard ... I'm using SLOBS v0.22.3 and when you click on dashboard on the left, it brings up everything for you within SLOBS - great, that's what I'd like too only that's not what happens with mine - it takes me to the dashboard in my browser?! So what are you doing there that I'm missing please? (8:29 looking closer it seems it takes you to the SL dashboard webpage too - but is that within SLOBS or do you just have a colour scheme that makes it appear so?) Also are there any videos out there showing how to set up/configure a scene downloaded from, say, own3d.com or streamlabs prime? You should how to download/install them but then move on. That's what I've done with the Marbles overlay yet I'm really struggling with it, which is why I'm here of course. Any help/advice on these much appreciated. 14:05 your display in settings/output looks different to mine as well? I don't have tabs along the top like you do and I can't see the option 'enforce streaming service encoder settings either? Presumably you're using a different version on SLOBS than I am? Sorry for all the questions. Maybe I should ask Streamlabs now I have Prime. :)
