You don't have to be live to test your Twitch Stream!

[@vangelismoraitis]

I don't know if you really are the worst gamer on earth, but you are definitely one of the kindest and humble guys spreading knowledge. And, looking at OBS as a game, you are a PRO giving tips to the noobs :D

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks. :-) I’m so glad to be able to help.

[@skiloscorner]

Thanks!

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

[@AuroraASMROfficial]

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Glad it helped!

[@djtitan]

You’re so great, really! I share this stuff to all my stream buddies

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks! That really does help me too! Much appreciated.

[@KingAssassinFTW]

Love your content. I've learned a lot from you. And watching you live was pretty cool.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks!

[@BetaMaleGamer]

man you and the video nerd are the most usefull guys when it comes to tutorials on streaming and set up !

[@SpelVarld]

love the video man u always have the best tip about yt and twitch

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks! Glad to help.

[@darkwarsslothsin7942]

If you use stream elements you can test alerts. Wish there was a option to actually go live to test stuff but show offline. But have only me and my mods be able to see it.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Me too.

[@saralada7599]

My stream says it’s offline but I’m LIVE. There in no online offline switch mode in my settings like other people.

[@YourError606]

Today showed me the power of hyper fixation. I've been trying for weeks to figure out how to test stream with OBS because my computer can't handle streamlabs. The video I saw (and the article I was reading) all talked about "stream key". I was SO FOCUSED on this stream key thing, that up until THIS VIDEO TELLING ME, I didn't even see the "test stream" button in OBS 😅🤦🏻 thank you good sir, for being a hero to a complete idiot like myself

[@MrMunkyMeat]

I come for the info but stay for the enthusiasm.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks!

[@goodvibesonlyx]

thanks for a great source!!! this helped me so much

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Glad to help.

[@Evliveoyuncu]

Where can i find the video to test youtube stream?

[@johntorn]

Very helpful, I had no idea about this test method! Thank you!

[@Koffinkrew]

Hello Michael question it’s a dumb one lol how can someone see me paint but also see me on twitch. Is it 2 cameras

[@williamfine9769]

so no preview? how is this a test stream since i can't see the user-end resault

[@mitsoro4085]

how do you fix the brightness on obs?

[@MrJesseforsell]

Is your stream looking dark? Settings - Advanced, set color format to NV12, Color Space to 709 and Color range to Partial. You can add a color correction filter to your cam and/or gameplay too to change brightness etc.

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Or you may just have it in system mode you can go into your settings in general and change your theme to dark.

[@mitsoro4085]

@@MichaelFeyrerJr thank you so much

[@thevirtunaut1856]

Thanks for the info, but is there any way to watch it while logged in as the account youre testing so you can understand what your viewers will see when you go live?

[@The_Matrix_I_Am]

can you go over setting up the music from streemtunes

[@Magswap]

Thank you for this!

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Glad to help.

[@justmooosevt]

I was super lost on how to use the stream key on OBS since there was no option for it like streamlabs, ty!!

[@jooshiii]

Don’t know much, but could you test alerts and other stuff with the recording feature in OBS?

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

You can, but recording isn’t really the same stress on a machine as streaming. In fact it could be more or less depending how you have your recording set up.

[@ONCLOUD_9]

I can't see my stream on inspector even after reloading, any idea how to fix this

[@fierychariots4119]

How can you stream in OBS to an external recording devise without an Internet connection?

[@The8BitVillain]

Fantastic! Thank you!!!

[@jeanmoretto]

Very, very, very nice!

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks

[@ms_anoka]

Hello! Thank you for all your valuable advise🙏❤️ You have lots of videos related to KZbin and Twitch. But I’m streaming on Trovo via OBS, so can you add this streaming platform to your videos? I can’t find much useful tutorials about Trovo like yours 😔

[@mustikkashotti5074]

I clicked authorize and then nothing really happens? Any fix or reason to that?

[@CanadanGames]

Hi Thanks so much for your content! I was wondering what software you'd recommend for live streaming off of a Mac Studio M1 MAX with 64gb ram. I am making the switch from PC and was just wondering what software you think would be the least problematic. I console stream with a Elgato HD60S+ Again thank you for your content and I'm happy to be a subscriber!

[@straw242_]

These methods never worked for me. I could not see any data on the Twitch tool.

[@wagonet]

Love all this

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Thanks!

[@deathcomesfromabov]

Ty sir!👏👍

[@thebossphvlogs]

They say love is beautiful, but I say friendship is better.✔️✔️

[@Iloveorganicgardening]

Thanks michael!!!

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

Glad to help Dave.

[@valous2]

Nothing better than using a dummy account honestly. Especially if you use certain twitch overlays that send information to your obs as you cant test them unless you are live. One such example is the heat overlay that allows for your viewers to actually interact directly with the video to make obs do things.

[@JL-ef7bh]

Did anyone run into an issue where the the duration returns as 1000ms?

[@caitlinmiddleton8981]

me... and it won't show my stats

[@Haplo-san]

So Twitch seems to be downgraded in the past years. I know for sure, we were able to start a test stream and watch from one of Twitch account/stream settings panel.

[@BotWhisperer]

Wish someone in the world used something other then obs so a video would apply to me at least once

[@dasadorahIRL]

I followed all your directions and double checked it was right but for some reason the Inspector website shows me offline. I refreshed the browser, tried another browser and closed my OBS multiple times. Do you know how I could fix it? Thanks!!

[@pw9270]

Same

[@og.gamer9160]

Super mega early

[@MichaelFeyrerJr]

:-)

[@kaotickitten]

It is the dumbest thing on earth that we cannot test channel point redeems while doing this. I fucking hate Twitch.

[@Pygmy_Warrior]

Thnx buddy (*_*>

[@Gaming.And.Yelling]

thank you for your help!
