I have been using OBS studio for my content creation since 2016, and over the past few years I have learned a lot about the software and in this course I want to teach you everything I know in order to equip you with the knowledge on how to start live streaming, recording video and creating content.
The course itself is split into 3 sections:
- Core mechanics of the software
- In-depth settings overview
- Practical applications to OBS
The course is designed this way so that almost everyone can find some use out of this course, regardless of you’re knowledge and prior experience with the software.
In the course mechanics section we will cover:
- The interface of the software; what everything does and how to navigate around it
- A look at all the sources that make up a scene and the most useful scenarios to use each of them
- An in-depth look at the audio mixer advanced audio properties so that you are knowledgeable on how to navigate those important audio settings.
In the settings overview section we will cover all of the settings tabs such as the general, stream, output, audio, video, hotkeys, accessibility and advanced, all in great detail
And finally in the practical applications section I will show you how many skills that you can apply to your own use of the software such as:
- Window or screen recording
