▼ Questions & Answers ▼
[Q] – How did you record this?
[A] – I used OBS to record a VMWare virtual machine running on my desktop. This way I could show you how to install and configure OBS while actually using it at the same time.
[Q] – Why is the audio out of sync with your cam in OBS?
[A] – There is a noticeable audio delay because of the link between my webcam and the virtual machine hosting the lesson. This should not happen to you during your live streaming. Also the part where I’m on the YouTube page is delayed by 20 – 30 seconds which is common for live streams.
[Q] – How do I know what to set my upload bandwidth to?
[A] – Go to speedtest.net and run a few tests and use the lowest upload bandwidth – 500kbps to give you wiggle room. (ex. for 2.5mbit use 2000kbps). It will take some trial and error to find the right rate where you get the best image quality without dropping frames.
[Q] – How do I install custom plugins?
[A] – Search Bing or Google for ‘OBS Plugins’ or ‘OBS Extensions’. There are a ton of tutorials on installing them and most are not that difficult to use and really let you put a unique twist on your stream.
