I've been using this method for my podcast as we started adding in video episodes. It's a fantastic method as long as you aren't afraid to play around with settings.
Morning Michael ! Just grabbed a coffee and am about to watch this ! I'm new to OBS. I have a few beginner questions, where is the best place to ask them ? - example, - I have been streaming videos, and had just one "source" in my source list - it is a "media source" . That said - yesterday I added a second source, and realized that this newer source was taking first spot.... I would try and get my usual media source running as usual, but noticed the new source was kind of "overpowering it" as it was the one wanting to be shown.... I eventually realized that to get my original source running ( it is now 2nd on that list of sources ) I had to click on the newer one that was overpowering the first and click it the "eyeball" to OFF.... and then everything works fine..... so my question is - is this the correct way to do this ? .... It's a difficult question to describe and I couldn't find this on your channel so thought I would ask here.... maybe U can do a video on this..... anyway thank you for reading this Michael !
That way will work fine. The sources work as layers. So the top one is on top and the rest are below. You can order them any way you want in the source list.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Hi Michael ! ohhh ! it's great to hear from you ! Thanks for the personalized reply ! Thank you for that, I feel better about it now. Thanks for your help ! it's much appreciated.
Awesome as always! Michael, you might want to consider using a cursor highlighter (they're free to download) to make it easier to keep up where you're pointing to? Thanks for sharing such valuable tips!
Great channel !! Been subbed for a few years now ..... Solid content thats easy to follow and straight to the point. . Is there anyway you could get into AI editing tutorials? Thats really does seem like thats where we are heading for the future.....AI this AI that.. .Keep making them vids !!!!!!
For live streaming, compared to Streamyard, what are the guests actually seeing on their end? Do they need to have another tab/browser open to UA-cam? Thanks for this video... it really dummied things down for this dummy! Great stuff here...
As someone who has DM'd online (various map/game programs) a few times, with streaming on discord or twitch, I have a few questions. Which version of D&D? What do you use for the maps? Do you have public recordings of your sessions? My apologies if you find the questions intrusive.
@@Bipolar_Expedition haven’t started the yet, but I’m planning on using roll20 with maps found off google images. I did that over Skype last time, but I have never recorded or streamed a session before. This video has helped me hugely with ease of set ups every time when i finally get this new campaign up and running.
@@Bipolar_Expedition I have never recorded or streamed a session yet (only just got into this UA-cam channel thingy lol) but the last campaign I run during lockdown was on roll20 with Skype. I basically searched google for maps and put them on roll20. This would speed setting up the chat and overlay settings each session massively! Hope that helped and made sense.
hey mike! thank you for your help, I'm a new streamer on twitch and learning all about this, I Love making content and you rock my friend and helped me set my green screen up! I'm not as popular as you are but i might get there one day thank you
Thank you great video. How can I tweek this if I want to do a recording audio only. Should I create a new profile and change the output to "mp3" ? And leave everything else the same?
And you can use plugin "Advanced Scene switcher" with parametr "if "AUDIO - Guest one cam" source is MORE than "-15" - switch to scene to the "main 3"" !!! And guests will be AUTOMATICALY highlighted when they are will be speaking. XD
oh man, you've make my day shine today, this method looks awesome, and it maked me think about, how about setting the transitions to be aplied via voice activation?, I mean, if the microphone of a guest, or mine capture sound, then the transition would put the scene where that one is "on top" active, that would be amazing!! thanks Michael, for making my mind go more creative today ^_^
Hi I love watching you. Very educational. I learn a lot. I noticed prism live studio got a new update. Template. I’m not a gamer. But I’m curious to see how you use it. Thanks
Suggestion: I wanted a way to setup VDO Ninja, but not need to update the links depending on the guest. What I did, was I used the "scene" links from VDO Ninja, instead of the Solo links. I dock the VDO Ninja Control Center into OBS, and all I need to do is add guests to s2, s3, s4, etc... in VDO Ninja, and then they will automatically appear in OBS. Everyone get's the same link to join a room. I assign them to a VDO scene, no editing in OBS. Aside: Have you found a way that I could bring up a Social Stream message and have the camera views automatically adjust based on the size of the message? Similar to what StreamYard does, but I want to use OBS and Social Stream.
How stable is video ninja? I’ve been using StreamYard but am still nervous about sticking with it going forwards. This could be a potential solution for me but it would need to be bulletproof to convince the client to switch.
Streamyard is a paid app that has support because you pay for it. I will always recommend something like that for client work because it’s another layer of protection if something goes wrong. I use vdo ninja a lot and have never experienced any issues as long as all the network connections are good. Guests with weak connections can have pixelated or low res video from time to time, but the audio has always been spot on even when the video is low res for those guests.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Thanks, I am having a problem using Animated lower thirds I got a new computer using OBS 30,1,2 It was working before now it only Red box the main box in green but nothing doing Please help
Can we do this 100% local as in a local network? with ease, where everyone is in the same room with different computers, different mics, different cameras.different V Tube models.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Thank you very much so cool Yes I know we need the Internet to streaming out drive or do we need the Internet to record the event or some sort of network local able to handle this and we need to use that website that's the primary example of but thank you very much🤩
I don't know if you have thought about this or if you've heard anyone else say anything about this I'm trying to find a way to put paint 3D back in the right click selection on opening a photo to edit it. Windows has removed it from the menu. Thank you very much in advance 😎☕
For some reason this setup isn't working for me. I have been working on it for 4 hours and can't see what's wrong. The audio goes through but the video doesn't show at all.
Great Video micheal FRY JR I Love Your Vids DO You Think IlL Ever Reach 1000 Subs Ty For All The Tips And Tricks Ive Awlays Being Using This Tool Its Brilant But I Frogot About Ot Ty For Reminding Me From A Fellow Content Creator 💖

It’s easy to set up and works well.
This is great thanks. Is there anyway my guests can also stream simultaneously into their channels ?
I am sure there is a way.
Rare to get to one of your videos so quickly! Adding guests is something I have thought about doing.
Glad to help.

It depends on what camera or screen you decide to share with your guests. you can choose.
This is amazing! This will help me set up my online D&D sessions, thank you!
Will work great for that.

Thank you for this video. Is the link reusable or would I need to create another link for every stream?
Good to see you Sir, How you and Monica are doing well. Love this video!!
Great to see you! We are well, I hope you are also!

So glad to help. there are a lot of ways to switch scenes to highlight certaind guests using things like voice command.
You can use the plugin Advanced Scene Switcher for that

I’ll have to check it out.
Hi Michael: Another excellent and useful video - many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
To share audio vdo ninja suggests virtual audio cables and you could just use virtual camera and only show the director camera
Absolutly! then they would hear the stream, but they would also hear themselves which can be VERY distracting.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr yeah it can be for sure...guess it depends what you're doing.
again love your stuff , had to stop at 5 21 mark and say oh and thank
Great video! I can't wait to try this.

Thanks for the tips!!
what arfe those cameras annd how did you add them as guest?
What is your computer spec it is fast man I like how it is processing
It’s a couple years old top of the line intel with a 3080ti and 32gb of ram and lots of ssd drives.

This is how I record! Also you can modify the audio quality via a parameter in the solo link
Awesome! Thanks for the tip.
Good day please do a complete video for a small church sitting including all hardware
These are tough because the viewers for it are a small audience and the budget is different for everyone.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Thanks, I am having a problem using Animated lower thirds I got a new computer using OBS 30,1,2 It was working before now it only Red box the main box in green but nothing doing Please help
Great Video! Thanks
Awesome tool using it sinds the beginning 👍
Awesome
@@MichaelFeyrerJr amazing 👏
Thanks michael!!
Nice to see you Dave! I hope all is well.
Can the guests see each other?
yes
Can we do this 100% local as in a local network? with ease, where everyone is in the same room with different computers, different mics, different cameras.different V Tube models.
Sure. I do it with one of my guests every Wednesday. She is in the same house.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Thank you very much so cool Yes I know we need the Internet to streaming out drive or do we need the Internet to record the event or some sort of network local able to handle this and we need to use that website that's the primary example of but thank you very much🤩
like for the Opeth shirt and the great tutorial!
Thank you!
I found an issue with VdoNinja. After silence whenever guest says something first 6-8 seconds sounds are mute everytine. Which is bad.
Thanks for the video, however the thumbnail was deceptive, I thought you were gonna work some magic on how to snapchat filter your guests
How can I fix a echo on my guest end issue . When they talk I hear a echo
I don't know if you have thought about this or if you've heard anyone else say anything about this I'm trying to find a way to put paint 3D back in the right click selection on opening a photo to edit it. Windows has removed it from the menu. Thank you very much in advance 😎☕
Dont know anything about that unfortunatly.
You rule. Opeth too!
Thanks

You will reach 1k subs eventually. It took me over a year. The key is to constantly work to get better and more entertaining.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Thank You 💖
Is there another way without video ninja? One that’s a little more esthetically pleasing and user friendly for guests?
There are paid options. If you want to use obs is is really the best solution and the only one that will separate audio.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Man that's too bad hahaha
obs is trash, you spend all this F_IN time and it lags, what trash it is
