sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Skyler Elian I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Dude! This is a life saver! Been struggling with virtual cables and stuff to get the audio from the guests. I'm find Zoom to be plain and I usually go live using OBS. Trying to master OBS for a live show that I have but now in Taiwan Covid has finally arrived so have been going remote has been a struggle. It's really a different game. I bought a lifetime to Restream way back and I love using that. I never experimented with that live studio but now because of this video. I'll be able to get the production quality back yo wear I want it to be. Many thanx. And I'm saving this one to refer to over and over. Love OBS and Restream. Tieing them together is so clutch! Thanx again! Seriously, the best OBS tutorials around for livestreaming!
What a great video I have been trying to do this for weeks. After watching your video i feel I have cracked it. Now to apply it to obs for my next live stream. Thank you for sharing.
Greetings - When I use Skype NDI it seems to be a delayed a bit versus what appears in OBS Studio and this causes the NDI that streams with my webcam to be delayed a bit when I send to Restream. Any thoughts?
Hi. This was very helpful Thank you so much. I tried this today between Japan & Indonesia. I had a weird delay sound like our voices and music came back less than a second later and mixed into the audio. I'm hoping to do a live music show. Do you know what might be causing it? I'm using my MacBook Pro, Steinberg U44R audio interface that my condensor mic and keyboard are connected to. The funny thing is it does the exact same thing on both ends. I cut all the reverbs and stuff and it still happens. Not sure if you're checking comments, but Î thought I'd give it a shot.
There will always be a slight delay on the monitor due to encoding. As long as it looks and sounds good an is in sync it should be fine. It makes it tougher to listen to the monitor output while streaming which is why a producer is always a good thing if you can manage it.
I'm using Windows. AT 3:14, your add sources menu has "NDI TM Source" that you select. I followed the steps in this video but I'm not seeing that as an option in OBS. I even see the "Stop NDI" with the red dot on my Skype call. Also, if I have my camera open in OBS, Skype won't allow me to use it on a call... Did I do something wrong?
@@MichaelFeyrerJr I reinstalled it and it shows now. One last thing... You didn't show how you added your camera (it looked mirrored also). Do you have to use two different cameras - one for Skype and one for OBS? Or do you use the NDI source to carry over your camera from Skype? Thank you so much for you videos, by the way. I've learned so much from you!
You answered the question of how to have separate windows for each guest on skype, thank youuuuu! Glad I been subscribed and got your notification alert 👍🏼👍🏼💯✔
I tried using OBS years ago was to confused. I want to do this much quicker like pull up a program put me on and just add another person seems like so many steps. What I am truly wanting to do is use SAMS or VDJ and do my live radio show but add another person from wherever that can dj with me. I assume this can be done by simply adding in the broadcaster but again not sure.
Anything with audio is gonna struggle to sync with latency. But you can just add people with this method. You could also try melon, streamyard or Restream as just a simple live stream too that goes live with guests.
Hi I have problem with one of my guest. His "Window changes size every now and then. Is there something I can do about it? ( I think he is on laptop most of the time ). Thanks!
I have this question and I guess I'm missing something basic due I have not found any solution yet. I want to use OBS to use background and overlays to a zoom meeting and then stream that using spotlight to all attendees. I have been working quite good configuring from one and up to 4 speakers in the same screen but once I use my virtual camera image within zoom to be on spotlight I get an infinite video loop that you already know. I have no idea how to solve this in order that my attendees can see what I'm working on using OBS to customize zoom's view. Any ideas? Thanks
If you are using the chrome browser you could also juse jitsi with a nifty plugin called Pop-out Jitsi Meet. You get the same kind of versatility with positioning your guests in OBS like Skype, but aren't tied to its inferior audio codec, as you can pop out every guest and record that window separately. Bit of a hassle, but worth it in my opinion.
2 questions: 1) I've seen your old video about zoom but is there a new and simple way to use zoom for multiple guests? I paid for a license so I would rather use Zoom to get my money's worth before I consider using Skype or Restream. 2) On Restream, what to do the guests see? For example, if a guest is presenting a slideshow on a separate monitor/guest account, would they be able to see what is being shown on stream so they can request a slide change?
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Sorry to bother you but I just tried to follow your instructions carefully. The first method seems to have NDI plugin not properly activated as I cannot see the red button "STOP NDI" in Skype as per your video clip with default Skype uninstalled and fresh one web site installed as well. Just found out under "Advanced menu" to enable NDI. Now it works. Thank you very much again for your wonderful video clip :)
I followed your instruction on how to add a guest (but used streamyard and not restream) and every things was fine until i hit start streaming from OBS and at that point the camera view was very choppy. my internet upload speed is 940 Mbps and just about same for download So do you think it is just my laptop that does not have enough computing power to handle it? Or graphic card not good enough. Normally i use the OBS virtual camera as a video source in streamyard and stream thru streamyard and have no issues
FWIW, I was not able to install NDI on my Mac mini M1 running Big Sur but WAS able to get NDI to work on my Mac mini 2018 that has Mojave OS. Next I will see if each Skype guest can send audio ( Logic Pro X to Loopback to Skype to OBS). I’m trying to see if I can set up a live “jam” session. I’m connected to internet via fiber optic
Great video, uninstalling skype was brutal, I've never seen such trickery. The only way I can see to do it if you have an office account, is to go into the office folder, change the ownership of the folder to a user, then delete anything that matches with a search on 'lync'. There isn't any way to remove it in the programs, and clicking uninstall from start menu does nothing.
Thanks for the tips and help, 1 quick question, what are the specs for your computer, I want to buy a new one and can't seam to find the right specs, so I can add at least people on call with Discord, so we can chat and play at simultanously. Thanls for your kind answers
hello good day to you sir michael i have a question? how can set up in my OBS in your first tutorial? i'"m a little bit confused the set up sorry and thank you
For Restream you are capturing the studio window into OBS, are you then RMTP streaming from OBS back into Restream to hit all your platforms? Unclear why OBS is part of that workflow if Restream studio if being utilized
Excellent Michael, thanks so much for the great videos, they great and straight to the point, really appreciate it. I am just preparing myself to start creating content and watching your very basic setup videos to the advance streaming ones are going to be super helpful. One last comment, if you could recommend me an affordable microphone for UA-cam can you list a few for me to check? include a camera there if possible as well. I am thinking about starting with the cameras of my Google Pixel for now but I really want to have a more appropriate sound when speaking. Thanks in advance!
I get echo on my stream. I guess because my mic picks up my speakers. Can my listeners listen to Skype caller without echo (and I don’t have to wear headphones)?
Headphones are something you need when you have a guest until there is quality noise cancellation built into obs. At the moment you need the headphones.
Hi again Michael, you really are the best. Thank you so very much for your content, I am watching all your videos on streaming. The one thing I cannot find a solution for is adding a guest, while also managing to have decent audio for live music. All of these options (restream, skype, zoom etc) compress the audio for speech. If you have any idea on this information it would be so helpful!
Not sure if it’s been answered but what happens if someone drops out or closes zoom and then comes back, do you have to choose it or is it smart enough that it can work out the same window
@Michael did you have to connect a separate camera to your computer to be able to have your video in OBS, or are you using your webcam? I’m asking because I tested Skype with OBS just now and I was only able to capture my guest’s video feed, and not my webcam.
I really enjoyed your videos. Can you guide me to your tutorials from square one? I want to start live streaming, but there is so much to get started? I have used my DSLR but people say I need a video capture card. I bought a cheap one got it to work. But other people said buy Elgato or cam link what's the difference? I get a little lost I am an old guy hahaha!
I am using Streamyard for my live streaming. What is the benefit to use OBS? Why not it is easy to connect a guest in OBS? If I need to use Streamyard to invite my guests, then better to use streamyard, isn't it? Kindly help to understand. Thanks
honestly thefirst one with skype seems 10x easier for me and like you said far better control, i guess thats better for more often used guest i have same people weekly so im better with skype
Using your guest count of 3 people example.. Would it be possible to to do "nested scene"? Meaning, have EACH guest (most likely cropped) in their own scene AND THEN create another scene (maybe titled "Group") and then bring the 3 guest + myself into that Group scene?
Thanks for this. I thought the first one was much easier and the second one harder! LOL But then again I know how buggy Restream is so theres that. I like the idea of NDI splitting out the different speakers for different scenes. so I can move them full screen then back to tableau. Cheers.
The ndi input pluggin do you need to put it in the squares or can you remove the squares and move your camera and the guests camera. Cause I watched this cause me and my friend are making a UA-cam channel together and we wanted to have 2 people on the video.
Thank you for sharing this video. When I do this, can I still use OBS as a virtual camera? Or do I have to use a separate designated camera for myself?
Hey i found a problem with ndi and skype. You might have noticed that when you add more than one guest in skype the each ndi audio source actually picks up all the audio feed from each guest making a very disturbing echo with i failed to solve.. can you please find the solution or reach out newtech
Thanks Sir , making for this video Please tell me what is Minimum System requirements for OBS Studio for live streaming facebook and youtube , using Skype ya zoom in OBS Studio
Thank you for this its been super useful. I just wanted to check though - my skype window keeps jumping and changing size.. is there a way to fix this or something I need to be aware of to stop this? Thanks again!
Thanks for these videos! May I ask, what kind of mic do you use to make a video like this? And where is it? I always have to have my mic in front of my mouth, viewable by the camera. Would love to figure out how to get a clean shot without a mic in the view of the camera! Thanks!
Great question. I use the mic I use specifically because I don’t want it in the shot. I talk a lot more about it here. ua-cam.com/video/xddvPytxLMA/v-deo.html
@@MichaelFeyrerJr thank you for your reply. There wasn’t anything in the list. In the end I had to stream with restream only and not OBS. I used NDI for my sound. I had tried Skype first, but the echo was appalling for my guest. Really I’m trying to find out how to use Zoom - OBS - Twitch. Cannot find any videos on this.. would you be able to do this? 😃
Hii.. Great video..can u just help me in this .i need to spotlight active speakers in Host(my) video camera(being actively off) on WebEx platform. Which then changes the spotlight to the next active speaker
Have your friend join the discord video call, add a display output, set it to Discord , crop as needed. Don't minimize or close discord just move something in front of it.
If you are using Restream or one of the other browser based apps, are there any specific advantages to still using OBS with them, since you are limited in regards to using overlays with then like you could with Skype?
I was able to add in guests using Skype, but how do I do the same thing for Zoom? When I select NDI source the zoom meeting does not appear when you want to select it under source name.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Okay thank you. Is there a way to use Zoom without using window capture as a source? Basically I want to be able to have the guests in Zoom show up on the canvas like they would if I was using Skype. Or is the only option to pay for a plugin?
Did you run into an echo issue when streaming like this? The audio from Skype plays through the NDI source AND through my soundboard. So the guest will often times get feedback as the soundboard is getting Audio from the NDI source so that I can hear them. Any suggestions?
Is there a way for your guests that You have in your stream to see everything you see? Are they just seeing you and not everyone else? If they watch the stream on say UA-cam as it was happening live, there would be a tremendous delay....can they see the actual stream in realtime..in other words. Thanks
You can install the Virtual Webcam plugin I think. It lets you project your obs scene as your webcam image. Only downside to this is that they will see only the scene with your webcam source in it too.
Just what I needed! Thank you! I have a question. Which way should I use if a do music streamings? I will be singing with my guest so the signal shouldn't have any delay so we are able to sing together :) Thank you !
As long as it’s together on your end it will synch with the delay on the viewers end. But there will always be a delay between when you speak and your guest hears you and the other way around. That’s the problem you will run into. Unfortunately internet connections aren’t instant.
Great video. For the Skype + NDI option, I cannot get the ability to share the OBS virtual camera as my skype return to guests. What are your Skype settings that the guests see on their end? I'm looking to do a show with my camera + 2 skype guests + my laptop as a source. It would be easy if Skype would allow my OBS virtual camera to be sent back to the guests but evidently, on a Mac, that isn't possible. I have this option with Zoom but Zoom doesn't work with NDI yet. Any advice? Thanks again!
@@MichaelFeyrerJr I tried using a different video of yours with the audio capture download. I couldn’t get my friends audio to come through. I’ll have to try this out.
Great video. How do you get around the echoing issue when using Skype NDI with more than 1 guest? Since each NDI stream sends all audio from Skype call
@@PressableDefects If you're on Windows, I use Voicemeeter. Set Skype to output the audio to the Voicemeeter input, add an audio input capture to OBS and mute all the NDI sources.
I don't see how to enable NDI after installing ... it just shows up automatically in Skype? - Ok - I see the problem - in this video, you didn't tell people how to enable NDI in the SKYPE settings ... I found the answer in your previous video on this topic.
You didn't mention the major drawback of using Skype NDI, and that is every guest NDI feed has the audio from all guests mixed into it, AT DIFFERENT SYNC. The audio from guest 1 has the audio from guests 2 and 3 mixed into it. The audio from guest 2 has guests 1 and 3 mixed into it. This makes audio impossible to get right. You can see this in your video at 5:46 where Jelly and Joe audio is showing the same levels, but they're not speaking. Michael is.
Great video sir! I have a question tho. What if I add a guest from Zoom and want to pictures as a slide show on Obs. How does he see what I share on Obs?
Thank you for posting this! I've almost got it to work... with one small problem I hope you can help me with. My camera will only work in one program for some reason. I'm using the Logitech Brio 4K (USB). When I open OBS first, it shows up there with no problem but when I open Skype it does not open even though it is a selection. If I open Skype first the camera opens with no problem there but will not open in OBS. Any thoughts? Thanks!
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Thank you for your quick reply. I did find a workaround without a second camera. I started the OBS Virtual Camera and selected that for the camera I used in Skype... of course, the guest gets the two windows but it did work!
Mike, when you are streaming in OBS it only allows you to select ONE audio source. UA-cam and FB only allows you to send it one Audio Source. Your video doesn't explain how you are combining your audio and your guests NDI audio into one source for the stream.
Thanks for the video Mike, question though. After you brought everyone in, you said that the audio mixer is showing everyone talking...so is that part of the NDI plugin or a different plugin? Also do you get an echo from them talking or no?
Your tips are always very usefull. Did you ever try to run this first method on 2 machines connected via NDI? Skype with guests running on one and streaming tasks with OBS on another laptop to share the load. I have to because of OBS & Skype & other stuff running on my laptop is to much for the cpu. I tried hard but failed. Any idea to let this work?
The NDI Audio will take the WHOLE output from Skype for all speakers in every and each audio source. NDI only splits video not audio as far as my experience with it goes.

Hey i found a problem with ndi and skype. You might have noticed that when you add more than one guest in skype the each ndi audio source actually picks up all the audio feed from each guest making a very disturbing echo with i failed to solve.. can you please find the solution or reach out newtech
Solution. Mute all but one of them. :-)
Thanks Sir , making for this video
Please tell me what is Minimum System requirements for OBS Studio for live streaming facebook and youtube , using Skype ya zoom in OBS Studio
Thank you for this its been super useful. I just wanted to check though - my skype window keeps jumping and changing size.. is there a way to fix this or something I need to be aware of to stop this? Thanks again!
Great update, thanks Michael.
Thanks
Thanks for these videos! May I ask, what kind of mic do you use to make a video like this? And where is it? I always have to have my mic in front of my mouth, viewable by the camera. Would love to figure out how to get a clean shot without a mic in the view of the camera! Thanks!
Great question. I use the mic I use specifically because I don’t want it in the shot. I talk a lot more about it here. ua-cam.com/video/xddvPytxLMA/v-deo.html
@@MichaelFeyrerJr thanks for the speedy reply! I’ll watch that video too!
When i get to the part to add headphones for restream audio, it won’t let add anything, there are no devices in the list at all
At the very least you should see your speakers.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr thank you for your reply. There wasn’t anything in the list. In the end I had to stream with restream only and not OBS. I used NDI for my sound. I had tried Skype first, but the echo was appalling for my guest. Really I’m trying to find out how to use Zoom - OBS - Twitch. Cannot find any videos on this.. would you be able to do this? 😃
Can this be done on a MacBook Pro?
I’ve done it on mine. But be warned macs are not good live streaming platforms.
Great video thank you
Only downside is Skype goes out of sync. Is there any suggestion on how to prevent this?
Stronger equipment. If it’s out of sync it’s either the connection is struggling or the equipment is not encoding fast enough.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr It goes in sync towards the start of the stream then comes to like a second off delay after like an hour of streaming
Hii.. Great video..can u just help me in this .i need to spotlight active speakers in Host(my) video camera(being actively off) on WebEx platform. Which then changes the spotlight to the next active speaker
A video on how to do this with Discord chat video would be big! 👍
Have your friend join the discord video call, add a display output, set it to Discord , crop as needed. Don't minimize or close discord just move something in front of it.
If you are using Restream or one of the other browser based apps, are there any specific advantages to still using OBS with them, since you are limited in regards to using overlays with then like you could with Skype?
You can change scenes, add music. Use stingers, have a soundboard, use alerts and so many more benefits.
Why won’t my headphones connect to audio output
I don’t know.
I was able to add in guests using Skype, but how do I do the same thing for Zoom? When I select NDI source the zoom meeting does not appear when you want to select it under source name.
Zoom does not support ndi output. At least not for free.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Okay thank you. Is there a way to use Zoom without using window capture as a source? Basically I want to be able to have the guests in Zoom show up on the canvas like they would if I was using Skype. Or is the only option to pay for a plugin?
Display capture works also.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr true yes
Did you run into an echo issue when streaming like this? The audio from Skype plays through the NDI source AND through my soundboard. So the guest will often times get feedback as the soundboard is getting Audio from the NDI source so that I can hear them. Any suggestions?
Hi, I am using OBS on a windows PC. I have followed the instructions but I do not see NDI setting anywhere in my Skype. Please advice.
Hello I used the skype method but when i have my guest on the same scene that i am in, the guests audio cuts in and out, Help please
Excellent since the home teams account doesn’t seem to want to allow do admin
Is there a way for your guests that
You have in your stream to see everything you see? Are they just seeing you and not everyone else? If they watch the stream on say UA-cam as it was happening live, there would be a tremendous delay....can they see the actual stream in realtime..in other words. Thanks
You can install the Virtual Webcam plugin I think. It lets you project your obs scene as your webcam image. Only downside to this is that they will see only the scene with your webcam source in it too.
Just what I needed! Thank you! I have a question. Which way should I use if a do music streamings? I will be singing with my guest so the signal shouldn't have any delay so we are able to sing together :) Thank you !
As long as it’s together on your end it will synch with the delay on the viewers end. But there will always be a delay between when you speak and your guest hears you and the other way around. That’s the problem you will run into.
Unfortunately internet connections aren’t instant.
Great video. For the Skype + NDI option, I cannot get the ability to share the OBS virtual camera as my skype return to guests. What are your Skype settings that the guests see on their end? I'm looking to do a show with my camera + 2 skype guests + my laptop as a source. It would be easy if Skype would allow my OBS virtual camera to be sent back to the guests but evidently, on a Mac, that isn't possible. I have this option with Zoom but Zoom doesn't work with NDI yet. Any advice? Thanks again!
Unfortunately you cannot use the same camera in two different programs. I use a second camera for Skype.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Ahh, bummer. Thanks again for your reply. Appreciate the feedback!
What about on a Mac?
Works the same on a Mac.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr I tried using a different video of yours with the audio capture download. I couldn’t get my friends audio to come through. I’ll have to try this out.
Thanks for this video! really appreciate it
do you still have to download the ndi link if you are using restream?
Is ndi available for Mac?
Yes.
Great video. How do you get around the echoing issue when using Skype NDI with more than 1 guest? Since each NDI stream sends all audio from Skype call
Click the speaker button in the audio sources to mute all but one.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr have you run into audio syncing issues when doing that? If so how do you get around?
@@PressableDefects If you're on Windows, I use Voicemeeter. Set Skype to output the audio to the Voicemeeter input, add an audio input capture to OBS and mute all the NDI sources.
@@davideglass I gotta try that out!!
@@PressableDefects Good luck, we've been using it for over a year now and it works great.
I don't see how to enable NDI after installing ... it just shows up automatically in Skype? - Ok - I see the problem - in this video, you didn't tell people how to enable NDI in the SKYPE settings ... I found the answer in your previous video on this topic.
You didn't mention the major drawback of using Skype NDI, and that is every guest NDI feed has the audio from all guests mixed into it, AT DIFFERENT SYNC. The audio from guest 1 has the audio from guests 2 and 3 mixed into it. The audio from guest 2 has guests 1 and 3 mixed into it. This makes audio impossible to get right. You can see this in your video at 5:46 where Jelly and Joe audio is showing the same levels, but they're not speaking. Michael is.
You do need to mute all but one.
You can turn off Capture Cursor on the OBS Window Capture properties to prevent the cursor from showing up while the window in the background
Yes.
Great video sir!
I have a question tho.
What if I add a guest from Zoom and want to pictures as a slide show on Obs. How does he see what I share on Obs?
The easiest way is to share the slide dock with your guest and just mention the page when you turn so they can follow along with their copy.
Thank you for posting this! I've almost got it to work... with one small problem I hope you can help me with. My camera will only work in one program for some reason. I'm using the Logitech Brio 4K (USB). When I open OBS first, it shows up there with no problem but when I open Skype it does not open even though it is a selection. If I open Skype first the camera opens with no problem there but will not open in OBS. Any thoughts? Thanks!
A camera can only be used in one location at a time. A second camera or a screen grab from Skype is how to work that piece.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr Thank you for your quick reply. I did find a workaround without a second camera. I started the OBS Virtual Camera and selected that for the camera I used in Skype... of course, the guest gets the two windows but it did work!
Once we use restream as a our guest source... Is the any lag time when we stream to face book?
There will always be lag between what you see on your screen and what you see on Facebook, UA-cam or any other streaming service.
@@MichaelFeyrerJr however the live view, the chatting should have no lag right?
So it would be the same for zoom or did I refer to the last zoom video you did as a reference
This is great. Make it easy.
Easy is always good. :-)
Mike, when you are streaming in OBS it only allows you to select ONE audio source. UA-cam and FB only allows you to send it one Audio Source. Your video doesn't explain how you are combining your audio and your guests NDI audio into one source for the stream.
But You DIDNT SHOW US How you added it in OBS.... at the 3:16 mark?
Im More Lost than when I started
Excellent
Thanks for the video Mike, question though.
After you brought everyone in, you said that the audio mixer is showing everyone talking...so is that part of the NDI plugin or a different plugin?
Also do you get an echo from them talking or no?
Each audio is the same and some may be more immediate than others depending on the user’s connection. It’s best to pick one and mute the rest.
Your tips are always very usefull. Did you ever try to run this first method on 2 machines connected via NDI? Skype with guests running on one and streaming tasks with OBS on another laptop to share the load. I have to because of OBS & Skype & other stuff running on my laptop is to much for the cpu. I tried hard but failed. Any idea to let this work?
Good news Michael. Problem solved! All works fine now. Simple switched the tasks between both machines. Don’t think complicated, is the solution.
The NDI Audio will take the WHOLE output from Skype for all speakers in every and each audio source. NDI only splits video not audio as far as my experience with it goes.
Yes I believe in most cases you are right.
Does this work with zoom instead of skype?
I would like to know it too!!
This NDI is not coming in my skype please help
