Fix for BLACK SCREEN WHEN CONNECTING DISCORD ISSUE: This is usually an issue due to windows directing your GPU power elsewhere, try right clicking on The OBS icon and choose if ‘run as administrator’ and try again. If this doesn’t work, there are some other options to try here: www.obs.live/articles/2019/3/20/how-to-fix-the-obs-capture-window-black-issue
I've found this to be incredibly useful in having multiple POVs on the same stream by capturing their screen share instead of their webcam. And with a simple scene change being able to flip the picture-in-picture perspective! Thanks for the great vids!
Looking for ways to host 2 speakers for a LinkedIn Live event and the internet gave me this video gift even 4 years after publishing it. A lot of useful tips are already saving me from all the headaches. Thank you for the work you sent to me here in 2024.
You're getting more comfrotable talking Bek, great video, I was actually unsure of how to do this so this has been a huge help in growing the empire, thank you!
Ross Rickson thank you so much! This one had a few issues but got it out eventually ha ha. Can’t wait till I don’t sound like the beginning bit on my vids ;) Looking forward to seeing you give this a go. Always up for being a co-star ;)
That alt to crop tip was so handy in itself, thanks for that! I'm doing my first ever livestream tomorrow to celebrate 500 subscribers, and I foolishly left the learning of how to setup the livestream all to the last minute, so you're saving my ass here XD Great video thank you!
I've come back to this multiple times, one thing I can't figure out is how when you go to Discord around 4:23 how do you get the video in Discord to display both you and your game. It's not related to the eventual end product as you crop all of that out for just the friends video window. However, it's a pretty cool useful tip in itself if you could explain how it wasn't just the webcam in discord.
I believe I have the answer. In Discord you were doing screen record instead of enabling video. Very Cool. Thanks for all of your tips, these are super valuable and I come back to find more tips often.
Thank you very much, I'm going to start streaming with a friend and I wanted to put his camera live using discord, you guys helped me a lot. Greetings from Brazil ;)
Thank you so much, I seriously been wanting to know how to get this done on obs. I normally stream with gamecaster but I find it much better with obs/discord together. Totally grateful for this tutorial :D
Thank you too GMST4R! Really glad to help out 💜 OBS is easily my fave streaming software and pairing with Discord friends makes the stream so much fun. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!!
Thank you very much yesterday two friends of mine wanted to do a nuzzelocke of Xenoverse and they had the problem and i wanted to help them didnt think about the scene adding you are awesome also nice tipp with the cutting Thank you very much.
Ahhhh! Supremely helpful. I’ve been mulling how to capture my wife (who finally agreed to play Minecraft) with my son and I - all playing on different devices. Honestly, it’s the audio setup that seemed the most daunting - but this Discord co-op setup seems legit. Can’t wait to give it a shot. We may start streaming or capturing vid to edit for release in 2021.
Hey sorry for the delay in replying. Had a little break from the internet for the holidays. So glad this was helpful. Hope it works out for your stream with the lady! It sounds like loads of fun 🤩
No worries, glad to help even if it’s not something you can use right now. You might want to look into something like Streamyard or Streamlabs Melon (I don’t really like to promote Streamlabs) as both have free options where you can invite guests for things like podcasts and talk shows which works similar to my video example. The difference is that those sites host the stream so there’s no need to have a higher specced PC. Certainly worth checking out 😊
this is super helpful! im the only streamer(and honestly gamer) in my friend group, but my friends still enjoy being apart of my talking streams! this will make those streams just a tad less boring for my viewers lololol
Haha Thats awesome! I love streaming with friends being able to show their reactions, makes it fun for us as the broadcaster and the viewers too! Hope it helps you and your friends!
Hi Jose. They are from a free stream elements pack. They have lots of boarders, overlays and alerts to choose from. I made a vid showing how to use the alerts which is very similar to setting up the boarders/overlays ua-cam.com/video/PfE-NT7siXw/v-deo.html
An awesome tutorial and video, Becki. 😆 👍 👍 I'll definitely be using this for any co-op streams that I organise or become involved in. Cheers to you, my lovely! 🍻
You are most welcome. Glad it was helpful. Since then I’ve made lots of OBS guides but the getting started one can be found here: ua-cam.com/video/VA36rzy0m5w/v-deo.html 💜
thank you! im hosting a live stream thru Zoom and Twitch. Is it possible for the other participants or host to loop my live stream to their accounts/channels?
Just what I was looking for. Any problems using the webcam as a source for both OBS and Discord at the same time? My buddy and me want to both have our own Twitch streams running but also share each other's webcams in our respective streams.
Hiya - you can capture as many people within the discord video screen as it will let you but keep in mind if people join or leave it will alter the layout so its good to plan for this on your stream. If I know this is going to happen and I won't be locking the room down, then I just capture everyone in a single source.
Hi and thanks for watching! It was from StreamElements (I've changed it 3 times since the posting of this video) - by some awesome chance I have just uploaded a tutorial on using StreamElements with OBS if you want to take a look! ua-cam.com/video/PfE-NT7siXw/v-deo.html
They would need to be sharing their screen to you via the discord at the same time and you could then capture that as a source. Only one person can stream/screen share into Discord at a time though so you would need to keep that in mind. This will make their cam image really small though so will likely lose quality if you are trying to capture both. If they are also streaming you could potentially capture their stream via a window capture the same way but you would have the latency that way.
@@BeckiLea thanks... is there a way I can change the size of there screen with a stream deck? So like if I’m talking I can click me then when he’s talking I can click a button to make it bigger?
@@glitchbrothers814 not sure on stream deck but you can certainly use OBS and a plug-in called Move Transitions that will let you change the size and location of any source. I’m sure this could be linked to a trigger on your stream deck. I use lioran board for my deck and it works there :)
You can do if you want them in their own box that you can move independently. I once had a room of people and I just captured them all as one big source so depends what look you are after :)
Two monitors certainly make things easier but you don’t need them for this. I use an ultra wide so can sit them side to side or overlapping, as long as discord is not minimised then this should work. You may need to run your game in windows mode if it is forcing your Meeting software to minimise.
Quick question! I want to stream my screen on discord. That part is easy. But I want to add a camera overlay there. Is there a way I can stream my screen with an camera overlay on discord? Let me know!!
Hi LS3D. I’ve not tried this but I think if you pick up the OBS plug-in called ‘virtual cam’ you could set up a scene that has all your overlays on and then apply the virtual cam filter to the whole scene. This should then allow you to use this as a camera in Discord and will show all your overlay as it appears in OBS.
Make sure you have discord open before you try capturing it. It should appear with no additional settings. If it doesn’t show try starting it up first before OBS.
So, still no way to avoid the cameras jumping around when someone enter/leaves the call, right? It works with Skype NDI, because every cam can be a source for you to capture, without having to fix the crop everytime. Would be really cool to have this in Discord as well =/
That’s good to know about Skype NDI. I’ve only used this method with Discord, Teams and Zoom so it’s good to know there’s lots of options available for those wanting to use something else. I was just looking into it and seems Skype just needs an OBS plug-in to work. It may well be something Discord looks into adding, they are making big improvements in the app development right now so hopefully they add this. I agree it would be a fab addition. Maybe drop in a suggestion on discord’s Twitter or via their feedback support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/topics
I’ve just searched on the discord community and they have done a solid and already requested this. So I can only suggest to head over and vote it up - I’ve just voted so hope they put this in :) here’s the link support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360072285692--Feature-Suggestion-Multiple-Pop-Out-windows-for-each-video-screen-share-participant?input_string=Feature%20Suggestion%20-%20Video
@@BeckiLea Yeah NDI helps a lot and it's actually simple to setup in obs. I believe there was a certain concern from Discord in adding it due to privacy, but nothing stops anyone from recording a window, as you've just shown. I hope they find a way to add it, because it would help streamers a lot. I stream DnD with friends an it is a real pain to decide between having easy to use cameras with skype, or background music with Discord bots.
@@ESKape_Key it really would be brilliant! I’ve tweeted them linking to the suggestion. Not sure I have enough clout to be noticed but it’s worth a shot ha ha :)
Thank you, Im wondering cause in my group we have people that turn on and off their cameras and discord shifts them around. Is there a solution for this? Cause I could see that messing up the orientation of the cameras in the overlay
Thanks so much for this! When I open up Discord and OBS again, the window captures are still in the sources area, but they’re shrunk down to one pixel on the screen and sometimes placed off the screen entirely!? Any idea on why?
On thin you can do if you want to put stuff over a source but not have it show up OBS is use either a full screen or window preview of just a source, and then window capture that preview into Discord.
Yes you can, either capture the whole screen showing all participants or do 3 separate captures and crop them down to size around each person. Just keep in mind that if someone leaves then the other boxes will move and potentially break the layout with the latter method.
It turned out so good. Thank you so much. I did one rookie mistake. My starting soon scene and stream has ended scenes had default audio on them so you could still hear my guest. Lol. Live and learn.
Looks good and thank you for the video. Do You have an idea how to make a stream with multiple gameplay streams from me and my friends? The idea is: The viewer can see my screen but if it gets boring, I can switch over to the videofeed from my friend and so on.
Hey no problem at all 💜 It can be done in Discord but the quality won’t be best and probably too CPU intensive. However there are now some dedicated services (free for up to two people I think) that can do just what you are looking for. Take a look into Streamyard or Streamlabs Melon (I do try to avoid recommending anything SLOBS but want to give you a few options). These will let you invite guests to the stream and they can share their gameplay too. It’s hosted so no strain on your PC. Something I personally use since making this video is vdo.ninja which is completely free and you can add unlimited guests/cameras/screens and you can capture each individually in OBs. This is again quite resource intensive though and takes some setting up. Hope this puts you on the right track at least. 🤞
Absolutely! I would advise keeping their gameplay smaller on your stream if the quality coming through isn’t the best. If they are streaming live at the same time you could potentially capture a browser source of their game too instead for better quality. If you happen to stream on twitch, they’ve just launched a new feature to add guests to your stream. That could be worth a look if you want to share more than just their faces!
You should be able to go to Tools on the top menu, choose Virtual Camera from the drop down and then hit stop. This should allow you to use your camera in Discord.
Hi Tim - sorry for the late reply, not sure why I didn't get notified! You should be able to do this exactly the same in Zoom. Just have Zoom open as a source in OBS and use the crop tool (hold alt while clicking the resize bumpers) to just show the people you would like. You would need to repeat this for each person if you want them all to have their own movable camera.

that's great I'll be using this soon here on UA-cam.
Awesome!! Glad to help 💜
It turned out so good. Thank you so much. I did one rookie mistake. My starting soon scene and stream has ended scenes had default audio on them so you could still hear my guest. Lol. Live and learn.
such a great video, thank you so much!
Thank you and glad to help 🤩
what if you're sharing screen on discord? would that effect the frames for the other people we are trying to capture?
Looks good and thank you for the video. Do You have an idea how to make a stream with multiple gameplay streams from me and my friends?
The idea is: The viewer can see my screen but if it gets boring, I can switch over to the videofeed from my friend and so on.
Hey no problem at all 💜 It can be done in Discord but the quality won’t be best and probably too CPU intensive. However there are now some dedicated services (free for up to two people I think) that can do just what you are looking for. Take a look into Streamyard or Streamlabs Melon (I do try to avoid recommending anything SLOBS but want to give you a few options). These will let you invite guests to the stream and they can share their gameplay too. It’s hosted so no strain on your PC. Something I personally use since making this video is vdo.ninja which is completely free and you can add unlimited guests/cameras/screens and you can capture each individually in OBs. This is again quite resource intensive though and takes some setting up. Hope this puts you on the right track at least. 🤞
@@BeckiLea Thanks. This might be helpful.
If player 2 streams on discord, could you use that as a source so you could add in their gameplay and not just their face?
Absolutely! I would advise keeping their gameplay smaller on your stream if the quality coming through isn’t the best. If they are streaming live at the same time you could potentially capture a browser source of their game too instead for better quality. If you happen to stream on twitch, they’ve just launched a new feature to add guests to your stream. That could be worth a look if you want to share more than just their faces!
It won't let me enable my camera for discord because it says OBS is using it currently. Is there a way to bypass that?
You should be able to go to Tools on the top menu, choose Virtual Camera from the drop down and then hit stop. This should allow you to use your camera in Discord.
@@BeckiLea ayyye thanks for the reply. I'll check that out soon as I get home ✌🏾
Thanks Becky. Looking to do just this with multiple zoom (8 people). How can I capture them from zoom?
Ps sorry spelt name wrong!!
Hi Tim - sorry for the late reply, not sure why I didn't get notified! You should be able to do this exactly the same in Zoom. Just have Zoom open as a source in OBS and use the crop tool (hold alt while clicking the resize bumpers) to just show the people you would like. You would need to repeat this for each person if you want them all to have their own movable camera.
No worries - technically I spell it wrong ;)
Hi. I got most of this down! But I can’t seem to get the voice audio to work :(
