Streamlabs (OBS) 2021 masterclass from beginner to advanced

Master Streamlabs general settings to manage cache, cloud import, hardware acceleration, default devices, virtual webcam, language, and output options, including start/stop confirmations, auto-record, and source alignment for precise scene placement.

Set up stream and output in advanced mode, link platforms with YouTube as primary; enable GPU encoding for 1080p60 at 6000 kbps, 2-second keyframes, and visual tuning, plus recording destination.

Configure audio with one desktop and one microphone, keeping others at default. Set resolution with 60 fps for fast games or 30 fps for slower games based on upload speed.

Add keyboard hotkeys to control stream labs. Enable dynamic battery change to adjust bitrate with internet fluctuations for smoother streams.

Export and import scene collections with an overlay file to share designs or use third-party scenes in Stream Labs. Adjust appearance with dark or light themes and set double-click preferences.

Use remote control tab to operate stream labs from your mobile with the stream deck app by scanning a code, then enable virtual cam so your stream labs are visible.

Configure the game overlay to display chat, recent events, and other widgets on your screen. Adjust placement, opacity, and hotkeys, and manage third-party apps from the Stream Labs App Store.

Set up your stream mic in basic settings, position a condenser or dynamic mic correctly, and apply filters like the gain filter after testing audio monitoring.

Learn to use compressor, noise suppressor, and expander filters in streamlabs obs to stabilize volume, remove background noise, and mute quiet keystrokes for clearer streams.

Create an empty scene with game and camera captures, configure alerts with custom gifts and sounds from the Streamlabs library, and name scenes for games or chat.

Add a window capture source from the sources panel, select the target window from the drop-down, and resize to fit the scene. If unavailable, use display capture.

Add a video capture device, place and resize it on the scene, apply a chroma key to remove green, then adjust color grading, zoom, and focus for best streaming visuals.

Create custom Facebook alerts for two engagement types via the dashboard and alert box. Customize page follows, donations, stars, gifts, and shares, then disable early free alerts to avoid spam.

Customize follow alerts by choosing a layout, animation, and a message showing the follower's name, then upload a GIF, select a sound, adjust text delay, set duration, and pick colors.

Learn to create donation-based alert variations in Streamlabs OBS, assigning distinct messages, images, sounds, durations, and triggers for each donation amount, and to display and test them in your stream.

Create a dedicated intro scene, add a media source, browse to your video file, set loop off, enable restart playback and hardware decoding, then activate the scene to play.

Learn how to add a second streamer camera via Discord by using window capture in Streamlabs, disabling hardware acceleration, and resizing the Discord window to a corner.

Learn to create custom stream alerts by filming and editing gifs with music, applying copyright-free or licensed tracks, green screen, and proper lighting, then upload within size limits.

Explore streamlabs prime features, including multi-platform streaming, premium themes, thumbnails, and alert music, and learn how to merge YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook accounts for simultaneous streams.

Go live by selecting platforms, enabling advanced settings, and customizing titles, descriptions, thumbnails, and social links; monitor alerts and audio, switch scenes, and end the stream when ready.
