Below, you'll find the step-by-step guide on HOW TO INSTALL AND SET UP OBS.
If you don't already have it, you must first download and install OBS on your computer from the following link https://obsproject.com (other RTMP apps such as StreamLabs can be used as well).
The setup is easy if you follow the steps described in the video and the information provided below:
The first step is to look for Controls in the lower right corner of the OBS Studio interface and select Settings.
SETTINGS
In this section, you will be able to open and adjust the settings of the required elements: Stream, Output, Audio and Video.
STREAM
On the Stream menu, the following three fields with the information shown when you choose Broadcast in HD with OBS on the site must be filled in: Service, Server, and Stream Key.
OUTPUT
On this section, enter the following information for the OBS basic configuration settings as shown below:
AUDIO
On the Audio menu, under the General section, you simply need to select the sample rate that matches the following value:
VIDEO
On the Video menu, it is very important to adjust the settings according to the displayed values:
ADD CAMERA AND MICROPHONE
To add both devices go to the Sources section within OBS.
In this section the [+] symbol can be used to add a device and the [-] symbol to remove it. To add a camera click the [+] symbol and then select the option: Video capture device.
Then add a MICROPHONE by clicking on the [+] symbol and in the dropdown menu select the option: Audio input capture.
Once all of the configurations listed above have been correctly set, you are ready to start broadcasting on the site using OBS. To start your broadcast with OBS, follow these steps:
In OBS, click on Start Streaming. Up to this point, you are not live yet and no one can see you at this moment.
Then, go to the BROADCAST tab on the site. If all the steps have been followed correctly, the status tab will appear as DETECTED.
If the status is DETECTED, you can now click on Broadcast NOW and you're set, you're now live with OBS! Users can see you.
We wish you a great show!

If you have followed all the steps but the status still appears as Not Detected. Please contact us and we will help you with the setup right away, either via an admin call or a support ticket.
IMPORTANT: When you broadcast with OBS, first set up the app, then start broadcasting from the site. It's important not to use the camera simultaneously with other applications, otherwise OBS may not detect the device.
NOTE: The broadcast image can be seen in OBS, everything else, such as Privates, chats, games, and interactions with users, will be managed from your broadcast page on our site as usual.
If you broadcast with OBS from your computer and later you want to broadcast from a mobile device, first make sure to log out of the site and OBS sessions, as the broadcasts may interfere with each other.
If users report stuttering, buffering, or delays in your broadcast, they might be using a slow internet connection or a mobile device to watch the broadcast. For this reason, we recommend Minimum settings [SD] with 900 Kbps video bitrate and 20 FPS.
