How to STREAM on TWITCH! *5 MIN* (2023 Tutorial) (PC)

How’s it going everyone today i’m going to be teaching you how you guys can stream right now today this is going to be a quick video because i don’t want you guys watching a 20 minute video and it takes like an hour for you to set

This up i want to make this quick for you guys and as simple as possible enjoy there are two major applications you can use to stream one is called obs studios and the other one is called streamlabs obs i will be showing you guys how to stream from obs studios today however

They are very similar and you can follow along no matter which application you are using both of them are linked in the description below as you download one of these two applications you will want to go to speedtest.net which is also linked in the description to check your internet

Speeds it is recommended to have a stream upload speed of 8 but it is possible to go slightly lower than that and still maintain a good quality stream once you have downloaded your streaming software go ahead open it up it should look very similar to mine however you

Will not have anything in this bottom left corner i only have stuff there because i already use this software for you you have nothing so you’ll need to go to click add right here by this plus sign press ok you can name the scene whatever you want this will be your main gameplay

Scene press ok and then bring up a black screen just like this go to your sources which is right next to it click on the plus sign there go to display capture this will allow you to capture your screen to your obs studios or streamlabs obs whichever one you use click on that

Create a new one i already have one existing just because i like i said before i use this program but you guys will have nothing down there so you need to create new one press ok and it should pop up if you’ve got two monitors make sure you click the right

One by selecting this drop down menu below press ok and there you go you got your gameplay slash display already on your screen that’s perfect next thing you’re going to need to do is add your mic so go ahead and add another source for your microphone go to audio input

Capture create a new one and then select your microphone that’s plugged in your pc it can be a headset mic or a standalone mic it doesn’t matter as long as it’s connected click it and press ok now you will notice that there’s a bar displaying how loud you are and make

Sure you don’t go too loud you can also adjust these settings in a future video i will be talking about also underneath the audio input capture which is your microphone will be desktop audio this will show how loud your pc is so your game or any youtube videos you may be watching

If you have a webcam and you want to insert it just go add another source go to video capture device create new and then select your webcam from the options below i will not be inserting mine because i’m already using mine to record this video also very important right here you will need

To connect your twitch account to obs studios or streamlabs obs go to stream and press use stream key this you will be able to copy and paste your stream key into here and start streaming in order to find your stream key go to twitch in the upper right hand corner

Click on your profile go to settings channel and videos and it should be right here labeled primary stream key copy make sure you don’t show anyone this because this is very uh private paste that into there and press apply next go to output go to simple make sure

You are streaming at 6000 kbps as your video bitrate this is very important especially if you’ve got a good upload speed like eight or higher if you have an upload speed that’s lower than eight you will have to lower this accordingly um and you’re just gonna have to test

Stream it out and make sure that your internet is good and your quality is good next you’re gonna wanna do is most likely you will choose hardware and bank because this is streaming with your gpu and this is streaming with your cpu you can try both like i said you should

Probably stream uh before you actually want to start streaming just as a test stream to see how things work however i do recommend using hardware and bank and then go ahead and don’t enable these advanced encoder settings i’ll be doing a future video on this where i can show

You like all the advanced settings that you will want for streaming however this isn’t that important and you should have the basics down just by following the tips in this video next go down to video make sure your base canvas resolution is the size of your monitor most likely

Will be 1920 by 1080 and then go to your output resolution and never go above 1280 by 720 at least not to start so answer that there go to lang so sharpen scaling down here in the other drop down menu and then it will probably have 30

Fps down here change that to 60. if you’re streaming and you’re having issues make sure you change that back down to 30 but however 60fps is a lot better than 30fps but there are plenty of streamers that use 30fps so don’t feel bad if you need to go 3dfps

After that guys you are done thank you guys so much for watching this video i will be doing uh updates and tips and tricks to make your stream better in the future uh please leave a sub uh this is what youtubers do like whatever also i stream almost every day except
