However, this is not entirely the case. Over the last couple of years, people in general and even gamers themselves like to watch other gamers play and nobody saw this coming in the early days of gaming. Because of this, video streaming sites like YouTube have come up with sections for gaming. There is even a dedicated streaming service for gaming, that is Twitch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5 tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-is-twitch.jpg\" onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-is-twitch.jpg\" width=\"300\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Twitch, also known as Twitch.tv is a video-game broadcasting and viewing platform, where viewers can enjoy watching  their favorite players as they broadcast themselves playing the games, usually with an audio commentary.

OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is a free and open source live video production software, which is supported by a large community of developers from around the world. <span class=\"underline-yellow\">With OBS, users can produce live videos, live streaming and record videos.<\/span> If you want to use OBS, a setup wizard will ask you if you would like to optimize the software for recording or live streaming when you are installing it,  because it has the ability to mix together many different audio visual sources into a live video production environment. If what is offered by OBS is not enough, this software also supports many plugins which can extend the functionalities of the software, such as VST plugins, NDI support, and stream deck controls. OBS can record a screencast and save it locally as a video file (please refer to Part 3 of this article to see where the files are locally saved on your computer.) OBS can also live stream from services like YouTube Gaming, Twitch etc., and allows you to add additional elements to your stream, so you can add live video from your webcam, image overlays, and other visual elements. Therefore, how to use OBS? How to record with OBS? We will explore that in the next segment of this article.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-md-5 tc\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-is-obs-open-broadcaster-software.jpg\" onClick=\"return hs.expand(this)\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"p3 projection ml15 mb15 img_big lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-is-obs-open-broadcaster-software.jpg\" width=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\" id=\"part2\"><strong>Part 2: How to Stream on Twitch with OBS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before you start streaming Twitch on OBS, Twitch itself recommends you fairly powerful hardware for streaming the content. Twitch recommends you to use a computer with <b>an Intel Core i5-4670<\/b> or <b>AMD equivalent CPU<\/b>, <b>at least 8 GB of DDR3 SDRAM<\/b>, and <b>a newer operating system<\/b> (at least Windows 8 or higher is better, the same is also true for macOS and its required to have 10.13 or higher installed). Another thing you need to ensure is that you have <b>a fast and stable internet connection<\/b> for higher quality streams, which is a prerequisite for any kind of streaming anyway. Lastly, you are going to need to download and install OBS on your computer. OBS is available for Windows 8 or higher, macOS 10.13 or higher, and Linux Ubuntu 18.04 or newer. Please refer to the steps below:<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1:<\/b> Open the Twitch website, login to your account and get a Twitch.tv Stream Key. On the top-right corner of the Twitch homepage, select \u201cDashboard\u201d, and click the \u201cStream Key\u201d heading.

The quickest way to find this location is clicking (File > Show Recordings) within the OBS application itself. You can also change the save location for your convenience, by going to Settings> Output and then clicking the \u201cRecording\u201d section.
