Live Stream Requirements
- Download and install OBS Studio from https://obsproject.com/
- Open OBS and go to Settings > Output > Output Mode and select Advanced, then change below where it says "Keyframe Interval" and enter 1 in the input box, then click OK. This step must be done one time only and the setting will be remembered afterwards. OBS is cool...but almost all streaming software systems will work...and we LOVE Mevo, as that camera hooks up directly without needing additional software. Only the free app is needed to produce really PRO streams.
OBS Preparation
- Get familiar with how OBS works, how to set up scenes, or other basic setup configurations.
- OBS tutorials and guides are largely available, i.e. https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/the-most-in-depth-obs-course-ever-made.601/
