In the first installment of this series<\/a>, we introduced you to Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)<\/strong> and provided reasons why you might want to use this powerful and free Mac application for video streaming and recording. Today, we\u2019ll show you how to download, install, and do an initial configuration of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Download and Install OBS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To start with, you\u2019ll need to download the OBS app. Unless you\u2019re planning to tweak the app with your own code and compile it, we recommend downloading the pre-compiled installer from Download | OBS<\/a>. Be sure to click the big Apple logo in the middle (see image below) so you don\u2019t accidentally download the Windows or Linux versions of the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The OBS Download Page<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once the file download is complete, double-click the obs-mac-25.0.8.dmg file (the number may vary depending on the current release). That opens the OBS installer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To
To install OBS on your Mac, just drag the OBS icon at left to the Applications folder icon on the right<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Drag the OBS icon on the left to the Applications folder icon on the right, and the app is installed into the Applications folder of your Mac. At this point, you can eject the OBS disk image icon by dragging it to Trash or right-clicking it and selecting Eject \u201cOBS\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Configuring the OBS App<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So far, so good. The first time you launch the OBS app, you\u2019ll see a dialog similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Click
Click Open to continue launching OBS<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Click Open to continue launching the app. Next, OBS displays a dialog requesting access to \u201creceive keystrokes from any application\u201d. Click the Open System Preferences button, then click the Lock icon and enter your password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Allow
Allow OBS to receive keystrokes from any application<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check the box next to OBS. You\u2019ll be asked to quit OBS now or later, and since we need to make some other changes, I\u2019d suggest clicking the Later button. Close out of System Preferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another dialog asks for permission to access the microphone on your Mac to enable audio input. Click OK. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you\u2019ll see another dialog over the OBS window, asking if you would like to run the auto-configuration wizard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The auto-configuration wizard makes initial setup of OBS fast and easy<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since you can change settings later as you add more sources to your new video studio, go ahead and click Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, Mac\u2019s Notification Center will ask if you wish to Allow notifications from the app. Click Allow.  Next, you\u2019ll be asked whether you wish to optimize the app for streaming or recording video. If you\u2019ll be using it more for streaming than recording, click the \u201cOptimize for streaming, recording is secondary\u201d button. For those who are just going to record video, the \u201cOptimize just for recording, I will not be streaming\u201d button is more appropriate.  Once you\u2019ve clicked the correct button, click Next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Click
Click the appropriate button depending on whether you wish to use OBS primarily for streaming or recording<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now you\u2019re asked to specify the desired video settings you would like to use. As noted, the canvas resolution isn\u2019t the resolution you\u2019ll stream or record at. OBS suggested a 1792 x 1120 canvas size for my 16-inch MacBook Pro, but I bumped that up to 1920 x 1080 resolution (1080p).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"During
During setup, you can either accept the suggestion from OBS or enter your own resolution and frame rate settings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

OBS also asks for a default frames per second (fps) setting. I selected \u201cEither 60 or 30, but prefer 60 when possible.\u201d For those with older underpowered Macs, an fps setting of 30 might be more realistic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A
A partial list of locations you can send an OBS stream to…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now we get into the fun part \u2014 setting up the stream if you selected \u201cOptimize for streaming\u201d earlier. Want to see just how many streams OBS supports? Select \u201cShow all\u201d from the Service pop-up menu and you\u2019ll see something similar to what you see at right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the purposes of this example, I\u2019m selecting Facebook Live, but the stream setup for other services is similar. We need to enter a Stream Key, which is basically the \u201ccode\u201d that ties your OBS stream to Facebook Live and allows your stream to take place. To get a stream key, click the Get Stream Key button and in this case, you\u2019ll be sent to Facebook Live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Getting
Getting ready to set up the stream and receive a stream key on Facebook Live<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

On this page, click the Create Live Stream button, which takes you to the Facebook Live Producer page. You\u2019re asked if you wish to use a Stream Key, use a camera built into your phone, tablet or computer, or use a paired encoder. For OBS, click Use Stream Key. Once that\u2019s done, a small dialog explains that you can use the Live Producer to see how your live video is performing, moderate comments, and create highlights of your stream. Click Done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the left side of the Facebook Live Producer page is a sidebar with buttons that let you go live immediately or schedule a live video. You can also choose your own user profile or a page or group you manage as the recipient of the stream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Facebook
Facebook Live features a very complete Live Producer page for managing streams<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Since we are using OBS to create the slick-looking video stream, Facebook Live Producer also displays the server URL (what OBS connects to) and the unique stream key. Should you decide that you want to do livestreams on a regular basis on Facebook, check the \u201cUse a Persistent Stream Key\u201d box so that the same stream key can be used every time you go live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copy the stream key, then head back to OBS and paste it into the Stream Key field on the Auto-Configuration Wizard. Make sure the \u201cEstimate bitrate with bandwidth test\u201d checkbox is checked, then click Next. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point, the bandwidth test streams randomized video data and no audio to your channel. After a minute or so, testing is completed and you\u2019ll see results similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The OBS Auto-Configuration Wizard tests bandwidth and show suggested settings<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In this case, OBS found that the resolution and frames per second that were selected were optimum, so clicking the Apply Settings button saves those settings into the app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Next?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve set up our streaming and tested the connection, but we need to set up scenes<\/strong> and sources<\/strong> before we can impress the world with our livestream. We\u2019ll cover these important topics in the next chapter of this OBS series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
