While I won\u2019t go through a lot of detail here, just know that you can set up things like Command (\u2318)-B to start (begin) recording, Command (\u2318)-F to end (finish) recording, Command (\u2318)-1 to bring up the Preshow Roll scene, Command (\u2318)-2 to bring up the LiveStream scene, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a hotkey, find the scene on the Hotkeys pane you wish to set up a hotkey for, click in the specific field for the action you want to control (for example, \u201cShow \u2018FaceTime\u2019\u201d, then type the keyboard shortcut.

Having a number of video sources to switch between can make for much more interesting video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re doing a solo show, don\u2019t just use the FaceTime camera on your MacBook Pro as the only source. Set up another camera or two at different angles or distances from you, and switch between them frequently. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you have to run out and buy an expensive new webcam \u2014 in fact, you probably already own a \u201cwebcam\u201d that\u2019s much better than those available from third parties: your iPhone or iPad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">iPhone \/ iPad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several apps that are available for both Mac and PC that provide a way to connect an iPhone or iPad as a webcam. The app I selected was <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/camera-for-obs-studio\/id1352834008\">Camera for OBS Studio<\/a> ($15.99), which can be used both with iPhones and iPads, with either low-latency USB or Wi-Fi connections, and offers a lot of capture settings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camera for OBS Studio works with <a href=\"https:\/\/obs.camera\/docs\/getting-started\/ios-camera-plugin-usb\/\">an OBS plugin that must be installed on the Mac or PC being used.<\/a> Should you decide to use a Wi-Fi connection, the <a href=\"https:\/\/obsproject.com\/forum\/resources\/obs-ndi-newtek-ndi%E2%84%A2-integration-into-obs-studio.528\/\">NewTek NDI plugin for OBS Studio<\/a> can be downloaded from OBS for free.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture.jpg\" alt=\"Using an iPhone as a camera through the Camera for OBS Studio app and a USB connection.\" class=\"wp-image-63523\" width=\"640\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture-174x120.jpg 174w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture-284x196.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture-190x131.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture-174x120@2x.jpg 348w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture-284x196@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/iOSCapture-190x131@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Using an iPhone as a camera through the Camera for OBS Studio app and a USB connection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t want to be holding onto your iPhone during a streaming session, so I recommend getting a small tripod and a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Glif (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.studioneat.com\/products\/glif\" target=\"_blank\">Glif<\/a> to hold your iPhone steady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For streaming sporting events, you might want to use several iPhones or iPads, each assigned to OBS as a separate source, and switch between those sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One other quick hint: the USB connection is really lag-free, so unless your Wi-Fi connection is extremely fast, I&#8217;d recommend using USB to connect  Camera for OBS to your Mac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camera manufacturer Canon has made the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/internet\/portal\/us\/home\/support\/self-help-center\/eos-webcam-utility\/\">EOS Webcam Utility<\/a> available as beta software so that owners of a variety of the company\u2019s EOS DSLR and mirrorless cameras can use those high-quality cameras as webcams. For those who own Nikon or cameras made by other manufacturers, as long as your camera has an HDMI output, you can use a device like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elgato.com\/en\/gaming\/cam-link-4k\">Elgato Cam Link 4K<\/a> ($129.99)&nbsp; to convert the HDMI output to a video format usable with OBS.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to possible video sources, you\u2019ll find that any window on your Mac \u2014 whether it\u2019s from Zoom, Skype, FaceTime, or really any other app you want to show off \u2014 is a great OBS source.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially if you\u2019re demonstrating a game or app to others, using an app window as a source works very well. As an example, let\u2019s set up a FaceTime window as a source.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1)&nbsp; Add a new scene to OBS; in this case, I\u2019ll call it FaceTime Call. Just click the plus ( + ) button under Scenes in OBS, type in the name of the scene, and press return or click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Launch FaceTime. You don\u2019t need to be in a call to set it up as a source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3)&nbsp; The source list for the newly created scene is empty. Click the plus button under Sources, and select Window capture. Select Create New, and give it a name \u2014 FaceTime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) When you press return or click OK, a window titled \u201cProperties for \u2018FaceTime\u2019\u201d appears. About two-thirds of the way down that window is a pop-up menu showing every window currently open on your Mac with the name of the app and the window name. For FaceTime, this is [FaceTime] FaceTime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some windows may not have names associated with them. If that\u2019s the case with the window you\u2019re trying to use as a source, check the \u201cShow windows with empty names\u201d box and see if it appears. There\u2019s also a checkbox for \u201cShow window shadow\u201d, which displays a smaller window in OBS, but puts an attractive shadow around it. Click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow.jpg\" alt=\"Using FaceTime as a source window for OBS\" class=\"wp-image-63524\" width=\"640\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow-228x120.jpg 228w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow-284x150.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow-190x100.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow-228x120@2x.jpg 456w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow-284x150@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/FaceTimeAsASourceWindow-190x100@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Using FaceTime as a source window for OBS<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>5) FaceTime appears in the OBS Preview window, showing a red outline around the window. It\u2019s useful to make sure that the entire FaceTime window appears in the Preview window, so you may need to stretch the red outline by grabbing one of the handles to make it bigger or smaller.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, ANY window can be used as a source. However, if an app \u201ctakes over\u201d the screen \u2014 like Keynote or PowerPoint in \u201cPlay\u201d mode, OBS doesn\u2019t \u201csee\u201d that window. It\u2019s more useful to output the presentation as a video (Play &gt; Record Video in Keynote), then use your video playback app (like QuickTime Player) as the source.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Audio Sources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the built-in microphone on your Mac may be a perfectly adequate source of voice audio, for best results you\u2019ll want to use an <strong>external microphone<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/MacSales.com\">MacSales.com<\/a> sells two professional mics that are perfect for live sound; the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/AKG\/2331A00070\/\">AKG C1000S Professional Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone<\/a> is best for voice, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/item\/AKG\/3101H00070\/\">AKG Perception 170 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone<\/a> is better for picking up musical instruments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you might notice is that if you have both music and voices coming into your feed at the same time, a talking voice sometimes drowns out the music or the tune makes the voice unintelligible. That\u2019s where a <strong>mixer<\/strong> might come in handy in order to balance out the various feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behringer makes the <a href=\"https:\/\/behringer.com\/behringer\/product?modelCode=P0ALQ\">Xenyx Q1202USB<\/a>, a relatively inexpensive (around $150) yet powerful mixer that\u2019s perfect for live-streaming.

COVID-19 stopped an exercise class I was in for a while until the class leader decided to livestream on Zoom. The class is done to music, but when the instructor would give out verbal instructions, the music was muted horribly. I set her up with a mixer, with one input being a wireless lavalier mic and the other being the iPod she still uses for music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were able to run both inputs into the mixer, then use the controls to achieve a balance of music and instructions that is very clear and consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, software can be used to mimic a lot of hardware, so <a href=\"https:\/\/rogueamoeba.com\/loopback\/\">Loopback<\/a> from Rogue Amoeba is a handy way to mix a lot of sources on your Mac. <a href=\"https:\/\/rogueamoeba.com\/soundsource\/\">SoundSource<\/a> is another Rogue Amoeba app that can help you adjust volume and input levels from various sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been following along with our examples up to this point, you\u2019ve probably come to the realization that although OBS is quite powerful, it lacks certain features that you might see on \u201creal\u201d streams and would like for your productions. Fortunately, OBS has a rather robust set of resources (both free and commercial) that extend the usability of the app. Often, a look through <a href=\"https:\/\/obsproject.com\/forum\/resources\/\">the list of resources<\/a> will point you to something that\u2019s just what you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools.jpg\" alt=\"OBS offers a large library of resources to extend the functionality of this open-source tool\" class=\"wp-image-63528\" width=\"640\" height=\"397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools-194x120.jpg 194w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools-284x176.jpg 284w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools-190x118.jpg 190w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools-194x120@2x.jpg 388w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools-284x176@2x.jpg 568w, https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/OBSTools-190x118@2x.jpg 380w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>OBS offers a large library of resources to extend the functionality of this open-source tool<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll start with plugins, which are software extensions to OBS that add functionality.

Since NDI is an industry-standard, there are many NDI sources. There are Mac apps that turn input from external webcams into NDI streams that can be used in OBS, This plugin can even output as NDI, meaning that you could have numerous sources plugged into one Mac running OBS, transport the main program view over NDI, and use that NDI source on another Mac that is transmitting the main stream.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This plugin is required in order to use the Camera for OBS Studio iOS \/ iPadOS app described earlier over a Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/obsproject.com\/forum\/resources\/obs-websocket-remote-control-obs-studio-from-websockets.466\/\">**obs-websocket &#8211; Remote-control OBS Studio from Websockets**<\/a>: Want to run OBS on a Mac, but you want to control it from another location?
