What do you need to livestream from your bedroom?
Is your computer good enough? Can you do it with your MacBook Air?

If you don’t have a discrete GPU or are fine with a lower quality video and no creative flexibility - Streamyard is your friend. Or perhaps even Zoom…
If you want to have fancy effects, interact with your community live and stream at the high video quality, then I don’t have an easy answer for you, but I have a 30 seconds demo:
These 30 seconds are cut from the last Friday’s OBS-shmobs class. The full video is 1 hour and it covers:
What can you do if you have a gaming laptop or a PC
What can be your bottleneck that spoils everything
Overview of a proper OBS setup vs going with defaults
Explaining the setup that I use for live video podcasts
You have access to this video if you see the #OBS-shmobs channel in Discord.
It doesn’t cover the drama of how I didn’t test the new webcam properly and it became glitchy at the worst possible time.
The next class is on Friday at 11 AM CET
