Trying to Set Up a Stream

[St. Dorothy Kitty]

I'd like to get a regular stream going, but got some questions. Based on my specs (to follow), what are the settings people recommend?

Processor: AMD FX - 8150 Eight-Core Processor 3.60GHz
Installed RAM: 10GB
System type: 64-bit OS
Service Pack 1
Windows 7 Home Premium
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6850
Upload Speed: 7.09 Mbps

It's a HP if it matters.

Also, how can I get Skype call audio to be in the stream too? And video? Either of a Skype call or just with my webcam? I'm trying to do the Open Broadcast software.

dude with that processor I think you can run it at anything but you never listed a graphics card and I dunno if the fx's integrated graphics are good enough and I think your upload speed may matter I dunno it might just be a longer delay

As for getting audio and video from skype obs normally has one scene ready to use all you need to do is add a source by right-clicking the source box then click "add" and it's probably "window capture" now right click the source and open up properties put a check on "sub region" and then re-size that rectangle that pops up to where exactly on the window you want it so you can choose whatever webcam feed from either you or a friend

(I think you can also enter the sizes manually on the dialog box and move the rectangle to where you want whichever you find easier.)

repeat that for each person's webcam thing

Now scenes are all their own entities and can hold whichever sources you want and you can switch between the scenes so you can have different things ready in the background to switch between so place your sources in each scene carefully.

I dunno about audio (it's probably automatic) but I'm sure someone else knows but know this, it's fairly easy to use and I just downloaded it now to explain this to you, basic trial and error will get you far. You can always preview before streaming anyway just to make sure it's perfect.

Uh in order to broadcast on twitch you just go to "settings" (click on settings then settings again) and then go to "broadcast settings" and enter all the info there I think just slapping on the twitch stream key works (I just started to try broadcasting.)

((I might add pictures in a bit.))

((or if you want I can walk you through it by streaming myself setting up a broadcast but with no audio I don't have a mic so I wouldn't be able to tell you but I could definitely test sound stuff))

Oh shit. Yeah. Graphics card! It is:

AMD Radeon HD 6850
Upload Speed: 7.09 Mbps

After you've fiddled around and stuff, yeah definitely run me through the steps you did! That would be great! I mean, you already gave me some helpful shit already lol :) Thanks!

I forgot the internet always has something ready I'm pretty sure this follows everything

I'm not sure if he mentions a stream key or not but if you are using twitch log in and then go to http://twitch.tv/broadcast
