CLASS DESCRIPTION: Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) is a powerful open-source streaming platform. Using OBS can be as simple or complex as you need it to be. This software allows you to stream events, including games, church services, and classes. Its crystal-clear video and customizable elements lets you adapt to your streaming to your individual needs. From scenes to transitions, this class will teach you how to connect your screen, audio, and streaming platform into OBS. OBS is also universal, which means that you can use it to stream on different platforms, including Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live. OBS lets you create seamless transitions between camera and screen for business presentations. You can also create “triggered” elements for your class to keep them engaged. Mastering even the basic elements of OBS will help you create a professional and interactive environment for whatever audience you serve.
