Why take this course?

OBS Studio is a fantastic piece of free software, constantly updated and maintained and used by thousands of streamers and creatives worldwide. If you are now considering dipping your toe into the world of streaming or screen-recording for tutorials then this is the course for you.

I start from the very beginning by adding an image to a scene. From there I work into more complex topics slowly and carefully, always in a chatty and relaxed way. No high-power, in your face snappy tutorials here. All is calm and very zen. At the end of the course you will have a great grasp of OBS Studio and be able to concentrate on expressing your creativity rather than worrying about the software.

This course covers:

A basic overview of OBS Studio
Adding Image, Video and Camera sources to scenes
Working with source filters
Creating a set of multiple scenes
Scene nesting
Audio / Video sync
Streaming and recording settings
Elgato Stream Deck

The only requirement for this course is either a PC or Mac with access to the internet. A webcam (internal is fine) would be ideal, as well as a Facebook account - used when testing live-streaming (don't worry, we don't go 'live' on the course).

Come along with me as we work through OBS Studio and demystify this amazing application and release our creativity on the world.

Although, I had used OBS earlier, but this course provided me extra confidence to begin my own journey without less fear of rejection. I am Thankful to you :-)

He is a fantastic instructor. His use of language is top notch. Course is broken down into sections that build upon each other.

Temel bilgileri çok güzel öğrendim ve şu anda OBS kullanarak isteklerim doğrultusunda orta düzey videolar oluşturabiliyorum. Biraz daha yaratıcı uygulamalar olabilirmiş, örnekleri ilginç gelmedi.

Wonderful course! I rarely get the time to finish the Udemy courses that I purchase. And often the instructions in some of the courses do not work correctly on different operating systems or different software versions. Everything in this course worked and was clearly explained. I learned a lot of new tricks to add to my toolkit. I have already recommended it to a couple of other people.

As someone who knows nothing about streaming and is learning as I go, this has been so helpful. I feel supported throughout, you provide very simple explanations and examples that resonate with me. The only problem that I found is that as someone who can't take in a lot of info all at once, some of the videos are a bit too long for me to focus on and fully understand, even with taking notes - perhaps some sub categories could be useful? Even with that, I 100% recommend this course!

I've used OBS for a while, so I knew most of this, but I learned some new tricks on how to use green screens and color adjustments. This is better than most YouTube videos because the application selections were clearly shown.

I am half way through the course. I like the straight forward progression. The reason why I gave only 4 stars is because I can't find anywhere to download the resources in bulk. It is very annoying downloading each resource individually.

Great rhythm and up to the point. No dilly dallies here. Cup of tea a little bit quaint. But such is life...

Simon (The Instructor) was incredibly detailed and personable. I enjoyed learning from him and would be very interested in an advanced course from Simon on OBS. I will also look at his other courses to see if he has additional subjects that would be useful to me. Well done, sir.

i just finished the intro. when I downloaded OBS for windows I came to a window that spoke about usage Information. underneath are three options. by default option 2 and 3 are already selected. when I wanted to change to Optimize for streaming, recording secondary it didn't let me do it... and her is my first challenge. i dont know what to do as I am using an ASUS laptop ASUS 17" ProArt StudioBook Pro 17 Laptop (Star Gray)

Exactly what I wanted - an 'open the front door and walk in' course. I needed absolute basics and this delivers.
