The first step is to download OBS software. The direct website is https://obsproject.com/download


There are options for PC, MAC, and Linux. Click on Download Installer. Follow the directions for downloading and installing the software.

You will choose “yes” for the License Agreement to install. Choose Install location => pick your directory or leave it as is. Click install. For some older PCs, you may need to download vc_redist.x64 before you can install the OBS studio. It will automatically take you to the website to download the required software.

Once the OBS is completed installing, an auto-configuration Wizard will pop up. Choose Optimize for streaming, recording is secondary. Click next. For Stream Information ==> choose Facebook Live, and continue with the configuration if you want to further customize. At this point, I would leave everything the way it is for right now and click cancel to get out of the configuration.

Amazing training! Definitely something I will come back to when I'm be able to get a new pc. You mentioned you can use Zoom as well?

Is it a way to do Facebook live with an iPhone or iPad and sharing the screen at the same time? Also is there an app so can do screen recording, with sound and facecam at the same time?

Yes, you can use Zoom (not the free version). The pro paid version of Zoom support it. You can use iPhone or iPad to go FB live --

There is a free software called OBS studio which I shared in this tutorial. This software allows you to use your webcam to record yourself, pull up any screen you choose, images, etc. to be on at the same time. It also records your streaming. I have images in my samples. I hope that makes sense.

There is also another software called Streamyard which will work with FB Live. This allows you to do multiple things as well. It is free with a watermark. If you pay their subscription, they will remove the watermark and allow 2 platforms such as FB and youtube.
