Now you can start setting up your screen layout. First, you will need to add the Camera, Microphone, and Audio. Click the + sign.


Select the Video Capture Device. This is your camera view. Click ok to create new camera.


Choose your camera or use your default camera from the pull-down menu. Click Ok

Do the same for Audio Input Capture (microphone) and Audio Output Capture (speaker). Select your audio device. It could be headphones, microphone, or speakers.


After the essentials are added, now you can choose other types of windows to include in your streaming such as color Source, Display Capture, Game Capture, Image, Image Slide Show, and others. You can test them out to see what works best for you. I’ll let you figure it out as you go.


Here is a sample of what you can have streaming using Facebook. I added a browser and a window capture. The browser is my website Pho Queen Cooking and the window capture can be your Firefox, Google Chrome, or any other browsers.


Make sure you can see both the OBS interface and Facebook Live. Once you are happy with your layout, click “Start Streaming” on OBS.

Wow A lot of good information. I am not one for learning how to use things like this very easily but would love to learn more about how too.

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.
