Have been streaming for a while but there are tips here that i never thought I would need until now. Gonna have to try these out if it's doable on my mac.

[@brokenminddancer6836]

Thank you
Good video

[@KLRCAT]

7:40 - 7:44 - I noticed you didn't add the color key part to the tutorial, and the key was just done after the clip cut.
For anyone who wants to know;
Right Click on source you want to key
Click "Filters"
Click the "+" button
Click "Color Key"
Change "Key Color Type" to "Custom Color"
Click "Select Color" then Click "Pick Screen Color"
Hover and Click your cursor over what you want to key out then Click "Ok"
Adjust the "Similarity" and "Smoothness" to fine tune the key to get the desired result.

i cant change the window capture box to a custom square, the preset retangle just keeps getting smaller and smaller, re: min 5.52

[@rogsninja5304]

Hey I got a random question hope you see this somehow. What would be the best way to broadcast a game. I like to host a chess tournament for friends but want to be able to broadcast the game in the other room so people can watch on the TV. I can stream my PC to the TV but im not sure if the DGT boards can support live play for broadcasting and want to double check before buying because they are expensive.

[@drewblanche]

What webcam do you recommend for a Mac?

[@ykurat7788]

Can you help me that you told hold the off key to make smaller..where is that sign off key on the keyboard

[@Elvism2]

How you move the pieces?

[@brokenminddancer6836]

i cant choos the screen in capture creen. doesn't show it as an option

[@no0bers115]

When I try to do it on CZcams it says I can't start because I need to manage broadcast

[@thedipesh7513]

The window capture is just fixed how to start playing game ?

[@theexistentialist.5530]

On the phone , I don't play on the computer , how do I screen on the the phone on twitch??

[@kolle2]

Hi, how can I hide yhe black bars behind my name and timer, and my opponents name and timer. In the video they just dissapeared and I would like to do the same. Thanks in advance for any tips :)

[@millionerironbat3847]

Is it work on mobile streaming or not. Everyonynot have high configuration system

[@Danosfirato]

Thanks fir the video mate ,, is it possible to create all above by using mobile? Kindly advise

[@sunshinicyy]

no, but if you want to you can on twitch but just your game will be visible and not the web cam, but i suggest a laptop

[@DeAguaMusic]

Can I use this program to do online chess lessons through zoom for example?

[@aranhawaii]

Yes. You'd add the Virtual Cam addon, which you can learn how to do here: czcams.com/video/0ujJZFvyYAc/video.html

[@Mrmustafalyrics]

Can’t I stream with my mobile phone without using OBS Studio?

[@pharaohmason1gaming176]

when i capture why do i have two screens need help

[@greatone1000]

Is there a way to get away with the background in the webcam and focus is just on the person?

[@timmellis5038]

I can't figure out how to start playing chess on Twitch. If I screen capture the board and then play, my chessboard messes up because I put the chessboard (I play on) on one side of my screen and Streamlabs on the other half of my screen so as to watch both. It doesn't work. The board gets messed up because the window has changed because of the split screen. In other words, the screen capture changes because the screen changes.
And if I were to go on Twitch that would change the screen, changing the screen capture, and Twitch would show up instead of the chessboard.
Do they use two computers somehow making that work?
Thanks,

[@Sandro-qz5yn]

Are you adding source Window Capture? It seems like you are using Display Capture

[@martin_mum]

Chess screen is not appearing on OBS. I have followed your steps. Does any one has same issue?

[@lekha5525]

me , tell me if u solve i t

[@Elvism2]

Same thing

[@ayushthakur7]

Pls tell us how to stream by streamlabs also

[@aranhawaii]

Same basic steps. Streamlabs is built off the OBS Studio code. Almost everything is the same.

[@pt11mc51]

@@aranhawaii but if they show it will be better

[@krismadison4765]

Can anybody help i cant move my pieces

[@Elvism2]

I don't get it 😢

[@brian8507]

Does this work for checkers?

[@debdattadhamaliroy7677]

Yep

[@demakgamesuz]

how can I see live comments while streaming?

[@dudemanaric]

Second monitor or you mean with one?

[@coosoorlog]

I shouldn't watch this video. I have stuff to do in my life. So much stuff. I can barely manage as it is. There's no conceivable way I could start streaming chess and somehow keep my life together.

[@Elvism2]

9:15 you lost me here 😂😮😢

[@oOPPHOo]

If you're streaming on twitch, make sure to stream under the Just Chatting category.
_Very_ important step.

[@dudemanaric]

Why not chess category?

Second monitor or phone/tablet. If you want to read while you're steaming with one monitor there's a bunch of videos out there
