We love OBS. You can use OBS to get high quality, professional grade livestreams from multiple video sources and even do some really cool chroma key coding stuff.

Using OBS with VideoCoin is super simple. In general, you can set up your scenes, input sources, cameras and get ready for broadcasting as you normally would.

Before you jump in, make sure you read VideoCoin Studio getting started guide here. You should be at the “Start Streaming” stage in the guide above, where you will see a screen like this in the VideoCoin Studio.

If you’ve not come this far, you’ll not be able to perform the following steps.

If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for one here https://studio.videocoin.network

Setting Up OBS to stream with VideoCoin Network

Once you have a VideoCoin Stream created and ready, you will see a link something like below in the”Stream Input” field

When you’re about to stream, go to Settings and click on Stream

Set service as “Custom” and you have to do a simple copy paste to determine the server address and Stream Key.

For example, in this URL shown in the VideoCoin Publisher Studio,

The green part is the server address and the blue part is the Stream Key.

Copy and paste it into the Stream Settings in OBS, click OK. Thats it! You can continue with your flow as usual and start streaming!

Quick note if you’re setting up OBS for the first time…

OBS has a friendly feature that allows you to test the speed of your internet connection.

Do not perform that test. Just skip it, OBS will ask you if you want to set bitrate to 2500 Kbps. Say OK. You can always go back to the stream settings and tweak everything after OBS launches.
