So today I'm going to show you the easiest
way to be able to go ahead and stream in horizontal and in vertical mode at
the same time, utilizing Streamlabs. This way you can stream to Twitch
in horizontal and maybe YouTube in vertical to be able to gain more views. So the first thing you want to do is
open up Streamlabs desktop and want to make sure you have the latest version. If you don't have Streamlabs desktop,
I'll put a link in the description of this video for you to go ahead and download it. It's completely free. So once you've gone and done that on
the bottom left hand side here, we want to go ahead and get logged in. So you'll simply click on this. It'll prompt you to get logged in and
you want to go ahead and connect your YouTube account and your Twitch account. So to be able to do that,
you'll come to settings. You'll come to here where it says
stream, and you want to make sure you connect your YouTube account and you
connect your Twitch account, because what we're going to do today is we're
going to stream horizontally to Twitch. And vertically to YouTube
shorts, utilizing Streamlabs. So once you have those two connected,
we're going to hit done, then you'll come back here to the left hand side,
select settings, and we want to now go ahead and enable vertical streaming. We'll then come to where it says video. And here on the top right hand side,
you want to select enable dual output. So this is going to now say
that we can stream in horizontal and we can stream in vertical. So we want to go in and
set up our base canvas. So for horizontal 1920 is correct. And then for vertical, we want to
have it at 10 80 by 1920, and then everything else remains the same. So we'll go ahead and select done. And now you'll see here that we have
both a horizontal and a vertical output. And one of the beautiful things here of
stream labs is that you only need to set up the scenes one time, and you're able
to utilize them both by toggling on and off, which one you want it to be visible. So let's go ahead and
set up our scenes here. So on the left hand side, we're
going to select those plus icon. We're going to name this starting soon. Select done. And then we'll add one more scene
here and we'll call this game play. And we'll hit done. So now we want to do is you want to
go in and start adding in our overlays and our camera and our gameplay. Now, for this example, I'm
going to go ahead and utilize overlays from StreamDesignz.Com. And I'll put a link in the
description of this video, and they have tons of animated overlays. You can go ahead and choose from
to be able to go ahead and make your stream look professional. So for this example, I'm going to go
ahead and utilize the legends overlay package, and you're going to see here,
this is a apex kind of inspired theme. And you'll see here that it's going to
bring everything that we need to make our stream look professional from our
countdown timer, to our just chatting scene, to our countdown timer, to
everything that we need to make our stream look professional, even our starting soon. So again, you can go to StreamDesignz.Com
to be able to get the package that you like, but you can use
any overlays that you may want. So once you have our overlays,
we'll come to starting soon. Come to sources, this little plus icon. We're going to select media
file, add source, and we'll name this starting soon scene. Okay. Add source. And now what we'll do is to locate file. We'll hit browse. And then once you go ahead and download
your overlays from Stream Designz, it's going to first come in a zip file. Super important in order
for you to use the overlays. If you're on windows, you're going
to right click and you're going to select extract, and that's going
to create a folder just like this for you to be able to gain access. If you're on Mac, you'll
simply double click and it'll create the folder here for you. Once you have the folder there, we'll come
to where it says overlay screens, and we want to select here are starting soon. Select open, and we do want this
to be able to loop what hit close. And you see here that now we have here
our horizontal one and our vertical. So we need to do now is
adjust our vertical one. And what I like to do is I like to make
it as big as I possibly can and put it here at the bottom to be able to go
ahead and give it some style and space. So again, I like to size this up
just until I have enough space. And now we have this here set up. So the next thing I want to do is that
for my starting soon on my vertical, I want to actually add my countdown
timer here, but not on the horizontal. So to be able to do that, I'm
going to come to sources, there's a little plus icon, select media file. Add source, we're going
to select add new source. We're going to name this countdown timer,
add source, and then we're going to locate our file, and then we're going to
go ahead and get the matching countdown timer that came with our package here. So again, I'm going to, you're going to
download the file from stream designs, the countdown timer, once you download it. It's going to go ahead and
unzip it and you'll go ahead and get the folder just like this. Now we have it. And here again, I'll be
able to go ahead and live. I don't need it to loop. Now keep in mind that if you do get
the package from Stream Designz, the countdown timer is so separately. Just keep that in mind. Okay. Then we'll go ahead and hit close. And now you'll see here that I don't
want it to show here on the horizontal. So what I can do here is I can go ahead
and turn this off and now you'll see that it's off there and now I can go ahead
and adjust this and all I want to do is to be able to go ahead and size this. And place this exactly
where I need it to be. So I'm just going to fix that there
and now you can see here that now I have my timer and I have my starting
soon and my starting soon here. So now that's already
starting to look professional. Now let's go ahead and
add in our gameplay. So to be able to do that, we'll come
to our gameplay scene, hit this little plus icon here, and we're going to
go ahead and add in our gameplay. Now, if you game directly on your
computer, you're going to use display capture or window capture and select
the game that you want to be displayed. If you use a capture card, you're
going to want to go ahead and select video capture device, add source. We'll name this capture
card, select add source. And now we want to go ahead
and select our capture card. So you're going to see here
that I have my game play. I'm going to select 1920 by 1080. I'm going to select done and
you're going to see here that now I have my gameplay added here. So now what I want to do is I want
to go ahead and adjust this and bring this to a point where I can zoom it in
just a bit to be able to be seen here. And now I have my gameplay here and now
I have my gameplay here on vertical. So now we want to go ahead
and add in our camera. So we'll select this little plus icon. We'll come back and select
video capture device. Add source. We're gonna add a new one. We'll name this camera. Add source, and now we want to
select our camera here and then we want to select 1920 by 1080. So now you see here
that we have our camera. Now, one of the things that I'm going
to do first is before I start to adjust it, I'm going to keep my camera at this
size because what I'm going to do now is I'm going to add my webcam overlay that
came in my package from Stream Design. So I'm going to select
this little plus icon. I'm going to come back to
media file, add source. I'm going to say add new source. I'm going to name this web
cam overlay, add source. And now what I'm going to do is I'm going
to locate that file, come back here to where I got my package, webcam overlay,
and you have three different options. You have one with just a border,
one with an option to be able to put donations and subs, and then just the
bottom bar, if you're utilizing a green screen, so I'm just like the middle one. I do want it to be able to loop
and then I'm going to hit close. And now what I want to do is I want
to select webcam overlay, and I just want to go ahead and size it just to
the point where it covers my camera. So I'm going to just select here and
you'll just continue to size this, or we can go a little bit smaller and then I
can go ahead and adjust my camera to go ahead and fit inside of this box here. Now we're going to see here that once
you set this up the first time, you'll be able to then go ahead and adjust this. All at the same time together. So I'm just going to keep it there. And I'm going to say that I'm just
going to bring this up just a bit and I'll adjust it here at the bottom. And now once you have it aligned,
what you want to do now is you want to click on webcam overlay. You'll right click and then you want
to select your group group into folder. That's going to give me a new folder. I'm going to select done. Now that's going to go ahead
and place this in a folder here. And what I want to do is I want to
go ahead and open up this folder and I want to go ahead and also
drop in my camera into that folder. And now what's going to happen is
when I click on folder, you're going to see here that now I can go ahead
and size this together and place this exactly where I want it to be. So I'm just going to grab that there. Just going to grab this and
I'm going to place this here. I want to actually make this a little
bit smaller and let's say this is where I want this to be able to be. So now I have that there and now I have
my overlay for my camera there and now here I'm gonna select my camera and I'm
gonna adjust this to be a lot smaller. Okay now I don't want the webcam
overlay to be here on my vertical So here's what I need to do webcam
overlay turn it off on on vertical and now you can see here that now I have
my camera here I have my gameplay and now we have this all set up, right? So of course you continue to add
in all your different overlays. And here at the end, I'll show you
how to be able to do that, but now we're ready to kind of go live. We have our starting soon
and now we have our gameplay. So now what we need to do is we want to
make sure that we have the right settings. So that way our stream looks professional. It's not laggy and able to do that. You're going to come to settings,
come to output, and we need to go in and select output mode advanced. For encoder, if you're on a windows,
you're going to select your video encoder. If you're on a Mac, you're going
to select hardware encoder. And then for the rate
control, we want to do CBR. If you do not see CBR, simply
select software X two, six, four. And then it'll pop up and then you can go
right back and select hardware encoder. So for the CBR here, for the bit rate,
you got to keep in mind, you're pushing out two streams, one horizontal to
Twitch and another one over to YouTube. So because Twitch only supports 8, 000
at the maximum, you want to go ahead and select 8, 000 here, key frame
intervals, you want to select two. And then here for the B frames,
you want to leave that on. And then profile high. Now, most people say, Hey, 6, 000
is all Twitch can support, but you can go ahead and push it to 8, 000. The question is, do you have enough
internet speed to be able to support that? So the way that you know that if you
want to be able to have this at 8, 000 here, you want to have at least a
20 upload to be able to support that. So the easiest way to
be able to determine. Is to go to speed test. net and I'll put a link in
the description of this video. And what you want to do is hit go. Then you'll see your
download and your upload. You want this upload number to
be at least 20, the higher it is, the better it's going to be. So once you have that there,
you'll be able to determine what you're able to place here. So I'll leave this at 8, 000. I'll simply select done. And now we have the right settings
to be able to go ahead and stream now here in the bottom, right,
we're going to select go live. This is then going to go ahead and
prompt you with a option just like this. You want to make sure that for Twitch,
you have horizontal selected, and then for YouTube, you have vertical selected. Then you can go ahead and adjust your
title, your description, and the actual category for Twitch, and then you want to
go ahead and select confirm and go live. And then you'll be live on
both Twitch and on YouTube. This works with Twitch and TikTok
or kick and TikTok kick in YouTube. You can select whichever destinations
you want to be able to utilize. But if you want to make your stream look
professional and you want to be able to add all of your other overlays, like
your alerts, your jet, just chatting scene, your be right back scene, go ahead
and watch this video right here, where I walk you step by step on how to set
up your overlays inside of Streamlabs. I'll see you guys in the next video.
