now need to go ahead and input our overlays and our camera and our gameplay. Now, for this example, I'm going to
go ahead and utilize the overlays from streamdesignz.com and I'll put a
link in the description of this video. They have tons of animated overlays. You can go ahead and choose

select loop and then hit close. So now we need to go
ahead and adjust this. So that way it fits directly where not. Try to keep it exactly to the point
where it's big enough to be able to still be seen, but that it won't be cut off. So I'm just going to go

it to end at the five minutes, and then I'm going to go ahead and just
center it exactly where I want it. And now here I have my countdown

and set up our gameplay. So to be able to do that, we'll
select gameplay, come to sources, hit this little plus icon. And now I want to bring in my camera. So to do that, you'll select
video capture device, add source. We'll name this camera. Add source, and now it's going

highest quality hit done. And now you'll see here that I
can now go ahead and adjust this. So that way it fits exactly
where I want it to be. So I'm just going to grab this. Make it just a little bit smaller
because I want more of the gameplay to focus on the gameplay less on me. And then I'm going to select
this little plus icon again. Now, if you are gaming on your
computer, you're going to select display capture or window capture and select
the game that you want to appear. If you're streaming from a console
or utilizing capture card, you're going to select video capture device. So I'm going to select video

it as much visibility as I possibly can. And then I'm going to size it up there. So now we have here are starting soon,
and then we have here our gameplay. Now we need to make sure that we're
able to go ahead and send this over to YouTube so that we can go live. But first we need to set up our settings
to make sure that our quality looks good and that our stream is not lagging. So to do that, we'll come to the
bottom left hand side, select settings. We'll come to where it says stream. We have our stream connected. You want to make sure you have this
set as a destination as YouTube. As long as you logged in the
beginning, it's already going to be selected and that part is done. Now here you have the option to stream
to a custom ingest, meaning that you can put in your own stream key. If you want to, to be able to get
that stream key, you don't want to come to YouTube here on YouTube. You'll log into your YouTube channel,
click on create, click go live. Now, if you've never gone live on
YouTube before, it is going to say here that you're going to have to wait
24 hours before you get a stream key. If you have streamed to YouTube

times, all you need to do is select X264 and then come back to hardware encoder. And then you should see CBR
popping up here for you. Now the bit rate, this is by
far the most important aspect to determine if your quality of your
stream is going to look good. So for YouTube, you can go
anywhere between 6, I always prefer to use 9, 000 here. And the way that you determine this bit
rate here is based on your internet speed. So in order for you to be able
to go ahead and utilize 9, 000. You want at least a 20 upload and to be
