OBS for VipKid Teachers BEGINNER

hello welcome to OBS for VIP kid teachers this is a beginner demo if you know anything about OBS already or currently working with OBS this is probably not the demo for you unless you're having some problems but I am making this demo for the teachers that want to use digital props but they don't want to spend money on mini cam or any other service and they want to make OBS work for them and work for the IP kid that's who I am reaching out to and I really hope that you find this helpful I like all of you when I first started with VIP kid I was not tech savvy I did not know any of this I've learned it all specifically so that I could offer digital props to my students so I know that you're probably in the same boat and you want to keep up with the Joneses and you really want to have digital props and maybe you want to use it for Google slides so I am here to show you how to do that and don't be scared this is painless I promise I'm going to show you everything that you need to get started and we're gonna do it all in less than 20 minutes it took me six hours my first day so let's do it let's just jump right in so the very first thing that you need to do is you need to download OBS so you're gonna go to Google and you're gonna search OBS for free it's gonna pop up first thing go ahead and click on it click download I'm working with Windows I'm sorry I don't know anything about Mac's so I'm not sure if it's different or the same but I welcome you to try it so go ahead and download your installer now I already have the software set up so I'm not going to go through the whole process but it's very simple just like downloading any other program what you do need to know is that there's going to be a window that pops up that says something about streaming we're not going to be streaming at any point so you do not have to select anything just shut don't let it scare you it scared me the first time you don't need that so just ignore it so at this point I'm gonna go ahead and assume that you're going to click pause and finish your download I'll show you the next step of course the Installer is gonna pop up it's gonna say hey do you want to do this yes of course you do and you're gonna hit next you're gonna go through the whole process allow the installation and like I said ignore the streaming window so go ahead and do that now and come back okay welcome back I assume you have OBS installed now go ahead and shut OBS we don't want it open at this point because we're going to be making some more changes now how VIP kid works is that it accesses your webcam it recognizes any cameras attached to your computer maybe you have an internal webcam maybe you have an external one that's plugged in VIP kid their website or in their their app is gonna recognize your camera and give it as an option when you enter the app and when you enter a classroom so we need to download a plugin for obs it is called virtual cam and we're gonna go get that now pardon my typing umm virtual cam for OBS so that's your next step we're gonna go download this guy oh here's the page go ahead and download him so go ahead pause download okay welcome back if OBS is open again go ahead and shut it one more time we're gonna make one last change and then we're gonna open it and go ahead and get in there and really get into what we're doing and have some fun so keep google open for later we might need it okay so I assume now that you have downloaded OBS you've downloaded the virtual cam and those programs are currently shut we do not want them open at this point so the next thing that you're gonna do is you're gonna go to your Start menu and you're gonna find OBS studio which is right here at the top you are going to right click and you are going to tell it run as administrator' yes this is very important do not skip this step okay so when I did that run as administrator' it went ahead and opened OBS so it should do the same for you and here it is this should look familiar a little scary I'm sure this is not a cutesy I'm a kid teacher look at all my stickers type program it is very much built for gamers and it is a little more professional a little more intimidating than some of these other programs which is why I'm making this demo for you do not be afraid we can do this together and you are going to be loving OBS you're gonna be making videos for your spouse with OBS because you love it so much so the very first thing we want to do is we want to go here to tools remember that virtual cam we installed well here it is save yourself pain and anguish later by turning your virtual camera on so you're gonna go here and you're gonna click start if it's not already clicked and then you're gonna hit Auto Start Auto Start so whenever your OBS comes on virtual cam is going to be on as well if you do not do this VIP kid will not be able to find your OBS program and you will not be able to use it with VIP kid this is a very very important step do not skip it and now I've given you enough time you've probably found it so let's move on welcome welcome welcome to where the magic happens so we've got a couple of things going on and I'm gonna just show them to you here where I'm circling these are scenes scenes are what appears in your camera they are what appears on your screen okay sources sources are what is happening within a scene so scene bigger sources smaller this is a bunch of stuff you're not gonna be using that much except for settings will use settings a lot so I'm gonna make this big so we can all see what we're doing and I'm going to show you how to do some cool stuff the very very first thing that I'm going to do is I am going to create a scene here called main this is what I like to call my main screen and my main screen always has a big image of me from my webcam in the middle of it so you're gonna see me for the first time let's do it so you're going to set up a scene called main or whatever you want to call it you can call it camera I don't care call whatever you want and then you're going to add your web camera to it so let's do it now you go over here to sources you're gonna hit plus you're gonna do video capture device and I like to call it webcam and hit OK and the whoa look there I am hello nice to meet you and it found my webcam right away jumped up there's me um you can go ahead and you're going to edit your resolution because the resolution for VIP kid is like a small box so we want to change it a little bit let's change it to 640 by 480 we go hello uh okay we're gonna make this into a square and we're going to put it in the middle okay now you've all touched the one thing that you already know about VIP kid is that their camera square so these black sides we're not gonna see anything if we put them there VIP kids aren't gonna be able to see it it's it's out of the box so pretty much the box that we've made for webcam is all that the students will be able to see so just remember when you're adding cool stickers and stuff don't put anything over here they can't see it so here we are yeah yeah you've officially set up your very first scene with OBS and webcam so let's go ahead and do another scene so that you can see how to set up switching between them so I'm gonna go over here set up another scene plus I like to make a welcome to my classroom screen scene to show before I start class and right when class starts the very first thing they see is my welcome screen and then I click over to my webcam so I'm going to show you how to do that so I made a scene called welcome and I disappeared because now we're in this scene and we have not added a virtual that we have not added the webcam to the scene yet so where we've got a whole new scene to create so go ahead and click plus no I have some images already but I am going to talk more about downloading images here very shortly so this is the image that I like to use for my welcome screen so it is a classroom backdrop I just downloaded it off of the interweb off of Google so okay now remember those sides they are out of view so our students are only gonna see the inner square they're only gonna see from about here to here so they're not gonna see very much of the window and they're not gonna see the door so now this is our welcome screen I mean we got a chalkboard let's put something on the chalkboard so you're gonna go here to plus and you're gonna hit add um text right here let's make some text all right Arial good font so you're going to type whatever you want in the text box so I'm gonna put learn sorry you'll have to pardon my typing my typing is awful learn to use OBS yeah yeah because that's what we're doing so I should put that on the chalkboard right okay so you'll see it appeared up here in a red box so we're just gonna go ahead and move it to our chalkboard I'm gonna make it as big as you want there you go written on the chalkboard learn to use OBS so now we have two items in our sources yes great we we have you've now created something and honestly just these two things just these two things are very useful to you in starting digital life on VIP kid you now have a welcome screen and you have your main camera so let me show you how to switch between those items while you're in the classroom because you're like oh my gosh I I'm gonna have to switch over to this program I don't know how to do that I don't have two screens how am I going to go back and forth from using these things well I'm gonna show you right now so we're gonna go to settings and we're gonna set up something called a hotkey yeah hotkeys are amazing hotkeys are my favorite thing so remember we created scenes while here they are we have the main scene which is just our webcam and we have our welcome scene which is right here so um I'm a creature of habit I like using the same hotkeys over and over so I'm just gonna set those up for me my main screen I always get to it by pressing alt number one to get to my welcome screen I always get to it by pressing alt number 4 what am i doing are you you probably think I'm crazy right now cuz you have no idea what a hotkey is well you're going to learn right now what a hotkey is so this is really tacky but what I never bother to save because when I hit the exit asks me if I want to save so I'm really lazy so I do that now we're saved ok hotkeys hotkeys tell OBS to do something says hey OBS switch between scenes hey OBS remove this image I'm going to show you how to do all that and so I'm gonna show you how to do it right now right now I'm going to switch to our main screen get ready for my mug to show up here we come oh one there I am hello nice to see you now let's switch back to our welcome screen I'm gonna hit alt 4 and we're back very important the reason why we ran as an administrator is because that means that our hotkeys will work when we are not in the program if you are in the program using hotkeys that is a local hotkey if you are out of the program so I'm gonna minimize the program oh not in the program anymore if you type your hotkeys it will still work well OBS is minimized got it okay watch this so we were in the welcome screen I'm gonna type right now alt 1 and when I maximize this you should see my mug again hello see it even worked when the program was minimized that is why you have to run as administrator if you don't run as an administrator every time you want to switch between scenes you're gonna have to come back to OBS change the scene and then go back to the VIP kit it's not gonna work you can't do it okay so you gotta run as an administrator I don't know how but my Jewish grandmother just came out while I was I was talking anyway let's go back to the welcome screen la so next since we've done since we've done this much we've gone this far you already have you have tools you've now made a scene you knowing how you made your classroom scene you can also make a goodbye screen you can make other scenes you can make cutesy images if you want so I'm going to go over and show you how this looks in VIP kid and how to set it up there so let's go to the IP kid app tada I've already got it set up and ready to go I went after I made this video I blurred out and covered up the info of the students just to maintain privacy just like you know that's not the way your app should look I of course I don't want to violate the privacy of any of my students so um anyway I pick a classroom and I'm gonna show you how to use it in the classroom da da this should look familiar okay so the very first time you want to use OBS in your classroom you're gonna go here to your Settings button click on it you're gonna go to camera ok it already recognizes my OBS because I use it all the time but it's probably only going to be showing your fixed webcam or something else so you're gonna click this drop down and you're gonna go ahead and go to OBS camera so now it thinks that OBS is a camera it thinks it's looking at you right now so anything that you tell OBS to do is going to show up just like it would your webcam just like it would during a normal class so there we go turn on the camera yes yes here we are amazing um now let's use those hotkeys let's let's do it so you're in your classroom right now bow-bow is here you're ready to go you've hit start class and it's time to make the magic happen so you say ok and you click your hotkeys whatever you made I'm like I said I use alt 101 hello my name is teacher Jenna what's your name bow-bow bow-bow it's nice to meet you that's it people that's how you make it happen ok so now let's assume that you've made an exit screen and it's the end of class so you say bow-bow I'll see you next time goodbye and then you're gonna go ahead and just click to your exit screen and in class there you go so here we are back at OBS I'm sure you have a ton of questions comments comments below go ahead and I'm gonna click over to the main screen so you can see me please please put your comments below and I will be more than happy to answer any questions I'm sure that there's other people who have learned along the way and they can answer questions as well now I'm gonna just launch in just showing you how to do some other things some more cool stuff but this is really all you need to know now that you know this much you can do things I really you you have this now you have this tool in your toolbox so congratulations you are now digital I don't know whether you want to be or not so I'm going to show you now how to access a screenshot from the internet so that you can show YouTube videos you can use Google slides I always have in my classes a window open that is specifically for extending I make a scene I mean let's just do it let's make a scene called extent so I make a scene called extend like I said sorry about my typing I make a scene called extend and that scene is always just a screen capture of a Google Chrome window that is not in use for anything else and that is so if my student is having trouble finding a word I can type in surfing and an image of surfing will come up and I can save this so anyway um we're in a blank scene right now extend we're gonna go ahead and we're gonna add a window capture and I'm gonna call this Google and we're gonna go ahead and find oh we don't have one open so I can't find it now for this to work your windows cannot be minimized they have to be open in the background okay so that's why I didn't find anything it has to be open so sorry let me try that again let's try again properties okay oh there we go so it found the Google window we were using to search OBS so that's gonna be our extend slide tada so now every time you go to the scene it's this window is gonna show up so now remember they can only see what's in the square remember these sides they can't see anything so I always do a little something like this where you can see like the you can see the window the top of it I normally cut off that part you move it around resize it and then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna throw myself here on the bottom very important let's go to main so I can tell you very important okay once your web cam is being used you can't add it again okay I'm gonna show you you can't do it okay I'm gonna show you how you can't do it so I'm in extend and I say oh I want to put myself on the screen I want to access my web camera so I go to video capture device video capture device and like web okay let's do it where am i okay it's up here but why why am I not here what is happening why not okay I removed it so you have you're already using your web camera somewhere you can't use it again it's being used so you go to your main and you're gonna go to webcam and you're gonna hit copy right then you're gonna go to your other scene and extend and you're gonna right-click and you're gonna hit paste la I cannot tell you how many tutorials it took before somebody told me this I'll tell ya but you know because Gianna is not gonna lead you astray no I will teach you everything I know and more I want you to be successful happy teachers so here we are are singing our extensions so we've got Google going on I'm here we can talk about things let's go ahead and look and see what this looks like back in the in the in the classroom okay let's see what it looks like hello Here I am so they can see you know the Google box they can see me we can talk about things so this is where it gets a little tricky okay if you want to be typing on Google you are going to have to switch over to Google well you're in the classroom which right now you see it what I would be seeing but my student would still be seeing me they're not gonna see they're not gonna see just the window or there they're not going to see a screen capture they're always gonna see what I told OBS to show them so they're gonna see me and whatever I'm working on in the window okay so here we go and so I'm gonna go over to Google and I'm gonna say surfing and you know videos of surfing pictures of surfing are gonna pop up all this click here pictures of surfing and so I'm gonna see sushi surfing and they're gonna say yes okay and I'm gonna say gray let's switch back I'm full screen again using my hotkeys okay so um that's also very useful to do this is how you would also do Google slides I'm not gonna teach you about Google slides I'm not going to show you about Google slides Google slides on community of for VIP kid has created something absolutely fantastic and if you want to use Google slides go to the Google slides Facebook group become a member then go and get their app slide kick it's amazing you will be able to access games and all kinds of extra props digital props it's really an awesome thing to do but you will access your Google slides the same way that you are accessing this other slide here so I would probably make one called slides make one called rewards and then when you click over to it your Google slides will be showing okay and of course every time you set up a new scene you got to go set up a hotkey for it so let's set up a hotkey for my extend slide I'm gonna come here extend let's do all seven and so like I said I never do it the right way so all seven is how you get to the extend slide now so let's just switch between them let's practice so alt 1 full screen all for welcome screen Oh 7 hey so now you know how to do 3 things and you know about having to copy and paste your camera that's really important so I hope I'm not going too fast for any of you I hope that you're enjoying learning all these things so let's go back to our main screen and let's just have a little bit of fun my hair is terrible so you need if you want images to show up on your screen you need something called PNG or a transparent background ok if you have a picture that is a square it's not going to be transparent on your screen so you have to download special images called PNG to make them to add them to your screen here but I'm going to add a picture to my screen I'm just gonna show you how to do it so let's go to our sources we're gonna add an image let's call this one Jana because I'm gonna use a bit moji so it's my bitmoji she has pink hair sometimes I have pink hair not today and Iowa now this is the image I normally use for my welcome slide she's normally like popping in from the side saying hello hello um for this purpose I'm going to show you how to make her disappear and reappear cool right you can use this for anything when you're getting ready for classes you can set up 37 million images on this main screen and just miss long as you make enough hotkeys to switch between them you can have all kinds of images that pop up and and disappear all the time so let me show you how to do it so I added the image here she is we obviously don't want her blocking my face the whole class it's hard to say ball ball when Jana here is blocking so I'm going to show you how to make her appear and reappear using again hotkeys hotkeys let's go to settings settings hotkeys so on our main and there's Jana that's our image so I'm gonna make her appear I do something a little weird here so you're going to figure out how to use your hotkeys however you want to the you're gonna make hotkeys work for you I only use alt to switch between screens and I use ctrl to to remove and add images and that just kind of helps me when I'm in the classroom kind of keep control of everything so that I know what I'm doing alt means I'm gonna change what the student sees control means that I'm pulling images in so let's just do ctrl H okay then I like to use X to hide everything so sometimes on multiple things on the screen and I hit X and everything goes away so here let me go over that again so show Jana is ctrl H hi Jana is X you can also add another one like let's say you want control age to also hide Jana and X to make Jana go away okay I mean you can add as many as you want you can add tons of hotkeys to make the image appear of them to make her go away so that's cool because like let's say you want Jana to appear by herself one time and you want Jana and an apple to appear another time you can set up like let's say control a for control apple and control H so control H makes Jana appear control a makes Jan appear X makes Jana disappear control H makes Jana disappear and I'll show you how that can be cool in just a second so let's go back to the screen and let's just play with our hot Creek hotkeys so control H I'm just typing control H Jana disappeared control H Jana appeared control H Jana disappeared control H Jana appeared X Jana disappeared control H Jana appeared control a Jana still appeared X hey ok you get the idea you set up the hotkeys things happen so when I'm in my classroom the magic is still happening look at this okay X goodbye Jana control h-hello Gianna okay that's how people are doing cool things this is how it happens okay so X goodbye Jana let's go back to OBS let's add some more cool things so remember I said maybe you want multiple things to appear when you type control a let's add something else let's add an image so these are all like I said PNG images that you can download let's do a banana banana PNG okay there's the banana whoa it's a huge banana hold on a second I like bananas but not that much so let's make the mini on a much smaller it's really big some I'm I'm not using my mouse I'm using my whatever it's called tap mouse mouse pad and so it's not easy to resize things but okay I'm sure there's an easier way to have done that but right here I am banana banana smile okay so we got our banana over here Jana's still here she's just not visible right now do you see how when I went that way the blue square encircled her it's because she's still there you just can't see her okay so let's go to the hotkeys set up a hotkey for banana okay so remember I said when we want something to show up at the same time as Jana well let's make it the banana so we're gonna use the hotkey control a for the banana also and we're gonna do X whoops clear we're going to do X to make it disappear so that it disappears at the same time okay ready okay X everything's gone Jana's gone bananas gone okay control a Jana and banana no way X gone okay now we just want Jana and remember we set up multiple height we set up multiple hotkeys so we can do that so now we just want Jana so ctrl H just Jana now maybe we want the banana now control a because Jana's already here the banana just pops up X everything goes away okay now you can put borders around your screen you can set up all kinds of things that don't disappear you can put your name on the bottom of the screen if you want you can put VIP kid logo you could put Dino you can put all kinds of stuff on your screen and leave it up the whole time I don't like to I like to make my digital props appear disappear because I want my students to focus on what I'm telling them correct pronunciation and not die now the IP ked beach clouds whatever so I hope that that's very helpful to you that you are kind of able to see how this works and how it can work for you in the VIP VIP kid classroom this is free it's all free and it's all available to you and I just wish you all the best of luck if you have any questions I'll try to answer them as best as I can and good luck and happy digital teaching in the VIP kid world I'll see you next time goodbye
