Streamlabs plugin for OBS

“here is how to add and customize streamlabs overlays this obviously works for streamlabs desktop but did you know it also works for OBS as well some of these overlays will be free but if you want full access you need streamlabs Ultra you can use my affiliate link to get $9 off the first month which also supports my channel so let's start with streamlabs desktop then we'll do OBS obviously download it and log in then what you want on the left side is look for the overlays dropdown if you can't see this by the way you might have to click this little arrow to make it pop out then click on the word seen and then you've just got a ton of different overlays to choose from now as we'll see later on the OBS one there's a section which says free overlays I can't find the free overlay section on streamlabs so you'll just have to click on each one to work out whether it's free or paid or maybe you can find it and I can't anyway let's choose one and I'm going to use one of these filters at the top I'm going to click on Tik Tok friendly cuz I'm using streamlabs dual output so this will give me both landscape and portrait scenes let's just pick a random one let's go for anime sky so all you do is click on it and then just press the install button and wait a few seconds you also might want to install the alert box as well for me I'm not going to do that and now I'll press install again and this is the part that might confuse you this is now where we have to customize everything so for me what I'm going to do to start with I'm going to shrink my feed as small as possible and then I'm going to increase the size of the scenes and the sources so I can see everything and then what we have have to do is Click through each scene here and resize things or remove things where necessary so you just work through them one by one I'm going to start by clicking on the alert box and it pops up the location on both horizontal and vertical showing where my alert box is so for example I can see that in the vertical output I don't want my alert box in the top left corner let's Center it something like this and I can also right click transform and I can Center it horizontally you can see it also centered it horizontally on the left side which is fine if you didn't want that done you'll just have to move it on the left side now I can see it's given me a 4x3 and a 16x9 camera frame so we need to sort that out and I can see it's put them in a folder so I'll click on the webcam drop down then we just need to hide the one that we don't want so most of you probably have a 16x9 webcam so what you want to do is click on the 4x3 webcam and then just press the I icon and it will hide it in both alternatively if you only want to hide it from one place you can just press hide from vertical or hide from horizontal and if of course because I've hidden it from both the I icon is automatically activated even better though if you think you're not going to change your mind I'm just going to right click and remove it and that just completely prevents confusion and then I can click on the normal webcam and if we want to move it around somewhere we could for example a lot of people might like it centered on the left so I'll right click transform and this time I'm going to Center vertical there we go found the option there so it's centered vertically now but again as you can see on the right it's not positioned it properly so I'll just drag it back back down and I'll lock it in place when I'm happy and of course double click your webcam and choose the correct camera my camera is actually in use on OBS so you can't actually see my camera but what you would want to do is just click on the camera and drag it behind the Border it's best practice when you finished with whatever sources you want that you just lock them in place so I'll lock the alert box in place I will lock the webcam in place I'll close that folder and we will move next to the horizontal one now as you can see this particular scene is giving us a lot of options so webcam green screen is what I'm doing now you can see I'm using my green screen I'm in the bottom right corner if I wanted a little bar below me then that's what this one's for so I don't actually want this one so I'm just going to completely either hide it or again because I know that I'm not going to use it I can just rightclick and remove it just to remove any clutter and then we have a header here so for example you could add in some stream labels here you just press plus and add stream labels for example you could put recent subscribers recent followers whatever again if you're just go for the simple look of gameplay camera then you just might want to delete it so that's what I'll do I'll just right click remove and then we have the game capture here and this one is just for the horizontal output so I'm going to lock that in place cuz obviously that one's fine and we'll close that folder we'll look at vertical I think they've renamed this one wrong cuz this says webcam vertical but this area is clearly for the game play so if we just click on game capture vertical you can see they've already centered it nicely but you could resize that if you want I'm happy with that so I'll lock it in place and then it's just a process of of going through all the other ones and editing them as you see fit once again $9 off with my affiliate Link in the description let's look at how to do that with OBS now for OBS you want the streamlabs plugin for OBS close OBS download the plugin run the installer then open OBS and it will look something like this you need to click streamlabs at the top once you've logged in you click on overlays on the left hand side and on this one I've got the free overlays so if you don't want to pay for streamlabs Ultra you just click view on the free overlay of course if you pay for streamlabs Ultra you get a ton more of overlays anyway let's view the free ones you would just click on whatever free overlay that you want for example this Logitech one then you would just click install overlay and then streamlabs is built on top of OBS so if you just go back and watch the section where I edited through the different streamlab scenes and sources you would just do the same thing for OBS you'd basically just be hiding the elements that you don't want once again $9 off streamlabs Ultra with my affiliate Link in the description or you the free ones or if you want to go Ultra Premium you could pay somebody on Fiverr for an overlay and you can watch my guide about that here”
