In this video I walk you through how to stream to Twitch using OBS Studio in 2026—no fluff, just the stuff you actually need to go live. I start with the basic OBS setup so you’re not guessing your way through scenes and sources, then I show you how to add alerts (I use Botrixlive) so your stream doesn’t feel dead the second someone follows or subs. After that, I break down the OBS settings that matter for streaming: the “new streamer” setup so you can get stable quality without nuking your PC, and the higher-end settings for Twitch Affiliates and Partners who want to push more quality when their upload and hardware can handle it. I also cover mic and audio setup, because bad audio will ruin a stream faster than anything. Finally, I show you where to grab your Twitch stream key and how to enable storing Twitch VODs so your streams don’t disappear after you hit End Stream.
