PREPARATION 2
This preparation step is optional. However, if you want to have more options with regard to your videos, using external video source would be more appropriate. This is actually a very practical enhancement since most of us own a mobile phone with powerful cameras. Below is a simple instruction on how you can maximize your mobile phone as external video source.
PREPARATION 3
To maximize OBS, my recommendation is for you to prepare the following:
- An image background that you want to use in your video recording or streaming.
- At least 24 hours before the workshop, you can schedule a youtube streaming (NOTE: Unless you are a regular YouTube video creator, you cannot request streaming on-demand. Your credential will be available after 24 hours).
- Open your YouTube Channel (we all own one).
- Go to 'go live' instead of 'upload.'
- Select as option 'schedule online streaming.'
- (NOTE: take note of your streaming credential that you will need during the actual streaming broadcast)
- If you want to maximize your use of background, you can prepare a green screen background (you can just use a green cloth for this or green or blue cartolina, or you can actually also purchase one via Lazada.
- NOTE: A good light source is essential for ensuring good video quality.
