How To Use OBS on Camsoda

Lots of models today are choosing to use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) in order to stream their shows due to the excellent stream and audio quality, top-tier streaming platforms are answering this call adding support for OBS. The following is a general guide to the basics of getting OBS up and broadcasting on Camsoda. By default OBS is not enabled for all models on Camsoda, please email support and we’ll happily enable this for you once you’ve got all your settings in place. 

An OBS Guide For Cam Girls

First off, I’m making this as easy as possible for all computer skill levels, OBS is medium difficulty but not impossible. The good news here is that this guide will help you figure things out no matter your level of technical prowess. One thing you should be made aware of is that hiccups and issues may arise. It’s not uncommon for things to go wrong, be patient and you’ll get it done. 

This guide is intended to help those looking to use their existing hardware. In other words, you’re not going to need to make crazy hardware adjustments to your machine and you’re likely not going to need to buy a new PC in order to make this all work. 

Instead, I’ll be teaching you how to integrate Open Broadcaster Software aka OBS. This is open-source software that a lot of people are using today. 

Reasons to stream

There are lots of reasons why webcam models stream these days. Most of them really enjoy doing so and they also make a lot of money while doing it. If you’re interested in getting started or learning more about how to become a cam model, then we’ve got you covered. 

Hardware and OBS

There are a few things that matter here when it comes to using open broadcaster software. You need to know a little bit about the machine you’re using and the preferred methods. Take a look at your machine and determine the following: 

• What type of machine/device are you using? 
• What webcam and mic do you plan on using? 
• What operating system are you running? 
• What is your Internet upload speed? 

Newer computers will be able to handle more and function better. No doubt about it. But, you’ll be fine with the equipment you have, if you have Windows 7 SP1 / MacOS 10.12 or newer and an Intel i5 or equivalent AMD processor with 16GB of ram.

One of the most important of all the questions above is your upload speed. You’ll need a minimum of about 9 Mbps upload speed to ensure that you’re video isn’t choppy or poor quality. You can test your speed here. 

If you need help with any of the things above, just reach out to us directly, we’ll gladly get on the phone with you to help you get set up properly. 

Let’s Talk Software

There are a lot of variables but I’ll do my best to cover what I think is important here. If you’re using Windows, then you’ve got more options than most. You can use the software I’ve mentioned, Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). I’m not going to cover anything here aside from OBS because that’s our focus, if you’re a power-users other options exist. 

If you’re using a Macbook Pro and you’re Mac OS then your options are the open-source OBS and Streamlabs OBS. 

Finally, we’re ready to talk streaming!
