Select where you want your flv file to be saved (in my case it’s the default Windows location). This method of outputting to two platforms at once relies on an flv file being recorded and streamed, so we’ll need to make sure the settings are correct there. Now click on the “Output” settings and click on the “Recording” tab. Choose the “Streaming” option, select Facebook Live, then paste your streaming key in. Grab the key and copy it to your clipboard, then go to the settings in OBS.

I’m assuming at this point that you know how to get your streaming key from Facebook Live. Open OBS and click on “File” and then “Settings”. We’ll configure streaming to your YouTube channel in a later step. Once you have OBS installed and configured to stream audio and video (I won’t go into that in this tutorial), you’ll need to set it up to stream to Facebook Live (or whatever streaming service you want other than YouTube unless you are streaming to two different YouTube channels at once). If not, go back and double check all the settings I went through in this section. Hit the ‘Enter” key and if all goes well, you should see a screen that looks like the one below. When the Command Prompt opens, type in “ffmpeg” as shown below. It’s a good idea to test to make sure you followed all the steps correctly, so open a Command Prompt by hitting the Windows key and search for “cmd” (or hit the Windows key and scroll down to the “Windows System” folder and choose “Command Prompt”). That completes adding the Environment Variable. Then hit “OK” one last time on the System Properties box, shown below. Then hit the “OK” button again on the resulting dialog box, shown below. Hit the “OK” button to complete this step, shown below. Your Environment Variable window should now have ffmpeg added, as shown below. Click on “Environment Variables” (highlighted in red below).Ĭlick on the “Path” variable and select “Edit.”Īdd the “bin” location ( C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin ) as a variable by hitting ctrl+v (paste) immediately after hitting the “New” button. The “System Properties” dialog box will open. That will open Windows Settings, so all you need to do now is search for “Environment Variable.” Choose “Edit the System Environment Variables” in the search results that come up. Now to add the variable, open Windows Settings by clicking the Windows button (bottom left corner in Windows 10) and hit the little gear icon (the icon on the top shown in the image below). If you’d rather copy it from this post, the address is C:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin In the folder that you just extracted FFmpeg into, browse to the “bin” folder, then in the address bar in Windows Explorer, highlight the address and copy it by clicking ctrl+c. This method of using FFmpeg and OBS requires windows to use the command prompt, so in order for that to work you’ll need to add what’s called an “Environment Variable.” First we’ll define the variable by copying it from Windows Explorer. Step 4 – Set up Environment Variables in Windows Rename the folder to “ffmpeg” as shown below. The annoying admin rights warning will pop up again, so press “Continue” when it does. If you get a warning about needing admin rights, press “Continue.”īy default, the files will extract to a folder called “ffmpeg-20200330-8d019db-win64-static”.Ĭlick on the folder and press F2 to rename it.

If you are on a 32 bit operating system, you can choose “Program Files (x86)”.

I extracted mine into the “Program Files” directory (I’m on a 64 bit operating system).

Once you download FFmpeg (as a zip file) you’ll need to extract it. Save and unzip the file in a location that you can easily get back to as this is how you’ll be streaming to YouTube.
You’ll need this for the automated functions that we’ll get into later. Also note that this tutorial is for Windows only.įile you will run to send your stream to YouTube – Download. Keep in mind that with this technique, you might experience significant lag in your livestream if your internet speed isn’t up to par. In that video, the host goes very fast and brushes over some of the more technical details so I thought it would be beneficial to create a slower paced, step-by-step tutorial.
And just to give credit where credit is due, I discovered this little trick by watching this YouTube video –. If you need more information on how to setup streaming with OBS, I put together a tutorial here.

In this post I’ll explain how to use OBS (Open Broadcaster Studio) and FFmpeg together to allow you to stream to both Facebook Live and YouTube at the same time – for FREE! As of this writing (April, 2020), streaming to two services at once requires either purchasing software or signing up for an online service.
