Guide to Streaming

There are many different programs that you can stream with. The guide here is to teach you how to stream with OBS.

So what is needed to stream?

What you are recommended to have:

  • At least 4 gigs of ram, more is better.
  • 2 Monitors (a laptop with a monitor connected to it will suffice).
  • Something occurring in the background; it can be commentary, music or something else. No one wants to tune into a stream with no noise and just people farming resources.

How to get setup

  • Download and install OBS
  • Open up OBS, click settings, go to Broadcast Settings.
 * Mode : Live Stream 
 * Streaming Service : Twitch
 * FMS URL : Whatever is closest to you
 * Play Path/Stream Key (if any) : Put your stream key here.
   * Finding your twitch stream key:
     * To find your stream key log into twitch, go into your dash board, then click on stream key.
     * Or http://www.twitch.tv/broadcast/dashboard/streamkey
  • Go to the Encoding tab
 * Video Encoding
   * If you have the option you should use (in order) Quick Sync, Nvidia NVENC and X264.
 * Max Bitrate
   * Finding out how much you can upload
     * Go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and find how how fast you can upload. You want a little bit of extra bandwidth so Kancolle can function with some additional space.
     * Take that number and multiply it by .75
       * 1mbs is = 1000
  • Go to the Video tab
 * Base Resolution
   * Monitor
     * Monitor should be based on which one you are playing Kancolle on
 * Resolution Downscale
   * This is based on your upload speed and your computer; you are going to have to play around with this.
 * Filter
   * Bilinear
 * FPS
   * 30 FPS
     * If you are playing Kancolle, you don't need any more than 30; you can even lower this if your computer/internet is struggling.
  • Go to the Advance tab
 * Video
   * Encoding Profile
     * Main
   * Keyframe Interval
     * 2

How to add Kancolle to the stream

  • Right Click Sources
 * Window Capture
   * Name can be anything you want but I recommend naming it to Kancolle
 * Window : Kancolle Viewer of your choice
 * Sub-region : Check it
 * Select Region
   * Move it around to your liking you can have just the game or you can have everything including the bottom.
 * Monitor
   *Kancolle needs to be on it's own monitor and maximized to make it consistent, as this will capture the monitor not the game/window itself. You move anything on top of it, it will show up on stream.
 * Sub-region : Check it
 * Select Region
   * Move it around to your liking you can have just the game or you can have everything including the bottom.
