Livestreaming using Online Broadcaster Software (online event)

 Registration is closed for this event
First sentence/ quick summary

As more leisure-time music groups get to grips with livestreaming as an alternative or addition to live performances, we’re providing this session which will take a look at Open Broadcaster Software (OBS). OBS is a free piece of software that will allow you to add live visual effects to your livestream, making it even more professional in quality.
 
We’ll talk about:

  • Livestreaming – what it is, and what you need to get started
  • A detailed walk-through of OBS – a free piece of software that will allow you to add live visual effects to your broadcast (logos, overlays, titles pre-recorded sections etc.)
  • A look at the options to use more equipment in your streaming setup (multiple cameras, microphones etc)
  • A guide to planning a broadcast – what to think about before ‘going live.’

There will be an opportunity to ask questions via the chat function during the event.
There will be a short break during the event.

Who is this event for?
Anyone is welcome to come to this event. You don't need to have any experience of livestreaming as we will walk through the process from the very beginning, and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

As we expect this event to be popular, we ask that only one person per group registers to attend for this event.

Cost: FREE for members and non-members

We will be using Zoom to host the meeting, and will send you full instructions the day before the event on how to join.
