Open Broadcaster Software Studio is currently my live streaming software of choice. I use this free software to livestream and record videos. I recently stumbled upon another free service to incorporate into livestreams.
StreamLabs has a set of free tools in order to incorporate into your YouTube and or Twitch live streams. Information such as subscribers, donations, sponsors, etcetera can be incorporated into your live stream. This service is entirely free.
You do not need to create a separate account with StreamLabs. You will need to login with your Google/YouTube account or Twitch account. Then you will want to click on a LAUNCH STREAMLABS button at top of their homepage.
If you are already logged in with your a fore mentioned account, you will become prompted to accept StreamLabs to view your email address, view basic profile information, and view your YouTube account. Once logged into your dashboard you can quickly setup an alert widget to use within your live streams. You can then start a real live stream with either Twitch or YouTube.
Under Stream Widgets on left hand side, you will want to click on Alert Box. You can show live real time donations, subscribers, and sponsors information from your YouTube channel to your viewers. Then click on Click to show widget URL.
You will want to copy and paste this uniform resource locator web page link into your Open Broadcaster Software Studio scene source. Then, you can create a new source for a scene that you want this information to overlay. You will want to create a new Browser Source source.
You can paste this uniform resource locator web page link from StreamLabs' website into a URL box and then click on OK. Now you can browse back into StreamLabs and look for test alert buttons. As long as you are on a real live stream when you click a test alert, a test will be sent to Open Broadcaster Software Studio.
Once a test is successful, you can now use StreamLabs with either your Twitch or YouTube live stream.
