how to make window capture full screen while recording ?
Thanks for this video! Short, sweet, and to the point. Great overview of the process.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking out the content.
Got the info I needed so cheers mate
You're welcome!!
This was very informative and I appreciate this, thank you!
You're very welcome.
Thanks a ton! This is quick and effective.
You're welcome!
I have a problem: I already setup everything as you recommended. However when I would like to react to some music videos and I would like to let everyone listen to the song with me at the same time. Can you show me how to do it? I tried multiple times but I dont know why I just could listen to the music video by headphones but everyone could not listen to what I was listening. How can I fix it?
You'll need to add the audio as a source inside of OBS. So you'll end up with two sources for audio, one input for your microphone and one for your desktop audio. This way the audio source of the music video can be mixed in to your Livestream.
The image doesn’t show anything you pre recorded it and didn’t explain that part it’s just a blk screen
I did a Window Capture of a video that I downloaded off of youtube, so the video plays on quicktime player. Then I did a window capture of the video on quicktime player but it turns out the audio from that video is not being captured in the recording. The video definitely has audio, but the audio from that video isn't being captured on OBS. Can you please advise me on this?
Is QuickTime muted?
If not, depending on your audio input capture you may need to target your desktop audio.
For example, how can I capture the sound from my Samson microphone and a RUclips video at the same time, while also being able to listen to the video in order to make reaction comments?
I was following your instruction and everything worked except for screen flipping. I did make another scene and put video capture to sources. But it showed only a black screen....what am I doing wrong?
Appreciate the help!
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out the content.
thank you
You're very welcome!
I have a question please. I notice on RUclips videos sometimes when there are reactions videos. The person switches from reaction mode (small corner of camera + material) to full screen of camera only, back and forth. Example in your video, how to constantly change from 6:52 to 7:10
You can set up different scenes that cross between the two you need, and then you can assign hit keys to them so you can switch between them on the fly.
However I am probably going to guess that some video editing is involved in these videos you're talking about.
from where did you get your overlays?
We create them ourselves within Photoshop.
@@TechNuovo do u have a tutorial for it?
@@ChoyPH27 yep. Visit the playlist this video is in and you'll find a tutorial on how to create this style of overlay.
@@TechNuovo thank you so much
But when it comes to editing, is there no way to switch between scenes if you didn’t switch while filming? Like if I didn’t think of switching to the scene with me only, is there a way to edit it post recording
That's a very good question actually! Like can you record two scenes simultaneously.
Two options:
1. A plugin called Source Record.
obsproject.com/forum/resources/source-record.1285/
2. Set your recording preview to 2x wider than your height (if usually recording 1920x1080 you'd set it to 3840x1080) from here you'd build your two scenes in one area and then crop in post.
Hope this helps. Thanks for checking out the content.
Do you have a tutorial on how go get all this information as options?? Mine wont bring up anything at all without copy and pasting my URL for “display capture” and that doesnt look good at all, as well as how to add our own overlays as there are no options for that
If you can't see any of these options are you definitely using OBS Studio?
@@TechNuovo yeah, but some creators posting these dont show they had to download all of their stuff, i guess i kinda figured some of the “templates” and things would already be there, think i just need someone to basically hold my hand and show me 😂😂😂 but part of it too, would be finding working memes and stuff to overlay in as well, is there a certain amount of overlays you can have?? Ive got A LOT of questions, thats why i subscribed lol
Very informative. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
For the webcam part I guess, is it possible to achieve this with a GoPro? Or I need a specific webcam that will plug into the same desktop/laptop that is running OBS? Hope that makes sense
As long as the GoPro can be recognised as a video input device if you plug it into your pc then yeah for sure it can.
A quick question.
I’m wanting to stream to YT and react to a video on YT live as it happens.
I’ve seen another video where they did this in Streamyard. What is the difference between this method and Streamyard.
Can I use this OBS method to pull up a YT video react to it and then broadcast this on my channel?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance.
Yeah OBS is my preferred software for any kind of livestreaming. Reacting to RUclips videos is entirely possible with OBS.
Any information on exactly how you setup your broadcast mixer to record output. say i wanted to stream with speakers but didn,t want feedback from the speakers in the mic
That'll be hard to do to balance audio levels so your microphone doesn't pick up your speakers, and you'll probably want to run quite a low gain on your mic.
You could add some kind of noise gate as a filter on your microphone in OBS,, but as soon as you start talking, the audio from your speakers will inevitably be heard. Unless you watch, pause, speak. Watch, pause, speak etc.
Thank you for your contribution. Listen to the people and share your template. I personaly do not care for it, however, to be a strong man , the people must be behind you.
I know I know. We’ll have to sort it out, we will.
This may have been asked but is it better to have 2 monitors so I can go full screen?
Yes, it'll be easier to track your stream with two screens, but it's not essential to do full screen.
Could I have the link to that Overlay background?
Firstly, thank you for this instruction video. If I'm using headphones to listen to a RUclips video that I am reacting to, how do I get OBS to record/stream the sound of the original video? Thank you
You'll need to use an audio input capture source and target where your audio is being captured from. This way your audio will be heard by your stream.
@@TechNuovo hmm, i guess it is not available for Mac... or it could be that I just don't understand 😕 thank you
I learn a lo😢 from you sir .thank u
You're welcome! Glad to have helped.
W vid 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌 Thank you for checking out the content.
I've looked at like 20 videos. I just wanna know how they bring the content they are reacting to, like a tv show, in and out, to avoid that 10 minute mark. I don't think they are all recording twice to add in the content in editing.
No, they would not be recording twice. In this instance they'd watch the TV show with a camera on them so they can react in real time. And then a separate feed for the TV show, either supplies by the producers or obtained by recording their screen. Then in post they'd edit it together using a video editing software to upload to RUclips.
1:15 how did you make that background? I can't figure it out lol Help please!
the same thing
Use a design software like.Photoshop or Canva, and you need to utilize the use of transparent areas on your design so the webcam and video can show through in OBS.
@@TechNuovo oh ok! yeah i've been wondering about this for quite some time haha! thank you for the clarification!!
@@RoyalRedQueen you're welcome!
Amazing Content Keep UP Solider
Appreciate it! Cheers for checking out the content!
4:27 when I click play nothing happens I have to go to the other google screen to play, pause or stop the RUclips video I'm trying to react to.
Yes, you will need to still click play on RUclips browser window. You can't click play from OBS I'm afraid.
Very helpful, can you just help me,i went live to react and it records audio as well so when you listen my stream on twitch audio goes kinda into the loop.
Do you know why is that and how can I fix it,thank you 😁😁
You cannot have your twitch stream audio on when streaming. There will be a delay between your OBS and how quickly Twitch gets your stream, which will lead to an echo. You have to either listen to your mix in OBS to get an idea of your audio levels, or look at the EQs provided.
@@TechNuovo i think I understand,thank you,I will try it,hope i am not too rookie for that hahah 😁
How do you full screen youtube then get back to obs? I put youtube on full screen then I'm not able to get out and go back to obs unless I exit full screen. I'm using my laptop only.
As you're only on one screen, you'll have to either target the browser window, or alternatively Dona desktop capture. You won't be able to track OBS though if you did this.
Can send the custom overlay
This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for checking out the content!
what if i want it half and half on the video sizes?
Very good tutorial for noobs, however I do have a question. I want to have two 'hosts' on screen and a third video source to react to or comment on. The issue is the hosts are in two different locations. How can I pull the second host into the main screen (sort of like a Zoom video)?
We have a tutorial for this sort of thing on the channel. It involves using Discord and screen sharing.
Try this
ruclips.net/video/JlsCp2fkaWg/видео.htmlsi=H03HiaJifw9lNuaS
Can you use a tv for a monitor or?
This doesn't record the audio of the video you're playing by default. The one thing no one seems to address lol. Spent hours trying to get this working.
Have you got the source audio active on your Scenes? Bring in an Audio Input Device under your sources and direct that towards whatever audio you have set in your Windows settings (check this in your bottom right system tray).
How can I capture the audio of the RUclips video through OBS while also listening to make a reaction to the video?
Easy. Three things..
1. Stick a pair of headphones on and set your windows audio settings to play through said headphones.
2. Use Audio Input Device in sources. Target your Samson microphone.
3. Use Audio Output Capture to target your desktop audio to capture the sound from the RUclips video.
Then use the OBS built in Audio Mixer to get your audio balance right if you're going to be talking over the video.
Thank you.
Do have an advice for me? Want to do that, what you've shown on the Video, but in addional with a remote Partner. I know, I can realize that with virtual cam, but what about the Audio? If use something like virtual cable drivers my Partner hears hisself with a delay. How can I Do the setup that the remote Audio is on the streaming output, but not in the Monitoring? Thanks a lot
It will be possible. Firstly if you use something like Discord with your remote partner, you could potentially share your screen there, while capturing the window through Discord. In terms of audio you'd set your OBS up the same, with an audio input and audio output, and the same with Discord.
In terms of video capture, use OBS to capture your webcam, and use OBS virtual camera to send it to discord if this is desired.
Then aim OBS to capture your friend's webcam using a window capture source. You shouldn't need to use virtual cable for this.
thanks man
Happy to help. Thanks for checking out the content!
How did you put it into full view? Min 4:50
Make the video full screen on the window capture.
How can I see myself and the RUclips video at the same time if I'm having to pause and to add discussion? Example: Looking at RUclips video I can't see my OBS screen. Is there a way to see OBS and the RUclips video so I can make sure there isn't lag or any other issues while recording?
Two monitors. Unless you want to switch between windows every time you pause a video
@@TechNuovoIs it the same if using a phone and a laptop?
@@TechNuovoI basically want to overlay my phone cam over the RUclips video and then still be able to pause the RUclips video.
@@FunTimeFunnies yep that's possible. But you will need to use a browser window to pause RUclips. So either two monitors so you can have OBS open on monitor 1, or one monitor and have the browser and OBS side by side.
After you start streaming or recording how do you press play and pause etc the Windows capture...?
If you capture your web browser, you can pause the video there. You only use OBS to capture the window and change its size.
I saw transition changing scene how did you do?
That's called a stinger which can be found in the bottom tiles. I manually created the block animation using Adobe After Effects and exporting as a transparent video file.
How do you get the rounded edges around your windows? Is that a obs plugin?
Nope. The frame overlay was made in Photoshop. Though it you wanted curved windows, you could also Alpha Mask them which is a filter inside of OBS. We have a tutorial on this on the channel in our Tutorials Playlist 👍
Hi, for some reason I can’t install OBS Studio on my MacBook Air osMonteray. Any suggestions? Thank you sir
So do I need another computer to full screen on RUclips ?or is it just a cemra or monitor?im confused
No you can full screen on one monitor, you just won't be able to see yourself
@@footballtalk4857 yeah I been figured it out thanks tho
Thank you Sir I truly appreciate your tutorial the time you took. What I wanted to ask how can I do this without showing my face at all however I DO WANT THE SAME EFFECT WITH BOX AT THE BOTTOM WHERE YOU PLACED YOURSELF, I wanted to add a picture instead of mic motion effect. I'm going to try it in the meantime. Also another question lol please forgive. I have a revelator mic it's so sensitive it picks my neighbors. instead i have M58 i connect with my Zoom podtrak4 I so live it. How can i connect my zoom podtrak 4 with my obs and get that beautiful sound that i'm getting with Zp4 hope I made since thanks an advance @techNuovo
Okay
1. Audio effect.
If you've got a transparent .mov file of the audio effect, you can add it to Obs as a transparent video. In. OBS you can ticj the "loop" button so it repeats I'm not sure if there's any kind of plugin that will automatically react to your voice though. might have to do some googling.
2. If the zoom connects to your PC/laptop via USB, you might be able to add it as an audio capture device, meaning you can use anything plugged into the Zoom as a microphone. I don't know this 100% as never tested myself, but it sounds like it could work.
where did you get the webcam overlay picture ?
I made it.
@@TechNuovo curious though, if it's one flat image, how does the scene displayed on the larger frame not cover the smaller frame?
@@VoicesThePodcast Layering on Photoshop and using layer masks to hide the crossover points.
The inside of OBS, your main scene will sit at the back as the lowest layer, and then your webcam layer will sit over the top of that.
Where did you get the overlay
I made it.
so you lost me at youtube react overlay... how did u get that picture w the two windows .... small window and the big window..how did u even get that
I made it on Photoshop and saved as a transparent PNG so I could bring it into OBS. There's a tutorial on the channel on our Tutorials Playlist on how to make your own.
What do I do if I only have one screen? The problem I’m having is playing a video full screen, when ever I play full screen I can’t control obs
That could be a little tricky, especially with resizing the full screen RUclips video. Though you could watch the video in a window, and inside of OBS, use a window capture source and crop the window capture to the video area and resize it in OBS.
I have no options with any of this?? Like window capture and all that
Definitely running OBS Studio?
@@TechNuovo yes sir
In the video is he using OBS Studios or OBS streamlabs? The title doesn't specify which one he is using and I want to know because OBS studios is the one I want to use not streamlabs.
OBS Studios.
@@TechNuovo Okay sounds good that's the one I want to use to. I just wanted to make sure that was the one you were using in the video. Thanks for telling me!
How do I get the small box and big screen like you have?
Not sure what you mean by small box and big screen I'm afraid. Could you elaborate please?
So I’m trying to do reaction videos I’m using my webcam on my MacBook Air m2 but I can’t get the split screen like you showed is it because I need a webcam?
Thanks for this video! This was so helpful.
How did you add that image?
If you mean the background PNG then you can add it as an image source in the sources menu at the bottom.
I did the window capture try and react to an anime on Crunchyroll but the screen is pitch black only showing my webcam
Yep, unfortunately services like CrunchyRoll, Netflix etc will have an anti screen recording feature due to piracy. Best thing to do is download RUclips clips and edit the video before publishing it.
How do you get your overlay?
I made it in Photoshop. There's a video in the OBS Tutorial playlist on the channel that runs through how to do this.
@@TechNuovo okay, thank you! I’m gonna go watching it! Very informative video btw! 👏🏽
@@KeeYoung_ thanks for checking out the content!
@@TechNuovoI also subscribed 🤗
@@KeeYoung_ Legend! Thank you!
how do i get the webcam background in the first place?
It can be made on Canva or Photoshop or other image editing programs that allow for transparent PNG exports.
I presume we'd need to hit 'start recording,' correct?
Yep. To record your footage to your hard drive, hit the 'Start Recording' button.
Why are you not responding to the people asking for the overlay
I do. I send them this video to learn how to create their own: ruclips.net/video/bwW8DIWrkJo/видео.htmlsi=rCIN2BlV52QfAUN2
Thank you.
Im using OBS. Everythign is set up. When I pull up a video on netflix or crunchyroll for anime, I can hear and see the subtitles. However, the image doesnt pop up. can you help?
That's because Netflix and probably CrunchyRoll have built in piracy protection hence the black screen. Unfortunately doing something like that is illegal.
@@TechNuovo so where are these other RUclips reactors getting those episodes from?
@@AJCoCoQueen to be honest I have no idea as I've never engaged in that kind of content creation. There may be another screen recorder software out there that can do it, or they're receiving clips from the PR firms of these shows for the purpose of making content.
@@AJCoCoQueenGo to the website on your browser
Can you stop the video you’re reacting to and then resume play ?
Yep. If you're on the browser window you can pause and skip etc like you usually would and it will still come through OBS.
Can you just use your iphone for video and sound instead .
You could but this is more better in the long one , you can start out that way but then this way is your next step
Where do you get the border? I'm unable to figure that out.
I made it myself in Photoshop.
@@TechNuovo Oh okay, THanks anyway
@@user-tm4my4jb6d what if we dont have photoshop. can you share yours for free?
When i use VLC video source, instead of window capture cos i want to react to a video already downloaded into my pc, i can't seem to hear the audio. Buh when i play directly from RUclips via window capture, i hear the audio out. How can i solve this please?
Your audio input capture will need to target where your audio is being played from. Go to the bottom right of your desktop to your system tray, and click the little speaker. Whwtever that is, set your OBS audio input capture to that. This way your audio will play through OBS.
I dont understand how i can go full screen on RUclips and still use obs, as soon as i go full screen on RUclips it hides obs and i am unable to see if i am capturing everything i want, is their a way to control the RUclips window from the OBS siftware, sych as play, pause, rewind, full screen ect.
Not that I know of. Usually a second monitor is the way to go so you can have full screen RUclips on monitor A and then OBS on monitor B.
Another option is to resize your Window Capture window to the size of the video and resize the window.
Where can I get this overlay?
We've got a tutorial on how to make it on the channel in our tutorial playlist.
How do i get that background?
Make it on Photoshop. I've got a tutorial on how to do it on the channel.
I am unable to play a RUclips video from window capture please help

How do you put it in split screen
Which part of the video are you referring to?
I got my self in the box and the RUclips video in the background. It didn’t play and went it did. It was no sound.
@@TechNuovo I wanted to know if you can do split screen with OBS?
@@sjrahrico you will still have to control the video on the RUclips player for it to play through OBS.
For sound, you will need to find where your sound source is coming from. If its your desktop audio then you will need to add an Audio Output to your sources.
@@sjrahrico split screen gaming do you mean? Or just splitting two image sources?
When I transition to my 2nd scene (where my webcam is the full screen video) It disables my other webcam for the reaction part. Anybody know a fix to this?
How are you pulling your webcam into the scene? You could adding a separate webcam source, and then pulling that into each scene instead of a video device.
@@TechNuovo I have 2 seperate scenes using the same camera (video source) when 1 is active the other it just a black screen.
