I am brand new to creating reaction videos. I watched Kevin Stratvert, who was very helpful in getting me started and some functionality, BUT your video helped me understand how to place both the youtube video and your webcam on the screen at the same time. After watching several videos and getting frustrated, I FINALLY get it, thanks to you. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I’m a sign language interpreter and I’ve been trying to find a software that will allow me to record myself (interpreting) alongside a live RUclips presentation. A quick view of your video motivated me to downloaded OBS - and it seems to be exactly what I need! I look forward to reviewing your video and following your step by step instructions! Thanks again!
Let me start by saying it really means a lot that you took the time to leave such a wonderful comment. Before I made this video I was telling my self it had been 3 years since I made a video for how to do reactions in obs studio. But that video was around 5 minutes long and so when I finished recording this one I was like well this is more thorough than the other one for sure haha. I honestly didn’t think it would be liked since now most people don’t have time or attention spans to want to watch longer tutorials. But I went ahead and posted it as a (beginners type) of video since I explained why and why not to do certain things in stead of just saying how to do it. And then I see this comment. It’s crazy how things tend to work out in the end. Especially after I made this randomly out of no where. And I also seen that this video is being recommend and viewed by RUclipss (browse features) when usually my videos are mainly getting their views from (search). So that’s pretty cool too. Also you’re more than welcome. I’m sure you’ll make some awesome things.
thank you so much! I wanted to do split screen but I like this format better the one where my camera is full screen and the video I'm watching is small! you're awesome!
@YXLtheMAN great tutorial but for some reason my version of Streamlabs OBS doesn't have the Properties button for screen capture. What am I doing wrong?
thank you, this seems like a silly question, so I manged to do all that you suggested, how do I get it so that I am on the screen with out all the obs stuff around. don't know if you will understand the question? thanks anyway. mark
That’s odd. I’m not sure honestly. But Sometimes when the app is doing strange things I find a previous version to download back to. Or see if they have a newer version and I’m usually back in business after that.
thanks man my pc was in repair shop for few months and im having to relearn a lot of stuff to get back at it:) redownloading software, obs, cameras , lighting etc etc I do music reactions on my other youtube - ty
You’re more than welcome. I remember the few times I’ve had to start over from scratch and it was a doozy haha. I had to take some breaks here and there to calm my mind.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I don't have a mac, and all I have is display capture or window capture. It keeps producing multiple screens inside each other.
You’re not doing anything wrong. That’s what it’s supposed to say for you and that’s what it’s supposed to do. You’re supposed to turn off your display preview by right clicking it and disabling it. And also when you are doing other things on the computer outside of obs it won’t have the infinity ♾️ screen effect. Thats only going to happen inside of the application that is the one showing the screen in the first place. Hope this helps
this was helpful but im confused on how to create a big scene and then transition into a reaction setup like how youtube reactors intro there video before they react to content
To have it like that. You just have to click the plus icon and make a new scene and only have your camera in that one Make it fit the screen by right clicking on the camera source and click transform then click fit to screen. Then switch from that scene to the reaction scene when they are ready to start.
oh i figured the stuff out i just had to reset the settings but how do i avoid copyright strikes if i wanted to watch an episode of something?@@YXLtheMAN
@Ncholasbloom the only way to avoid copy right strikes is to only watch things that’s aren’t copyrighted. But even if something isn’t copyrighted today the creator could always do it later and strike people’s videos at a different time.
That’s your screen mirroring infinitely RUclips is there when you put it there on your screen. I have more than one monitor and RUclips is on that monitor. But you could just add a window capture or application capture and choose what you have RUclips opened in also. But What you are doing is right and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. It is showing everything on your computers window.
I am working on starting to do reaction videos, I was wondering do you need two devices to do them, something new to a brother, can you help a brother out...
Brotha I appreciate your video SO much! New to OBS and was looking for tips and yours gave me exactly what I was looking for! Awesome job and nice setup!
You’re more than welcome! I’m glad it helped. thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. And thanks I’ve been trying get it looking decent haha.
Anything with at least 8 cpu cores or more in case you want to or need to edit. And something with a rtx graphics card since they have a dedicated chip for video encoding that won’t cause a performance hit.

do you have a video on how to add the phone as a camera?
Setup and video are both beautiful!!!
Thank you
thank you so much! I wanted to do split screen but I like this format better the one where my camera is full screen and the video I'm watching is small! you're awesome!
You're welcome!! And thank you.
Thank you so much! I will be using your settings to react on videos on RUclips and twitch! If I have any questions, you will hear from me!
You’re more than welcome. And of course
How do you get RUclips video up for display capture?
Opening your web browser and going to RUclips.
Do these upload on RUclips as a live or a video?
Appreciate you for sharing this information. Thank you 🙏🏾, definitely the most comprehensive answer
You’re very welcome. And thank you!
help! when i click on macOS screen capture i just get a black screen and it doesnt show anything. i even resized it.
@YXLtheMAN great tutorial but for some reason my version of Streamlabs OBS doesn't have the Properties button for screen capture. What am I doing wrong?
thank you, this seems like a silly question, so I manged to do all that you suggested, how do I get it so that I am on the screen with out all the obs stuff around. don't know if you will understand the question? thanks anyway. mark
What if you're not getting "CBR" as an option in video encoder settings after selecting Apple VT HEVC Hardware Encoder? Why would that be?
That’s odd. I’m not sure honestly. But Sometimes when the app is doing strange things I find a previous version to download back to. Or see if they have a newer version and I’m usually back in business after that.
@@YXLtheMAN Thank you!
Will this capture the audio of the video I am reacting to? thanks so much
Yes it will
As long as your desktop audio device is selected and added in obs
Can you use a phone instead of a monitor for your second screen?
Maybe if your phone and computer can do that I’m not sure though.
How do I stop the video from echoing..im using my phone for the camera
How can I get the actual YT vid on my lower right ? I can only see my screen background
How would you resize it for TikTok so that you have your reaction on top and the video on bottom?
Go into the setting and change the base canvas resolution and output resolution.
To 1080 X 1920
thanks man my pc was in repair shop for few months and im having to relearn a lot of stuff to get back at it:)
redownloading software, obs, cameras , lighting etc etc

@@YXLtheMAN lol ya, taking my time
Getting there
Lots of good tips in there, Mr.
Cheers
Thank you !

This is really great thank you!
Is the display capture supposed to be the reaction video?
It can be. Or you can use the windows capture. Which ever works best and easiest for you
this was helpful but im confused on how to create a big scene and then transition into a reaction setup like how youtube reactors intro there video before they react to content

i just tried doing that but still stuck@@YXLtheMAN
What is it doing? Like it won’t go from scene to scene or something else?
oh i figured the stuff out i just had to reset the settings but how do i avoid copyright strikes if i wanted to watch an episode of something?@@YXLtheMAN
@Ncholasbloom the only way to avoid copy right strikes is to only watch things that’s aren’t copyrighted. But even if something isn’t copyrighted today the creator could always do it later and strike people’s videos at a different time.
How do I get the internal audio from the video I’m reacting to ?
@@FameSquadFamily add your desktop audio in where it shows it in the audio settings section
I want to record more long form reactions, this should help, thank you 🙏🏼
You’re welcome!
i still don’t understand how you got the youtube video there because mine just has multiple screens on it still
That’s your screen mirroring infinitely
RUclips is there when you put it there on your screen. I have more than one monitor and RUclips is on that monitor. But you could just add a window capture or application capture and choose what you have RUclips opened in also. But What you are doing is right and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. It is showing everything on your computers window.
thank you for the video, i am a newbie. and this was perfect for me.
You’re more than welcome
How do i get the sound to play from the video to record as well
I’m not sure what you mean. The video you’re watching should play with sound like it usually does.
Thanks for the Instructions my guy!💯
Any time!
Using canon r6 mark ii , My camera keeps shutting off because I’m not recording from it.
Sounds like you have auto power off enabled in settings.
I am working on starting to do reaction videos, I was wondering do you need two devices to do them, something new to a brother, can you help a brother out...
No you could do it all with one computer and obs
Brotha I appreciate your video SO much! New to OBS and was looking for tips and yours gave me exactly what I was looking for! Awesome job and nice setup!
You’re more than welcome! I’m glad it helped. thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
And thanks I’ve been trying get it looking decent haha.
What’s a decent pc to use for obs bro?
Anything with at least 8 cpu cores or more in case you want to or need to edit. And something with a rtx graphics card since they have a dedicated chip for video encoding that won’t cause a performance hit.
Why can’t they hear RUclips video I’m watch but I can ?
you have to make sure your output tracks for each thing is set to go to the stream
Bro nothing shows up when I go to RUclips. I can see myself but getting that god damn RUclips screen does not show
Thanks
i dont have a microphone just my gaming headset
You say this is for beginners but I was confused in less than a minute.
A beginner video needs to be aimed at dummies like me.
I hear you sexy lady.
About a minute in I was like, whew you're assuming a lot sir. But it was a helpful overview so I know what I want to do is possible.
@itsliterallyericka my apologies.
could you tell me the things that you thought I was assuming?
Makes no sense how you did that I can’t do the same
SUPER HELPFUL VIDEO💯FINNA FILM MY 1ST REACTION VID HERE 2DAY😮💨
🥳
For Beginners, Uh huh😂
Exactly. I was confused quickly and quit in less than 2 minutes.
You are moving to fast bro
My apologies
@YXLtheMAN
My apologies too fam, I should've thanked you for making the much needed content for us. Bless Up🙏🏾

@@VersatileShakia change the playback speed in with the settings cog
Thanks for the video. Don't worry about the speed we can always Pause and Rewind.
