Setting Up in OBS
In OBS (I use Streamlabs OBS), adding audio and video sources is essential. Begin by clicking the plus cog to add a new device. For video, select “Video Capture Device” and name it “HDMI Video.” Then, add the source, ensuring your camcorder or console is connected via HDMI. For audio, choose “Audio Input Capture” and name it “HDMI Audio.” Select the appropriate audio source, typically a digital audio interface to USB audio, reflecting the path from your HDMI capture card to your computer.
