iPad/iPhone Screen Mirroring to Windows PC via AirDroid Cast

Background: AirDroid Cast (the free version) allows wireless screen mirroring from a mobile device (Android, iOS, iPadOS) to a Mac or Windows PC (the paid version enables other options like Apple’s AirPlay and USB). Both mobile and desktop need to be running the application for each respective platform. This tutorial is specifically for iPad/iPhone screen mirroring to a Windows PC (iPad/iPhone’s can stream natively to any AirPlay device including Mac’s running at least macOS 12 Monterey). Testing Note: I ran this setup for several hours streaming audio/video without any crashes or frame rate drops (my PC is connected via Cat6...

Multistreaming via OBS

This is a work-in-progress… Multistreaming (aka multicasting) is simply being able to stream to different platforms simultaneously. Note that each specific platform has their own requirements (to qualify for live streaming). None of that will be covered here. As for the how, there are different ways to achieve this, each with their positives and negatives. Restream.io The free version of Restream.io allows streaming to two platforms (paid allows streaming to 30+ platforms simultaneously); OBS is reconfigured to stream directly to Restream (where you setup your Twitch and YouTube stream key info). While it’s not my preference because it is now...

Screenshot Twitch Stream to Discord via Streamer.bot and OBS

This tutorial is for a channel point redeem that takes a screenshot of a camera source (raw) from a selected scene in OBS Studio (using Streamer.bot), which is then posted into a channel on Discord. Capturing a screenshot with all of the overlays is more complicated (and is not covered). Similarly, an onstream visual/sound effect are also not covered. Please see the note in Step 6 regarding the security considerations of running this bot. Note: this requires an OBS setup running on a Windows based PC since Streamer.bot is a Windows only application. Step 1: Download Streamer.bot Step 2: Extract...

Sidekick Clip Shoutout

Overlay for OBS that plays back clip from a channel (allows you to shoutout video clips from a Twitch channel). Note that this used to exist at efuse.gg/sidekick but is now located at the linked site. Prior overlays/settings were not migrated over to the new site (but may still be running on the prior site). It’s a standard browser source overlay for OBS that is configurable. Step 1: Create an account and sign in (old efuse.gg accounts still work; you will just need to link your streaming platform account). Some of the following screenshots do not match the newer setup...
