Use this interactive demo to learn how to live stream your screen to YouTube using OBS.

Quick summary

This demo walks you through how to stream your screen to YouTube using OBS and YouTube Studio. You'll configure a scene, add a Display Capture source, and verify your live feed end-to-end in just a few steps.


Steps

  1. Open OBS and confirm your YouTube stream key is already configured.
  2. In the Scenes panel, create a new scene or select an existing one.
  3. Under Sources, click the + icon and select Display Capture.
  4. Choose the monitor or screen you want to share, then click OK.
  5. Confirm your screen appears in the OBS preview window.
  6. Return to YouTube Studio and verify your screen feed appears correctly in the live preview.

📌 Why this matters

Streaming your screen on YouTube lets creators, educators, and businesses broadcast tutorials, gameplay, and presentations to a global audience in real time. Using OBS with YouTube Studio gives you full control over your screen capture source, scene layout, and stream quality before going live. Verifying your feed in YouTube Studio's live preview ensures a professional, error-free broadcast every time. This workflow is the standard setup for anyone looking to start screen-based live streaming on YouTube.
