How to setup a livestream event

Lesson 1: Equipment you need

To get started you need some hardware and software sorted out.

Hardware

A powerful pc that can carry the load of the different (HD) camera inputs
Good wired internet connection for the best streaming results
When using higher quality cameras (DSLR/system camera) you need capture cards. This will process the footage and make it useable on the computer
An external microphone
Optional: a green screen
Studio lights, day light balanced

Software

Main piece of software used for the EDUC stream: OBS Studio
- OBS Studio is designed for streaming and screen recording
- In here you can build up your livestream and control it
A platform to stream to, where your audience can see it
- If this is a platform supported by OBS (for example: Facebook, YouTube, Twitch) you can simply set everything up through the set-up in OBS
- If you want to stream to a platform that's not supported by OBS you will need two other plugins:
  - OBS Virtual Cam
  - Virtual Audio cable

The next lesson will go more in to depth about the hard- and software we used for the EDUC livestream.
