Quick tips

Studio mode

On the bottom right of your default OBS screen you should see a Studio Mode button inside the Controls section. It's a nice feature allowing you to see:

• The actual streamed content on the right side of your screen
• The future content to stream on the left side of your screen (like a preview mode)
• Some button on the center, allowing you to push the preview mode into the live stream
  • Transition button will change the view after a short transition animation
  • Cut button will change the view right away without any animation (usefull to adapt really fast if you have some change to make at the same time than a speaker is presenting for example)
