OBS Setup Guide
Step 1: Download OBS
Download and install OBS Studio from the official OBS website.
Step 2: Configure OBS Stream Settings
In OBS, navigate to Settings → Stream and configure:
- Service: Select WHIP
- Server:
https://b.siobud.com/api/whip - Stream Key: Any key you like (e.g., "MyStream") — no spaces allowed, use dashes or underscores instead
Choose a unique, hard-to-guess stream key! Anyone who knows your stream key can watch your stream. Avoid simple keys like "test" or "stream" — use something unique like your username + random characters (e.g., "MyName_x9k2f").
- Click OK to save
Step 3: Setup Audio and Screen Capture
Using Linux? Click here for Linux-specific instructions
The steps below differ slightly on Linux:
- Screen sharing: Use Add Source → Screen Capture (PipeWire) instead of Display Capture
- Isolating Audio: Install the PipeWire audio capture plugin (see below), then add "Application Audio Capture (PipeWire)" as a source and exclude the applications you don't want everyone to hear.
- Audio: Mute all other sound sources. The only Audio Mixer that should have sound is "Application Audio Capture (PipeWire)".
PipeWire Plugin Installation:
-
Flatpak OBS: Download the latest release labelled flatpak from GitHub Releases → Extract and copy the plugin folder to
~/.var/app/com.obsproject.Studio/config/obs-studio/plugins/(create the plugins folder if it doesn't exist)- If audio issues occur: Run
flatpak override --filesystem=xdg-run/pipewire-0 com.obsproject.Studioin your terminal
- If audio issues occur: Run
-
Regular OBS: Download the latest release from GitHub Releases → Extract and copy the plugin folder to
~/.config/obs-studio/plugins/(create the plugins folder if it doesn't exist)
In the Sources panel (bottom middle):
- For screen sharing: Click + → Display Capture → OK
- For ONLY game audio (not system sounds): Click + → Application Audio Capture (BETA) → Select your game → OK
- Mute all other sound sources, such as your Microphone & Desktop Audio. This ensures viewers will not hear an echo of themselves or you while watching.
Step 4: Reduce Latency (Optional)
For sub-second latency instead of the default ~2 seconds, go to Settings → Output:
- Change the Output Mode to Advanced
- Set encoder to x264
- Set tune to zerolatency
Step 5: Go Live & Share
- Click Start Streaming (bottom right in OBS)
- Join a Space on the website
- Enter your stream key in the top bar and press Enter
