This is the most insightful tutorial I've found on OBS X Whatnot. Thank you Ryan!

Great video. Template was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for looking out for the rest of us and explaining in a simple way 🔥

Have had 3 streams and have over 100 sales. This takes it to the next level, thank you!

DUDE! Amazing walkthrough. I can't thank you enough!

Thank you so much for this video. I just started this adventure and your video was tremendous.

Wow!! Thank you so much for this tutorial! Very detailed and superb clarity to detail! Thanks a bunch!!

this is literally the best video I have found on information for this! Even Whatnot customer support couldn't really answer my questions or point me in the right direction... instead they just kept emailing me article after article and that wasn't helpful!

Hi everyone! This video has gotten a lot more views and questions than I intended, Thank you! Whatnot has updated quite a bit since this video was made so I wanted to cover a few things. Your audio will no longer feedback to you, so you must check the audio from another device. If you still are having issues, I have added a drive link to the VB cable installation video only made by whatnot staffer Bug.

OMG THANK YOU you helped me after HOURS of trying to make music and mic work!

BRO COOKED WITH THIS 1 YEAR LATER GOT ME SET UP IN 30 MINS TYSM!!!

Hi Ryan! I am so very grateful for your video. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! its everything i needed to know. you're great at teaching btw! :)

This was very well done. Great job boss

This tutorial was FANTASTIC! I use OBS for general streaming on KZread. I can now create a Whatnot profile in OBS and sell on Whatnot using OBS. I can also use my Streamdeck. Thank you for this.

If you don’t mind me asking how do you use stream deck on whatnot lives?

@GCLaredo207

3 ай бұрын

Hey hey! You would use stream deck the same way you’ve always been using it, except you would have to duplicate your Whatnot scene and add whatever you want to the duplicated scene so that the format is all the same. Now you can add whatever you want to your scenes and add the Shortcuts to stream deck. Keep in mind you cannot use audio. Audio is Done through the microphone through the Whatnot website. You would only be using OBS for the virtual camera for visuals.

Appreciate this. New seller on what not and this definitely helps.

Im an old guy and you made it so simple I love it thank you so much. Can you stream the same feed to 2 places like whatnot and KZread at the same time?

Stellar video, thank you for this dude!!!!

Really great video and incredibly informative so GGs dude! Only issue I face is when I’m trying to click the corners to drag sizing it elongates the picture and stretches everything. Any ideas? Appreciate it!

thanks for this in depth tutorial!!!

Im with you. I just got seller approved to break sports cards and this helps tremendously

Thank you for the detailed video. BTW, do you lose your configuration when you log off of OBS? I seem to. I followed all the instructions and when I went live in a test show my daughter said everything was blank. Will try again.

great video very informative. does this work for windows or just mac. went through everything and it doesnt let me select cam or anything

Thank you my Friend for this Video, perfect for Beginners.

Hi Ryan, Your video is tremendously useful! I used all the settings you provided, but for some reason, my viewers can hear an echo. I can hear it too, but it doesn't bother me as much. I have no idea how to fix it. I use a blue yeti microphone, and plug my headphones into the yeti mix to hear music & me talking during stream.

Great video, Ryan! thanks. Hey I got everything set up the way you suggest, the mic sound is low quality and hard to understand once it gets into Whatnot. Any idea what am i missing?

the audio is moving in my obs even clicking vb cable when starting stream my viewers dont hear any audio and in test stream I cannot hear no audio so no echo? need help????

really nice video bro appreciate it

Thank you so much for this information

great video man!

When I get on the Whatnot on the live stream portion, The OBS visual camera does not show as an option. I did click start virtual steaming beforehand as well.

Really good video thanks!

Great video only question is there is no stream link or anything to link your obs to whatnot like you don’t click start streaming on obs like you would for twitch youtube etc? Just click start virtual camera?

Ryan I want to use my iPhone to hover overhead while opening packs and have the face cam on me. Would this setup apply to that method or do I need to do something else?

hey, having an issue i tried using my camera with whatnot and for some reason my feed is not shown on peoples phones/ and if they are able to see it they say that it looks very bad quality im at 30p on my camera and followed all ur steps to a T. any suggestions?

I need to check my settings again. I've been having a issue of my mic not working. I didn't change any setting and it just stopped working. I can either get my desktop sound to work and not my mic or vice-versa can't have both at the same time.

Great help i hjave set up obs for a different platform so i have the general knowledge. Question what is the dimensions of the main "card screen" i have the template but do not understand the other. i am using a logitec webcam for the main camera.

Hey! Not sure if you read these comments but I have All new software on my MAC and Iphone so it's now using the Continuity Camera. That wont let me change orientations to have the iPhone show up in anything but 16:9. Have you seen a solve for this?

How do I hear what is being played while streaming? Do I need to use headphone on a monitor connection? The stream can hear it, but I can't and don't want feedback into the mic if the music is coming out of the laptop speakers as well as the VB cable setup.

i am struggling, i missed wheere you added the caamera as secfond source. obs wont find my camera so I can work on my computer while steam from my phone

any idea on how to add an monitor device? for example i would like to hear the background music, & mic on both my live stream and my headphones?

Hi Ryan! I hope this message finds you well. I have a question regarding my client's live stream on Whatnot. I created an overlay for him, but the output on the app is different from the output on the web. When watching on the web, the overlay appears too small, while on the app, it appears too big and gets cut off. I'm not sure how this happened because I created the overlay in a 9:16 aspect ratio with a resolution of 1080x1920. Could you help me figure out what went wrong?

Hey I need help. When going to the whatnot stream page I don’t see “start stream” it only says open stream. I cannot change the camera like this

Great video bro. Question though. I’m not able to use the desktop audio option to play music. It doesn’t show sound on the mixer when I play music from iTunes. Is that because the mic I’m using is the laptop MacBook mic?

Can you hook up your phone for the camera through obs?

How can you run the auctions? Do you have to still do it through the pc? can you have an iphone logged in as well?

how do you check the audio of the stream on a seperate device when its in private mode? i cant use another account and when i try to enter on my whatnot account on my phone it wants to switch everything over to my phone.....

Do I need a laptop to properly use the OBS for Whatnot? I'm wondering because my phone won't let me set up a test stream on Whatnot. Or can a tablet substitute the laptop for using OBS properly? Thank You

Great easy to follow video. I have all the same settings applied. When I run the in test mode on whatnot with the feed muted there is a 2 second delay from what I do on my end to what is seen on whatnot. How can I reduce the delay? using 920 for webcam for face facing and iPhone 11Max Pro for Card facing through the lightning cord. I even went out and got the lightning adapter to HDMI but OBS wasnt picking up my iphone through IOS camera for filmic pro app (waste of $14 lol) so I had to go back to straight cable to iPhone. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to my first giveways show tomorrow (I hope) lol.

@BigBobbyBuilds

not the wrong type of webcam. Check your settings within Obs by right clicking your device. Also make sure your drivers are up to date. Scaling down shouldnt pixelate your image.

What about sending my iPhone image to obs is that possible. I don’t have a spare camera besides my webcam and my phone

One question. So is your card cam a Logitech webcam that you've got set up with some type of arm holding it to the table? Just trying to picture in my head what your actual setup looks like for that.

@RyanStochinsky

2 жыл бұрын

Great question! My camera sits on top of a super clamp that attaches to my desk. I prefer the low angle looking up at the cards, but some people also use mic arms and things like it to go for the top-down look.

Is there a way to listen to the music that I’m streaming as well through headphones or anything? As I’m in silence when I follow these instructions otherwise everything works amazing

alright i dont know how many of you had this problem but i did. when you download vb cable make sure to extract files. open up new folder and run the setupx64 as administrator to get it to show up on obs

Hello and Great Video. I have watched this so many times. Can you cover something I am having an extremely hard time with. I am having the worst time getting a Stream Key from Whatnot. Is there a way I can find this myself. Someone said it would be under my Whatnot Seller Info, but it is nowhere to be found. Please and thanks.

Before I even get started on this, I see iPhone OBS template...is this available for android as well?

When I have vb cable selected the music wont show on streaming. when i go into my apple laptop settings and change the audio output to that vb cable it seems like it works but the Problem is I cant hear any music at all, but other people who stream me, can. I did this with whatnot

Watching this 2 years (!) after the fact and everything stops for me at DL the VB Audio Cable as that zip file is no longer compat with Win10/11. BUMMER as I tried another VB Cable installer and OBS did not seem to recognize that, as well. Any help for a new Seller?

I am trying to use continuity camera fr OBS. However there is no way to zoom out of the iphone camera. I am trying to get my recording to fit within whatnot's center of canvas. However anyway that I choose to resize it, I can only stretch it out to weirdly fit it, or I have to cut out majority of what my iphone camera is picking up.

Do you still have the link for the WhatNot template?

Can you use alerts like when people follow etc? I used to stream games but I love the alert system. Also can you green screen yourself? I don't see why not :)

@Aspirintax

I haven’t found a way to use alerts yet, but you could create custom alerts for sales and use a StreamDeck to launch them. And as far as green screen goes, anything that works natively within OBS will work, so yes

How do I use my phone as the card cam and the webcam as the face came? Is it possible? I have a microphone as well does it still apply the same way if I use my phone as card cam?

Do you know how to add a randomizer spin wheel as well?

question, so in this set up are you using two webcams? I'm using an iPhone 13 pro for my main focus and then a webcam for my face. my question is Im using a yeti plugged in my iPhone for now, I was wondering if this audio set up is better or should I do something like yours?

@RyanStochinsky

2 жыл бұрын

A yeti straight into an iPhone is great! The only benefit of using obs in terms of audio is you can active things like noise gates and eq to help with background noise and get the most outta the microphone. But your setup is already far past the average user.

hey great video I'm having a issue with my vb ac I have downloaded it and even paid the $5 for donation ware and it still is not showing up on my computer ... how do I know that my ac is properly downloaded and installed ( it never appears in my audio options)

What camera and microphone do you use (the camera that shows the actual stream, not the facecam)?

I for the life of me cant get my output video to show up in what not with the correct size my iphone video is super zoomed in. Anyway to adjust my iphone camera so its not so zoomed in?

First off, great video and very informative! I learned a lot, but one thing I can’t get is when I plug my webcam and/or iPhone into obs it automatically fills the 1920x1080 frame in widescreen mode. Then when I go to shape it like you did for whatnot both camera views are getting black borders around each . All you had to do was rotate yours but both my cameras are in widescreen mode and I can’t make them vertical without sacrificing a lot of the camera view with the black borders. If anyone can help it would be deeply appreciated! Thank you!

hey man when i do a test stream i can hear the music and my mic but the stream and the people watching can only hear me and no music i don't known what's happening or i will get the sound from my desktop but then its super distorted and has a loud ringing like interference and i do not have the stream open on the desktop i am recording

I would start by double checking the advanced audio properties in obs and then also check you are using the correct input when streaming. If those are the same check you monitor output device.

Hi Ryan - Great video! Unfortunately, when I go to my whatnot test stream, I see the video feed just fine but I hear no audio (which I guess I should be hearing!). Right now I only have my Sony ZV1 camera attached to OBS and which I've attached an external mic. By the way is the external mic something that should show up as an audio device in OBS? At the moment all I see is a reference to the ZV1 microphone when I tried to add the external mic to OBS! I am pulling my hair out here - can you offer any suggestions as to what might be going wrong here?
