Setting the foundation for your OBS Setup
OBS Studio is a technology that has changed my media content workflows! While many tutorials exist that are geared towards streaming gaming content, this is the first of a series of tutorials on using OBS to create awesome video content tailored to R and data science. In this video, I share the fundamental concepts of scene organization and how I create the basic building blocks to customized camera and R development scenes, with many additional tips throughout the session. Looking at OBS at first glance can be quite intimidating, but I hope my demonstrations in this and future videos will go a long way to get you set up for success. Check the timestamps below for navigation to the key topics!
