OBS for Beginners in 2026 (Set Up Basic Scenes, Alerts, and Audio!)

This is my simple, very unfancy tutorial showing you how to set up the very basics of OBS to start streaming ASAP.

❗❗❗ For your bitrate, FPS, etc., if you're just starting out, I would encourage you to use autoconfig - you can run it by clicking on the tools menu in OBS and selecting autoconfiguration wizard.


Let me know what other tutorials you'd like to see in the future in the comments!
