Hi

I will record my games, so that in the future it is possible to share them through youtube or facebook... ( but I am not interested in streaming live. )

Anyway my question is...is there some clear steps to creating an Overlay and recording your games to be put on youtube...

I will probably use streamlabs just for convenience... ( even though OBS is free... just to keep things easy and simple. ) but I am open to any suggestions.


Any advice is much appreciated.

It's been years since I done that. This thread goes back a ways, but is also pretty detailed. How to make an overlay and setup OBS for streaming! (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?24282-How-to-make-an-overlay-and-setup-OBS-for-streaming!)
I also believe FG Academy has resources on their website on how to do it as well; Landing Page | Fantasy Grounds Academy (https://www.fantasygroundsacademy.com/)

Don't use Streamlabs. They package up OBS (free open source) and charge for it. You can do it all free in OBS.

Well you can but it's extra work and some times its a lot of work. Streamlabs is great and for free you can get a lot of stuff. Then with a little bit of $ to buy some stuff you can get some very advanced time saving features for very little $.

Stream Elements does that too for little or nothing.

Everything worth while takes a bit of time. ��
