** How to Create a Screen Recording with OBS

Transcript

G'day in this video we're going to show you how to record screen and audio using OBS, and this is the system that we use to record our screen and audio for creating process flows. It all starts with the video of what's being done. And then from there it goes on to the next stage. Let's just focus on using OBS to start with

so the control panels fairly easy you can see over here this is where all the controls that we need to worry about. The first thing you do when you want to start is make sure that the window you want to record is on the right hand monitor. So we currently have three on our desktop and in that monitor is what's going to be recorded up here.

You then press on start recording and once you press on start recording will then turn blue and it will record your voice through the Blue Yeti microphone so it needs to be plugged in and turned on and anything you do on the screen as you can see this is a screen recording, it will record that as well as your mouse.

When you press stop recording and we're not going to press stop recording now because then you will be able to hear the rest of the process but it will then turn from Blue back to start recording. You then go into g drive. So Google Drive files stream into my drive into flow processes and then into videos. And you will find the videos that are created literally create them automatically. So here's some videos that I was playing with. I'm just getting everything set up. So when you find your video, it'll have a date and the time so you'll know exactly what it was. So this one was made 2019 03 11. So the third 2019 at 1624 hours and 16 seconds. So that's not a very handy way to identify things for us. So click on the file press F2 and then type in a descriptive name. So in our case is going to be how to record a flow process with OBS on the right hand screen.

So it's really important that we have really good clear explanations for the file that can be as long as you like. Because these will end up being able to be searched on our intranet which is my pepperscafe.com that I you and then the next part will actually incorporate all the voiceover that I'm doing now. So this will be transferred over to written text so that we can search for that as well. And the idea being that the more information we can provide the easier it's going to be for people to find information when I was in a hurry so instead of having try to to look for particular video, they can just search for OBS house

And hopefully this video would make it right at the very top of the list.  So I'm gonna stop this recording now and get ready for the next part.
