Previews

On the top left corner, those 4 previews are the 4 scenes available to stream to the output.

On the right, this is the program preview. It's what end users will see on the streaming platform (Twitch, Youtube...).

The black space between the previews and the bottom panel is split in two parts: on the left the upcoming scheduled content, on the right the logs send by OBS.

On the bottom, it's the control panel.

The control panel

The 4 gray/yellow buttons on the left, labelled fallback, scheduled, slot1 and slot2 are to switch between scenes. ⚠️ Clicking on one of those will immediately change the scene for the output (aka. program) view.

The LIVE button in the bottom right corner is to trigger on or off the livestream. It's red when the stream in live. ⚠️ Clicking on it will instantly change the livestream state, without confirmation.

The 4 buttons above the LIVE button are to manage the content. The first one, media manager, is to upload new MP4 files to the system.

In media manager, pick a file and choose a name for it, then click upload. The upload button will be blinking until the upload is complete. Do not refresh your page or exit it while it's running.

In the fallback settings tab, you can choose one of the files you already uploaded and named as a fallback. Be careful because if fallback is the current selected scene, this will instantly change the video with a somewhat abrupt transition. If you like to have smooth transition, use the scheduler tab instead.

The scheduler tab has 2 inputs: one is for choosing the date and time you want to schedule your content, and the second is to select the already named and uploaded video. Once you're ready, click schedule. If you scheduled a content for a future date and time (I hope you did), it will appear in the middle of the screen as scheduled.

In the last tab, the stream settings tab, you can manage things like changing the streaming key, or show/hide the watermark (SelfDev logo in the top right corner).
