Showcase: Underactuated robotics

Camera:

Set up a camera to record the lecturer plus one full board. If working, use a wireless microphone and plug into mic input on camera. Connect camera (HDMI, possibly usb3) to streaming computer.

Presenting Laptop:

Connect with streaming computer (HDMI).

Youtube channel/account:

Activate for streaming (24h authentication time).

Streamlabs OBS:

On stream computer:

  1. Start Streamlabs OBS

  2. In Streamlabs OBS login to youtube channel

  3. Setup scenes:

    1. Add sources (Microphone, External Display, External Camera)

    2. Check sources (video yes/no, sound yes/no)

    3. Resize camera sources to your liking:

      1. One scene where presenter/blackboard is in focus

      2. One scene where slides are in focus

      3. You can switch between these scenes when you are live by just clicking on them
    4. Check your mic’s volume and adjust such that it stays close to hitting the orange region
  4. Hit “Go Live”, streaming will start immediately

    1. Alternatively schedule stream, then hit go live
  5. Students can ask questions in live-chat.

  6. Stop stream when done.

This will live stream your lecture online immediately. A recording of that livestream is automatically available on your youtube channel ~10min after you finished streaming. No post-processing necessary.

Of course in a simpler setup you can stream from your own computer, with only slides etc.

It is a great free tool - I use it all the time for live webcasting. There are some effective scripts that allow you to start and stop both live and recorded jobs automatically. We use to usb 3 to capture video and audio. Let me know if I can help - ktierney@mit.edu
