If we then go down to the Advanced tab a useful feature is the Stream Delay. This will make sure that all your streams are recorded so you can use them later as content on other platforms. In the General settings it may be useful to turn on “Automatically record when streaming”. To access these settings click on the settings COG in the bottom left hand corner of Streamlabs and this will open a settings panel. Streamlabs General Settingsīefore we even get into setting up your scenes there is some general settings inside Streamlabs that we want to setup first, to ensure our stream runs smoothly. The more you stream the more you may want to up your production by adding more scenes and having more sources. These 3 parts of your interface allow you to quickly and easily make modifications on your stream. This is global and will not change when you change your scene. Here we can add different audio sources such as microphones, game audio and system audio. The mixer is where we control all of our audio settings from. This is also where you will add your gameplay footage whether that’s from a capture card or capturing from your computer. This allows you to add graphics, webcam borders, alert boxes, cameras and loads more. Sources allow you to add different elements to a scene. However if you want to take your production to the next level you can have lots of scenes in your Streamlabs which you can switch between during streams. For example you may have one scene for your gameplay with a facecam in the corner and then a second scene with your facecam as the whole screen for “Just Chatting” to your viewers. Scenes allow you to have differently designed screens to show at different stages on your stream. Let me explain in a little more detail what these are. Here we have three main tabs Scenes, Sources and the mixer.

You can then choose one of the Free Streamlabs themes to use. Make sure to add the correct Mic & Webcam that you want to use for your stream.
