Buzz
Open Broadcast Software (OBS) is a versatile software that supports screen recording, webcam usage, and live streaming, much like XSPlit. OBS offers the advantage of being compatible with multiple platforms such as Windows, MAC OS, and Linux. It boasts a user-friendly interface, lightweight design, and best of all, it's completely free. With OBS, you can effortlessly live stream on Facebook regardless of the game you're playing. In this article, Mytour will provide step-by-step instructions on how to live stream Minecraft on Facebook.
GUIDE TO LIVE STREAMING MINECRAFT ON FACEBOOK
Step 1: Launch the main interface of OBS. Right-click on an empty space in the Sources box.
Step 2: Hover over the Add tab, click on it, and select Game Capture.
Step 3: In the Create/Select Source dialog box, choose Create New, name your new source, and then click OK.
Step 4: After creating the new tab, the Properties window of the source you just created will appear. Under the Mode option, select Capture specific window to filter out the windows currently open on your computer.
Step 5: In the Window option, select the window of [javaw.exe]: MineCraft 1.11.2 for capturing the MineCraft game live stream, then click OK.
Step 6: Once you've finished setting up the live streaming of MineCraft on OBS, you'll see the MineCraft game screen on the main interface of the tool. However, the screen may be resized, so you'll need to use your mouse to adjust it to full screen.
Step 7: Select Settings to proceed with live streaming MineCraft on Facebook.
Step 8: For now, leave the OBS Settings window open, and click CREATE LIVE VIDEO ON FACEBOOK below to start live streaming on Facebook.
Step 9: Next, a small notification window from Facebook will appear. You can choose to broadcast the video to your friends, groups, or a page you manage. After making your selection, click Next.
Step 10: If no notification window appears, check the icon in your browser's address bar as the notification may be blocked. Click on the icon at the top right of the browser toolbar, select Always allow pop-ups and redirects, then click on the link in the notification and click Finish.
Step 11: In this step, you need to fill in the content of the live video (similar to a status update), the live video title, tags, and you will be provided with 2 addresses: Server URL and Stream Key. These are the links from OBS to your Facebook for streaming MineCraft live. Copy the entire address in the Stream Key box.
Step 12: Don't close the Facebook window just yet. Go back to OBS, switch to the Stream tab, change the Service to Facebook, and paste the content you just copied from the Stream Key box into the Stream key field. Then click OK.
Step 13: Return to the main screen of OBS, click on Start Streaming.
Step 14: Open the Go Live window on Facebook, wait a moment, and you'll see your MineCraft gameplay being live streamed on Facebook, but only visible to you for now. Click Go Live to publicly live stream MineCraft on Facebook for everyone to watch.
Step 15: You'll see your live video stream appear on your Facebook, where people can comment and express their reactions to your live video.
That's how Mytour has guided you through fully live streaming on Facebook with the MineCraft game. If you want to live stream mobile games, you can use BlueStacks to live stream mobile games on Facebook.
Wishing everyone a great success!
