Some of GameChanger users use Open Broadcast Studio (OBS) to use other camera sources, such as video cameras or more advanced cameras, to stream to GameChanger.  This can also add additional visuals not currently available on GameChanger.  

This option is not suggested for users who are just beginning with streaming or who have limited streaming experience with external cameras.

The steps below assume that you:

• Have successfully streamed a game on GameChanger via an external camera using RTMP(s) URLs and Stream Keys.
• Know how to use OBS to stream to a custom RTMP(s) destination.
