Step-by-Step Guide

To play clips in your stream, follow these steps.

First, you need to have a clip. This can either be downloaded or created yourself with recording software like Streamlabs OBS. Make sure that the clip is saved on your computer before proceeding.

Now select the scene in the left sidebar where you want to play the clips. This could for example be your streaming scene. Make sure to select the correct scene so the clips appear at the desired location.

Once you have chosen the correct scene, go to the sources and click on the plus sign. Here, select the "Media Source" option. This allows you to add your clips as a source.

Now it's time to add the source. Select "Local File" and make sure the checkbox is active. Then click "Browse" to select your clip. Check "Restart playback when source becomes active" and uncheck "Loop" if you want the clip to play only once.

To ensure that you can also hear the sound of the clip, go to the Mixer in the upper right corner and click on the gear next to your source name. Set the audio monitoring to "Monitoring and Output." This ensures that the clip's audio is audible during the stream.

Now it's time to set a shortcut for playing the clip. To do this, go to the Hotkeys by clicking on the gear icon and scroll to the scenes. Find the scene where you added the clip and select the key you want to use to play the clip, for example, F1.

Press the key you selected twice to play the clip. Make sure to move or resize the clip as necessary for your stream.

Also check the volume of your clip in the Mixer. This adjustment is important so that your viewers can hear both the clip and your voice clearly. Ensure that the volume of the clip is balanced with your microphone.

If you want to add another clip, simply repeat the process and assign it a new key, such as F2. This way, you can easily add and play multiple clips.

As a final tip: If you have set up a points system in your stream, you can give your viewers the option to exchange points for clips. This promotes interactivity and provides additional entertainment.
