Audience

This document is intended for users who are setting up OBS Studio for the first time. It will help them configure it with the JUXT OBS package.

Procedure

Requirements

• OBS Studio Installer

• JUXT OBS configuration package (JUXT-OBS.zip)

OBS Installation and Setup

Step 1: Download and Extract the JUXT OBS Package

Download the JUXT OBS zipped configuration package OBS-JUXT.zip and extract/unzip it to a convenient location on your system. Alternatively, you can just Clone this repository and navigate to the OBS-JUXT folder within it.

Step 2: Install OBS Studio

Go to this link and download the appropriate installer for your operating system. Alternatively, you could also install OBS from your system’s "App Store", or via a package manager.

Install OBS Studio following the usual installation process for your system.

Step 3: Install the Font

Within the extracted folder, locate the file InterFace_Trial_Rg.ttf. To install the font, double-click the file and select Install. If your operating system requires a different method to install fonts, follow that method. This is to ensure that there is a consistent font that can work across all operating systems.

Step 4: Launch OBS Studio and Initial Setup

Launch OBS Studio. When prompted, select whether you intend to stream or record. If you are unsure, choose Recording for now. Make sure the Base Canvas Resolution is set to 1920x1080. Click Next for all other settings.

Note	If you selected to stream, provide your Twitch or other streaming service credentials/keys when prompted.

Click Apply Settings when finished.

Step 5: Import Scene Collection

At the top of the OBS window, click the Scene Collection tab. From the dropdown, select Import. If prompted to confirm anything, click Yes.

Next, in the Collection Path column, click the three dots and navigate to the folder where you extracted the JUXT OBS package. Select the file JUXT Scenes.json and click Import.

Step 6: Add the JUXT Lua Script

Go to the Tools tab at the top of OBS and select Scripts. In the bottom left, click the + button to add a new script. By default, you’ll be taken to the default OBS scripts folder.

Navigate to the extracted JUXT OBS folder and select the file JUXT Script.lua. It may cause some pop-ups to appear, please close/click cancel on any that do.

Note	It may also cause OBS to crash or freeze, if so just restart it. Once OBS is running again, open the Scripts menu.

On the right-hand side within Scripts, you’ll see parameters that you can adjust (such as folder selection, text inputs and dropdown lists).

For the Folder parameter, navigate once more to the extracted JUXT OBS folder and select it.

Step 7: Adjust Scene Information

Once you have entered all the necessary information in the script parameters, you may want to change which screen is being displayed. To do this:

1. Navigate to the Screen scene (Ctrl + 4).

2. Scroll down the list of sources until you find the "Record Screen" for your operating system.

3. Double-click it to adjust the screen/display you want to record.

If you find that NONE of these screens are interactable within your OBS, you may need to add a new screen capturing source. If not, skip this section. To do this:

1. Click the + button in the Sources panel.

2. Select the Screen Capture option.

3. Name the source and click OK.

4. A pop-up will appear, select the screen you want to capture and click OK.

5. Depending on your screen size/resolution, you may see your screen being too large to fit in the scene. Since you should have the screen source still selected, press Ctrl + S to resize the screen to fit the scene.

6. At the bottom of sources, you’ll see arrows to move the source up and down. Press repeatedly on the down arrow until the newly created screen source is at the bottom of the list.

7. Right-click the the newly created screen source and select Copy. Then navigate to the Both scene, right-click and select Paste (Reference) - this can also all be done using keyboard commands for copy & paste.

8. Finally, refer to Part 6 to ensure that the pasted screen source is at the bottom of the list in the Both scene.

Step 8: Customize Hotkeys

To customise any hotkeys used in OBS:

1. Go to Settings in the bottom-right corner.

2. Select the Hotkeys tab from the menu on the left.

3. Adjust hotkeys as needed.

The scene collection comes with pre-configured hotkeys for each scene, which you can use while tabbed out of OBS to swap between scenes.

Step 9: Audio Mixer Configuration

The OBS audio mixer should automatically use your default system devices. However, if you need to use a different microphone:

1. Select the Audio Input Source in sources.

2. Adjust the microphone input accordingly.

In the Audio Mixer panel, you can adjust the volume of each source as needed.

Note	Your microphone and computer audio will NOT be recorded when you are using the Intro and Outro scenes.

Starting Your Recording or Stream

To begin streaming or recording, use the Start Streaming or Start Recording buttons located on the far right in the Controls panel. These can also be assigned to hotkeys.
