How to use OBS Studio to live stream a multi-source production to Facebook Live

While single-camera streaming to Facebook Live can be accomplished with ease using Epiphan’s Webcaster X1 for Facebook Live device, there are those who’d like to stream to Facebook Live while also switching between more than one video source or camera.

It’s easy to stream a multi-source live production to Facebook Live using Epiphan’s powerful all-in-one live production switcher devices, Pearl and Pearl-2. However—some video content professionals do not require all the features that these versatile appliances offer, or perhaps instead prefer a lower-cost solution that fits within a budget. Luckily, an alternate solution is available in these cases.

This page guides you through the process of using popular live streaming platform OBS Studio (free to use) with Epiphan AV.io video grabbers to live stream a affordable multi-source setup to Facebook Live.
