A clean OBS setup for going live as your avatar

Add Guisera to OBS as a Browser Source, size it correctly, and avoid the two mistakes that cost people their first stream.

OBS is where most people put their avatar to work. The setup takes about two minutes and, once it is right, it stays right.

Add it as a Browser Source

Start a session in the desktop app, copy the Browser Source address it gives you, and paste that into a new Browser Source in OBS. Set the width and height to 1280 × 720 to match the output.

That address contains a stream key unique to your machine. Treat it like a password: do not share it, and do not leave it visible in a screenshot.

Two mistakes worth avoiding

  • Resizing the source instead of setting its dimensions. Stretching the box rescales the picture twice. Set the real size and let OBS place it.
  • Leaving the session running after the stream. Credits are billed by the minute while a session is live. Stop the session, not just the stream.

Check it before you go live

The app has a preview address alongside the output one, with a frame counter. If the number is steady, the picture reaching OBS is steady.
