Tips

  • Size the widget appropriately — Make sure the video is visible but doesn't dominate your overlay
  • Consider audio — YouTube audio will play through OBS, potentially competing with your stream audio
  • Test before going live — Verify the video loads and plays correctly in your OBS browser source
