Set up BoostLink as technician using OBS

We recommend using a proper Windows PC to set up the BoostLink event:

1. Sound settings

• Download a virtual audio device such as VB-Audio Virtual Cable or similar software in advance.
• Set virtual audio device as the default Input (Playback) & Output (Recording).

2. Join meetings

• Join your meeting from any third-party video conferencing platform such as your internal platform, MS Teams, Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, etc. As a technician, you should mute yourself and switch off your camera in the meeting.
• Join the BoostLink event as a moderator from BoostEvents Portal.

3. Set up OBS

• Download a screen capture software such as OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) in advance.
• Open OBS--> Add Sources--> Select "Window Capture"--> "OK".

• Choose to capture your meeting under "Window"--> deselect "Capture Cursor"--> "OK".

• Resize the window capture under "Preview "--> Click "Transition" --> the window under "Program" will be shown on the BoostEvents interface.

• Click "Start Virtual Camera" under "Controls"

• If you want to reselect a window to capture, right-click the "Window Capture--> Properties" under the Sources

4. Stream your meeting to the BoostEvents platform

• Click "Change camera" from Video/Audio settings on BoostEvents

• Once done check that the video feed in the top-right corner shows your meeting (i.e. the window capture on OBS)

• Start the BoostLink event on the BoostEvents platform
• Go back to your original meeting tab and enter full-screen mode (such as your internal platform, MS Teams, Zoom, Webex, or Google Meet).
• Test the OBS "Audio Mixer" bar by moving your volume slider.

• Your BoostLink event is all set!
