How to Use a Hotkey to change the game on twitch while streaming
Let's start with the easiest way to switch games on Twitch: The Hotkeys! Using these "HotKeys" you can quickly change from one game to another. To set them up go into OBS and click settings -> Hotkey Manager.- On the Hotkey Manager, click "Add" and set up a hotkey to change your game on twitch. Make sure this is far away from any other buttons you might use for OBS! I usually choose F12 as it's right next to my microphone which makes sense because if you need to switch games then it's probably because your stream went over to a game you didn't want.
How to Use an overlay
Now let's say you want to use an overlay on your screen for switching games while streaming? This can actually be a lot of fun and it makes it easy for viewers because they will know exactly what game is playing even if they missed the switch! You don't need any fancy graphics or expensive software, just download OBS (Open Broadcast Software) and follow the steps for making an overlay.- In OBS, click "Sources" -> "Add". Set up a new source as you normally would but make sure it is set to capture your webcam feed! Then go into filters on that same page and add one called "Image Mask."
- You can use this filter in order to have an image of your choice appear over the webcam feed. For example, I use a photo of "Mario" so that people can see what game is being played at all times even if they are not watching my Twitch channel.
