Quick Import Overlays in OBS Studio

This process involves importing a selection of scenes that include overlays, decorations, screens, and creative ideas on utilizing various elements within this package. This guide provides instructions on importing your OBS scenes as a starting point. It is important to note that these scenes serve as a foundation and do not encompass all the components included in your stream package. Take the time to thoroughly review all the items and files provided in the google drive link so you can fully customize your scenes!

Step 1

Download the Scene Collection Import Files

Begin by downloading the scene collection import files from Google Drive. These files are contained within a zip file named "OBS-Import-Scenes.zip." Extract the contents of the zip file, which should include a JSON file and a folder containing all the necessary items for the import. It is important to choose a location on your computer where these files will remain permanently. Also, make sure to install any fonts your package may have come with.

Open OBS Studio on your computer. This can usually be done by locating the application in your program list or by double-clicking on the desktop shortcut.
