How to add text in OBS Studio
We cover three essential methods, from adding a simple text source to the advanced technique of using nested scenes (broadcast overlays). This allows you to update text in one location and have it change instantly across all your scenes.
To add text in OBS on a Mac, open OBS, select a scene, then in the Sources panel, click the plus (+) button and choose Text (FreeType 2) from the list. For Windows Computers choose Text (GDI+).
Plus, we'll share a crucial tip on making your text accessible and "legally compliant" for the future, and show you how to globally trigger your text overlays in any scene using the Downstream Keyer plugin and a Stream Deck.
