I have been thinking to stream my study sessions on YouTube and want to post videos of my thoughts and thinking too.

I like the way @emmytcnr share her thoughts in a very concise and simple way, nothing fancy or flashy just thoughts.

This way I can also share my thoughts, keep track of my growth, practice English and more.

There is one thing I’ve to keep in mind that this should be solely to improve myself not to indulge into it. Keep the videos raw and straight forward so that I don’t spend more time on editing (maybe you can outsource the editing part).

Testing OBS Studio

I have installed OBS Studio software to stream and record with my MacBook Air M1 laptop. There are couple of settings I have to focus to record videos and following is the best setting I’ve got:

• Input Video Resolution: 3310x2210 (16:10)
• Output Video Resolution: 3310x1890 (16:9)
• Video Encoder: Apple H.264 Hardware
• Bitrate: ~8k-12k for Streaming and ~15k-25k for Recording
• Audio: 320 Bitrate and 48kHz Frequency

YouTube recommend the final video resolution should be of 16:9 but my laptop is of 16:10, that’s why I have modified the Output Video Resolution.

Something to Learn with Code

I can also learn some topics to automate the Thumbnail creation not with AI instead with presets or templates. I can also explore the field of Instrumental music generation from AI and code.

Live Streaming

I’ll use live streaming to learn something with focus and determination as I’ll be live it will force me to be on track.

One thing, I need to keep in mind while live streaming is that to not share any private information. I might need to restrict the streaming to a certain application windows like Coding Editor, Terminal, Browser like that.
