# OBS Setup
|
|
|
|
These are instructions on setting up OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) to record screen activity for creating the multimodal computer dataset.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the OBS Project website: [https://obsproject.com/](https://obsproject.com/).
|
|
2. Choose the appropriate installer for your operating system.
|
|
3.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Run the installer from your downloads folder and grant OBS the necessary permissions for installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Keep the default settings and proceed through the installation wizard by clicking "Next" and then "Finish."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. OBS should now be open. If not, search for and open the application.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Enabling OBS WebSocket Server
|
|
|
|
1. Click on "Tools" in the Navigation Bar within OBS, and then select "WebSocket Server Settings." A pop-up window will appear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Check the box next to "Enable WebSocket server" and uncheck the box next to "Enable Authentication." Click "Apply," then "Ok." You should return to the main OBS page.
|
|
Make sure the port is set to 4455.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Adding Display Capture and Recording
|
|
|
|
1. Now, back on the home page of OBS, select "Scene." Under "Sources," click the "+" button and then click "Display Capture." (in MacOS this is MacOS Screen Capture)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Select "Ok."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Make sure the "Display" is set to your main display, and you should see your screen on the canvas. Select "Ok." _(in MacOS if your screen is black with a red square in the top left try to disable then re-enable OBS Screen Recording permissions, this has worked before)_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Now you can close OBS and OBS will opened and controlled automatically when you launch the Computer Tracker App. Also, the Computer Tracker app creates a new OBS profile so you don't have to worry about your previous settings being messed up.
