Connection setup

1. Let's start with OpenBroadcaster itself. After launching the application, we select the "Settings" option in the bottom right corner. A settings window will appear, where we select the "Stream" tab on the left side.
   
2. Being already in the "Stream" tab, we need to choose the right type of service. We switch the "Service" option to "Custom".
   
3. Now we need to copy our stream data. After creating the stream in the Cloud panel, on the "Summary" subpage, we will find all the necessary data to make the connection. We copy the URL, StreamKey, and after enabling authorization, also the Username and Password.
   
4. Now, simply confirm the changes by clicking the "OK" button, and in the main program window, you can start streaming by selecting the "Start Streaming" option. If everything is in order, a green square will light up in the bottom right corner.
