Hey everyone I need help on knowing How to be able to use my camera and record my face... while recording my screen on OBS and somehow put them both recordings together perfectly.... I have a video on my channel called "I need Help" since I can't post a link on this website..... but if anyone wants to check it out and see if they know my problem please do... I don't understand how to fix my problem and if anyone knows how to I would appreciate if you could show me the way.

EDIT I had to change my Threads into... since I can't put a video in here... and for some reason I can't edit this.. every-time I try to it says there is an error... or something... so what it says above is what I am really saying to yall.
 
Hello there. I am not the most experienced in these things, I did use OBS a while ago but it was not a good experience... What I may recommend for you is getting a good editing program like "sony vegas pro". Other than that search for some help videos on YouTube! You can find tons of helpful videos on the internet to help you with your problem, or answers on google.
 
So if you are using a webcam to record while recording a game you can use OBS to do so and you can move the your webcam preview to anywhere on the screen over your gameplay preview. At that point you can record both at the same time and you will have one video file to use in your editing software.
If you are using a camcorder as a facecam they you are going to have 2 video files to deal with in the editing software and you will have to do some syncing manually. Also if you are going to use this route I recommend that both of the video files are the same type (MP4).
I know in Adobe Premiere Pro you can put a video on top of another video and you can the resize and move around the video on top to anywhere.

If you are a student you can get the whole Adobe suite for $20 a month.

My advice for now, is use the webcam instead of the camcorder in OBS because that is a lot easier to do than have to deal with multiple video files and manual syncing, and save up until you can afford a good webcam.

Another tip to make your cheap webcam look good, is good lighting. The more lighting you have the better quality of the camera.

Good Luck!

The only problem I have with using a webcam is I cannot move it anywhere when I start my recording...... If I start my recording and I get done.. and see that where I placed my webcam is covering up important details ... I won't be able to move it around like I do with my camcorder. Thats basically my only problem.. I can deal with multiple files... I'm very organized.. and I have already made videos with my camcorder.. it just wants to be difficult sometimes when I try to sync it up with my OBS recording...
 
Before recording you should be able to move the Webcam footage to anywhere in OBS preview screen so when you record the Webcam footage would be in the spot you selected.

Record the game and webcam as different scenes, and look up how to scale and overlay the webcam in your editing software
