We start by installing OBS from the Bazzite Bazaar Store, then configuring it for H.265 / HEVC streaming with AMD hardware acceleration. I’ll also show you how to connect your iPhone via DroidCam OBS over USB-C for a reliable, low-latency camera feed.
You’ll see the entire process:
• Installing and launching OBS in desktop mode.
• Adding screen capture for gameplay recording.
• Setting up DroidCam OBS on iPhone and Linux.
• Configuring picture-in-picture layout.
• Switching to wired internet for stable streaming.
• Logging into YouTube directly from OBS to go live.
• Managing and ending a live broadcast.
This setup is ideal for gamers, content creators, and streamers looking for a budget-friendly way to stream in ultra-high quality.
