In the spirit of POSSE, accessibility, and a general love of tinkering, when I started doing [[streaming]] I wanted to set things up to stream to peertube, youtube, twitch, and as many other places as I wanted. I had to setup three tools to do this, OBS, 


This was more of a chore then I thought it would be, So here is a quick rundown of how to setup OBS to I enjoy streaming to multiple places. 



I am going to assume you are using debian 10 or debian 11, but if you use ubuntu you should be able to follow the better written guides that I link to here.
