    The API keys are obviously trickier and I'm only going to explain the process for YouTube here, because I no longer stream on Twitch and you see what happens when devs don't document their projects very well?

    Anyway, you create a new project at console.cloud.google.com, add the Google account you use for YouTube as a tester and set up OAuth access, which should give you two strings, a client ID and a secret.

    Now, depending on how you're going to compile OBS from source (yes, of couse you have to), CMakePresets.json might be a good place to enter this information. I did it in the PKGBUILD for the Arch AUR package obs-studio-liberty (pictured below), the respective hash values have to be set to zero.

    Screenshot showing part of a PKGBUILD file for Arch Linux. The relevant environmental variables are set as part of the options for cmake like so: -DYOUTUBE_CLIENTID="your client ID goes here" \ -DYOUTUBE_CLIENTID_HASH=0 \ -DYOUTUBE_SECRET="your secret goes here" \ -DYOUTUBE_SECRET_HASH=0 \ (I hope this did not sound confusing or upsetting for anyone relying on a screen reader.)
