Live draw set-up guide

How the live draw goes from OBS on the streaming PC to the website, under a second behind. Everything here runs on Easy Big Wins' own Cloudflare account. Nothing depends on RaffleX except plain pieces on the site (a button and three pages), and those keep working however RaffleX changes.

How it fits together

Facebook does not get this stream by itself. OBS sends to one place. To be on Facebook at the same time you would need an OBS plugin for a second output - ask before setting that up.

1. OBS: install and import the scenes (once)

  1. Install OBS Studio (version 30 or newer) from obsproject.com.
  2. Download the scene file: Easy-Big-Wins-OBS.json.
  3. In OBS: Scene Collection → Import, pick the file, then Scene Collection → Easy Big Wins live draw. Your existing scenes are not touched.
  4. Settings → Video: Base (Canvas) and Output resolution 1920×1080, 30 FPS.
  5. Open the scene Camera (do not delete) and pick your webcam in its Webcam source.
  6. Open Draw window (do not delete): add a Window Capture (or Display Capture) of the random number generator or draw screen, then right-click it → Transform → Fit to screen.
  7. Open Game window (do not delete): launch a game from the controller first (it opens its own window called "Cash Climb — Easy Big Wins" or "Higher or Lower — Easy Big Wins"), then add a Window Capture of that browser window and Fit to screen. Launching the other game swaps the same window, so this is done once.

Each webcam can only be opened once, so the camera lives in its own scene and every other scene shows that scene. Never add a second copy of the webcam, or one of them goes black.

2. OBS: where to send the stream (once)

  1. In the controller, open the Set-up tab → OBS → OBS stream settings. It shows the Server and the Bearer Token (the stream key), each with a Copy button.
  2. In OBS: Settings → Stream, Service WHIP. Paste the Server and the Bearer Token. Apply.
  3. Settings → Output (Output Mode: Simple is fine): video bitrate about 4000 Kbps, audio 160.

The stream key is a password: never show it on stream or send it in a message. Anyone with it could send video to your website.

3. Every live draw

  1. Earlier in the day, in the controller's Set-up tab: Next live draw. Pick the competition's draw or type a time, then Save. The home page pill, the Live Draw page and the Starting Soon scene count down to it.
  2. In OBS, show 1 Starting Soon and press Start Streaming. The controller says "OBS is sending - lag-free" within a few seconds.
  3. In the controller, tap Off air - tap to go live. The home page pill turns to WE ARE LIVE (within about a minute), the Live Draw page plays the stream and the live chat opens - it is only open while you are live.
  4. Switch to 2 Live Draw and do the draw. From the controller: Start the draw (drum roll or computer sound until you press STOP, then the ta-daa and confetti), Shout out a winner (first name and initial only), Spotlight a competition, Message, Confetti, Gold coins.
  5. Host games: Host games → Launch in the controller, switch OBS to 3 Host Games, and press H in the game for its host controls.
  6. At the end: 5 Thanks for Watching, then in the controller tap LIVE - tap to go off air, then Stop Streaming in OBS.
