6. Sync Audio and Visuals
Ensure your audio output (e.g., music player, microphone) is correctly configured in OBS to synchronize with the visualizer video.
Add an “Audio Input Capture“ source if necessary to capture your system audio or microphone.
7. Position and Resize the Visualizer Video
Drag and resize the media source within the OBS scene to fit your streaming layout. Position it where you want it to appear during your Twitch stream.

Once positioned and configured in OBS, click “OK“ or “Apply“ to save your settings.
Test your scene by starting a preview stream or going live on Twitch to ensure the music visualizer video appears and syncs with the audio as desired.
