To do so, open OBS and <strong>create a scene<\/strong>&nbsp;by clicking on + in the bottom left-hand corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In each scene you can add sources, this is where you can add video, images and of course your radio stream:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Go to <strong>Sources<\/strong> and click on <strong>+&nbsp;<\/strong>&gt;<strong> VLC Video Source<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose <strong>Create New<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In <strong>Playlist<\/strong> click <strong>+<\/strong>&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp;<strong>Add Path\/URL<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paste the listening link of your station (found under the <a href=\"https:\/\/manager.radioking.com\/radio\/0\/widgets\/listening_links\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Share<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>tab<\/strong><\/a> of your Radio Manager)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have added your listening link, you can take care of what your listeners will see.
