HOW to SETUP WHEEL SPINNER in OBS

A wheel spinner is an online program that allows you to create a wheel similar to Wheel of Fortune and use it to make decisions and includes viewer interaction in streams and videos.

A spinner is a knockoff hub nut or center cap used on automobile wheels.

They may be actual or intended to simulate the design used on antique vehicles or vintage sports cars.

In contemporary usage, a "spinner wheel" is a hubcap or inner wheel ornament that spins independently inside the wheel itself while the vehicle is in motion and continues to spin after it has come to a stop.

What You Need:

OBS should be configured with "Browser Source"
Checking for this is easy.

Once you open up OBS down at the bottom there will be your “Sources”.

To verify that you have the Browser Source plugin installed, go to Add a New Source and if one of the options says "Browser Source",

you're good to go and can skip to Step 2. Read Step 1 if you haven't already.

OBS Browser Source

Download OBS Studio from online websits and follow the setup instructions, making sure that "Browser Source" is selected during installation.

After this, you should be good to go.

It is possible to add up to 100 different choices, change the wheel title, as well as select the color scheme.

When you have the wheel configured the way you want it, click "Apply Changes" right below the Edit options.

Thus, the URL bar for your now edited wheel will have changed from what it originally was.

Select "Browser Source" in the sources section.

Whatever you name it, make sure you'll recognize it.

Then paste the URL into the URL bar in OBS (should default to the OBS website).

In the "Height and Weight" fields, you can increase or decrease the numbers to adjust the window size to your preferences.

This wheel works, how does it work?

A number picker wheel is used for this.

Both wheels work equally well. It's a random number generator wheel.

The picker wheel assists in spinning the wheel with our strength so that it will then give a random answer.

Creating the algorithm that gives the response is a very specialized process.

A tool like this can be made as a game and can be played or programmed in various ways.

Using numbers or alphabets, this kicker wheel can spin.

In addition, it can be divided into sections where you want Yes or No answers.

When you are unable to make a decision, this wheel can be attracted to help you make a decision.

One way to utilize this wheel could be to teach several courses regarding alphabets and numbers in a fun way.
