Downstream bandwidth for the feeds you subscribe to — roughly 4-6 Mbps per 1080p participant. Standard accounts are typically capped around 30 Mbps incoming; Enhanced Media / HBM raises that to roughly 100 Mbps.

Install

Close OBS Studio.
Run the installer and point it at your OBS installation directory if it is not detected automatically.
Start OBS and open Docks -> CoreVideo to sign in and join a meeting.
Add a CoreVideo source to any scene, then assign it to a participant, the active speaker, a spotlight slot, or the screen share.

The Core Plugin Guide walks through participant routing, isolated audio, and ISO recording in detail.
