Let me help you create a lower third effect in OBS using Notepad as a text source. I'll break this down into simple steps:

  • First, create your text in Notepad:

  • Open Notepad

  • Type your lower third text

  • Save the file somewhere easy to find

  • Leave Notepad open if you want to update the text live

  • In OBS:

  • Click the + icon under Sources

  • Select "Text (GDI+)" as the source type

  • Name it something like "Lower Third Text"

  • Check "Read from file"

  • Click Browse and select your Notepad text file

  • Style your lower third:

  • Position the text in the lower portion of your screen

  • Adjust font, size, and color in the text properties

  • Consider adding a background box:

Add a new Color Source under your text

  • Make it slightly larger than your text

  • You can use partial transparency to make it look professional
