I've added some initial thoughts. I'll add more over time.
| ### Wizard page 2 | ||
| - If the user selects scene template, show them different scene collections they could choose from | ||
| - The scene collections will have image previews as well | ||
| - If the user selects screen recording, ask them what monitor they want to record |

We'd have to be extra clear here for a couple reasons:
- When people say "my screen", sometimes they mean "Photoshop" or a game.
- On a laptop on Windows, "choosing a monitor" will result in no input, causing confusion (until the GPU is toggled)
| ### Wizard page 3 | ||
| - Have the user select their microphone and webcam | ||
| - The webcam would have a preview | ||
| - The microphone would also show a volume meter |

I'd personally vote that this should be where we include other basic things like choosing default microphone filters (ideally, at least, a noise suppression filter & a compressor). We should also make it super clear to the user if their mic is peaking.
Speaking of peaking, I wonder if it'd be possible to determine what a device's system volume is in dB. Windows does have the UI for it, and being able to notify a user that their mic is "above the recommended range" (ie above 0dB).

One easy way to include the filters, is to have them in the scene template, which is just a scene collection.

| - Should it be a seperate wizard than the auto-config? Or combined into a single wizard? |

I think a combined wizard would be preferred, and steps should be clearly skippable. We don't want to overwhelm the user, and spamming them with new popups after each "mini-wizard" is complete would not be a good experience.
| The user will also be able to open the wizard in the scene collection menu. | ||

| - Buttons that allow the user to select how they want to use OBS |

I think stylised buttons would be good - big icon, short text. Make it SUPER user-friendly - this'll be their first interaction with the program.
|
One thing that would need to be implemented to make this work properly, is a containerized scene collection file. This way, image files, etc. can be added to the template and loaded seamlessly. |
I have the beginnings of an RFC for this started. |

Description

Users often find it difficult to set up OBS.
