# GUI screen sharing with OBS

> Share one application's interface cleanly with OBS — a focused screen-sharing scene for editing tools, grading, presentations and more.

This is a clean way to show a single application's interface live — your editor (Premiere, Resolve, Flame), a presentation (Keynote) or any other tool. The trick over plain screen sharing: you build a **screen-sharing scene in OBS that focuses on one application's window**, so everything else on your desktop stays hidden and your client sees only what you want them to — clearly framed, with the audio included.

<Note>
  These steps apply to **both** dfine.io products that livestream — Streaming Classic and Review. The encoder setup is the same; only where you copy your ingest URL and stream key differs by product. See [Where do I find the ingest server URL?](/en/where-do-i-find-the-ingest-server-url).
