Coming from someone with cross-platform experience and technical writing skills similar to what I understand Cassandra is asking, I'd say a good start would be a tutorial on how to INSTALL the different flavors of OBS for each supported operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS). Make a pointer to the "install page," instruct that you can choose three (or more, sometimes a different version is required for an older OS, like Windows 7 and 10 might have different versions, or 10.15 being 64-bit only, maybe 10.14 down 10.6.8 would be supported for a 32-bit version, or "yes on Ubuntu of a particular version or later, but if you run Red Hat, you must have blah, blah"...) installer packages.
Then give instructions on each, even if it is "double-click the installer" (or invoke it from a command line like "this") and watch as people play with it and begin to make submissions of completed (or partially completed) presentations. If the software has some built-in Help System (I haven't looked), installation instruction may be all that's required. They are certainly a good start, if they don't already exist on the OBS download page (I haven't looked). Guidelines (as to length) or templates (like a themed border-slide that has the SotM 2020 logo, for example) are helpful things to add which promote consistency, but these are not absolutely required.
