Hello there!

I have starlink, so my upload speeds can fluctuate a lot.

The minimum that I have seen my upload speed be, is 16mbps, and the maximum is upwards of 30mbps. The average is somewhere in between that. (I've been tracking it at different times of day via Ookla speed test)

I want to stream in 1080p @60FPS to YouTube. My video encoder is currently AMD HW H.264 (AVC)

I play fast-paced games (like FPS), and I used to stream at 6000kbps, but I realized that was too slow, as the quality of the stream was low.

YouTube recommends streaming at 12k kbps for my setup. But people also say to give yourself +50% headroom.

So my question is, do you think it would be okay to stream at 12k kbps for me?

Or do you think I should try 10k Kbps or something first.

I just don't want it to look pixelated/blurry if 10k is too low.

Hello! So I’m building a completely free and open source streaming app, with alerts and multi streaming and 4k recording and 1080p streaming and many other features, I got some feedback or suggestions from people and I like them, this will be written in c++ and qt with qml, if you want to give me some suggestions feel free to do that!!
Also if you want to come watch me live, my YouTube is nigoat123 ! I’m streaming right now!

I don't know what causes it, whether my headphones (which my mic is connected to) or the cord for them or something is damaged after having them for a few years, but there is a notable buzz when I record in OBS.

I managed to get my microphone to pick up my voice fine, but it's just that buzz. I could probably just deal with it, it's not a big deal, but if there is any way to stop the buzzing from being picked up I'd like to know about it because when it comes to putting filters and stuff on things I have no idea what I'm doing. I just put some random stuff just to make the microphone sound ok but the buzzing is there so idk what I would need to do to get rid of that.

I do have them plugged in to an msi laptop, if that is any help.

I got a capture card with both a USB and HDMI output (passthrough I believe it’s called?) and I only just realized that the output is meant for a second monitor and only the USB is meant for that. The problem is I only have one monitor and I don’t have an HDMI splitter thingy. Is there a way to do this without buying any other equipment? I don’t need to see OBS at all times, just needs to be running in the background.

Hi guys, greetings from Chile!

I was needing to record isolated a source on my obs, so I installed the source recorder in my obs (plugin) well the thing is that video goes smooth but audio gets choppy, I've checked nitrates are the same as main recording, same encoding but no clues ..

Any guesses on what I'm doing wrong?

If you need more details in how or what I'm doing just ask plz!

I just started a YouTube channel a few days ago and I’ve been using OBS to just record my gameplay from my laptop, but my laptop isn’t exactly a “gaming” laptop, so I’m looking at capture cards so that I can record Xbox/PlayStation gameplay. I have current-gen consoles and a 4K TV, so I was wondering what capture cards would work best for what I’m trying to do. I’m not exactly trying to break the bank here, but I would just like something that works well and looks decent, so any suggestions are much appreciated!

Hello all.

I just setup my Twitch channel and was ready to broadcast Rayman 2 through the GOG Galaxy. It was an epic fail. I couldn't transition properly to the in-game as my mouse cursor disappeared. Everytime I start the application through the GOG Galaxy, the cursor is gone and I can't transition.

• What happened - The stream was on Twitch and the music for Rayman 2 played in the background. The mouse didn't appear, and any option to transition was disabled.
• My Setup - I have an ASUS Vivobook with a DELL HDMI Monitor (U2414H) connected as the second screen. Everytime I play Rayman 2, the game would immediately open on my laptop instead of the monitor.
• My failed solutions - So initially, I rolled with it, moving OBS and GOG Galaxy to the Dell Monitor. But again, the mouse cursor disappears and appears disabled. I barely switched and again can't select the option to transition to Start/Stop streaming because the mouse is disabled whilst Rayman 2 is running.
• Common Online solutions don't work - I looked at the common solutions like, "Enable Capture Cursor", "Capture Specific Windows", "DXGI Desktop Application" and "Windows 10 and up", and NOTHING!

Please help! I gotta get this ready for my schedule soon! Thank you!

I always record but I've been thinking about streaming at the same time . Worried it will cause issues

As the title states, im using OBS to floor project data and other cool game items onto my hitting mat via overhead projection during gameplay. Issue I am having is specific to GSPro/Uneekor software and game capture. I’m trying to capture the impact playback that Uneekor displays, but when trying to capture it in OBS, the Uneekor window displays blank with no video or data. Been using OBS for about 6 months and have tons of scenes created, but this scenario has never worked. Any ideas?

Been streaming for a while and always got annoyed having to alt-tab to OBS just to switch scenes or check my mic levels mid-stream. So I built a little app for myself that connects straight to OBS from my phone (no extra desktop server running, just plugs into OBS's built-in websocket).

Ended up polishing it enough to put on the Play Store — OBSock. You can build your own control decks, toggle sources, check stream stats, all that. Free tier works fine if you just want to poke around, no subscription nonsense either.

Would love if a few of you tried it and told me what's missing, still very early days: com.isalab.obsock

hello everyone. can i capture specific windows in shadowplay(or nvidia app) while recording like obs does? for example i want to capture a game and when i minimize it and switch between apps i want it to show a photo that i choose(or just blackscreen or something like that)

I dont like the feature that blocks desktop capture. i just want it to work like it does in obs. but for me recording via obs looks quite inconvenient.

thanks

Hi,

I am trying to record my gameplay (mostly truck simulator) in OBS studio. But no matter what my recording isn't looking good or high quality. What is the best settings in OBS for this?

Thanks in advance.

So I get a lot of contradictory information on how to set up my streaming PC on obs. I guess encoder settings is the main point I'm a little lost.

What I have is ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI RNUC14LNKU7094H2

So this is strictly for obs and not gaming.

Should I encode with the graphics card? Intel arc 140v?

Or should I use the processor?

Intel Core Ultra 7 258V

I'm trying to setup so I can play bass on stream. However, I'm stuck about software. I tried audacity & Amplitube, however there is latency there. Does anyone have any suggestions for software with very low latency?

I wanna stream using my Lenovo g500 with a i3 and 8gb ram but I want to stream on the laptop and play on my ps5 but stream what im playing. how can I do that i already have a capture card and whatnot i just need help setting it up for all of the streaming and better picture for my second monitor that I will be using for my console view. Any help is appreciated.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
