So there is this issue in OBS that makes things SO infuriating, and it has to deal with Deltarune. Y'see for some bizarre, unexpected reason, when I launch Deltarune and try to record footage, OBS just shits itself and makes it so that way the display is just a png for lack of a better word. And what's even stranger is that this is ONLY a issue when I launch Deltarune. If I do literally ANY OTHER GAME, it works like normal and is completely fine. I've tried game capture, I've tried relaunching window capture, I've opening a different sense, I've tried looking it up, I've even tried resetting my computer, and I've even tried running OBS as an administrighter. And still, NOTHING. So please, if ANYONE knows of a solution, lemme know. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So I have a MacBook Air M3, and every time I stream a screen capture it freezes. Could be after a couple of seconds or after a couple of minutes. Every time it freezes, I have to manually go to the screen capture and click "restart capture," and it comes back to normal. I have to do that a lot of times. On my MacBook, it is very smooth. The issue is only on OBS itself. I have tried googling this issue and also searching it up with ChatGPT, and nothing works. I am using macOS Sequoia 15.4.1. I do not want to update to macOS Tahoe because I do not like liquid glass. This does not happen with audio. Only with screen capture. Also, my DSLR is freezing, but I believe that has nothing to do with the issue I am discussing right now. I have streamed the same on my Windows gaming laptop, and I do not have this issue at all. I believe it is only on OBS on Mac. This is super annoying because if I am watching YouTube, for example, with my chat, it freezes, and they can't see. Also, this happens whether I have my MacBook connected to my monitor or not.

Ive gotten it to where my recorded videos are perfect. Trying to make streams be the same or close. But, when I upload my videos to youtube the compression kills it. Anyone have suggestions on what I could do?

We have next to nothing to start with right now so PC versus MAC or Apple versus Android.

My friend records lives on his cell phone and it's an old ass phone. I want to get him connected to multiple platforms and I've used OBS before so it makes sense to use it I think.

He is clueless with technology, I would like him to be able to edit clips as well, he's currently on an iPhone, would it make sense to get a newer iPhone or an Android or is there any UPS or Downs between that? I'd be wanting to send the phone into obs on the computer. Here again, do I get him a Macintosh computer or a pc?

I know Mac comes with free video editing software but then there's also DaVinci? I just need some guidance.

I’m trying to build a multicam streaming setup with two DJI Osmo Pocket 3 cameras on an M2 Mac mini running OBS.

Here’s what I’ve tested so far:

- One Pocket 3 connected directly to the Mac = works perfectly.
- Two Pocket 3s connected directly to separate
- Thunderbolt/USB-C ports = also works perfectly (no lag or quality issues).

My problem is that one of those Thunderbolt ports is normally occupied by my Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface.

I tried using a GoStream as a workaround, but it introduces noticeable latency and lower image quality.

I also tried my current USB-C hub, but it’s not stable enough for this workload.

My goal is to run:

- 2× DJI Osmo Pocket 3 cameras (webcam mode)
- Apollo Twin
- OBS
- Dual monitors

Has anyone actually achieved this reliably?

If so:

- What dock or Thunderbolt dock are you using?
- Is your Apollo connected directly or through the dock?
-Are both Pocket 3 cameras connected to the dock, or is one connected directly to the Mac?

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s running a similar setup before I spend more money on another dock

i want to be able to switch between different settings for reaction streaming and work meeting.

for my reaction streaming i want to have my webcam and my window captured with my window being shrinked

and for my work meeting i want to only capture my window in full screen

how do i do this? i tried creating 2 profile but they both keep having the same settings

i need help

I'm trying to stream while also recording my gameplay with a single PC setup. So ideally, in the least hardware demanding way possible. I found this plugin called "Source Record" and I generally have it set up to where it works perfectly, but there is one caveat.

My setup currently has 2 Source Records (which are the only 2 files I need to record):

• Gameplay

• Camera

But unfortunately, OBS will first record my entire stream screen locally, creating 3 files rather than 2. The native OBS recording is unfortunately taking up resources for basically no reason as it is not needed.

Has anyone had the same setup and found a workaround? I am struggling to find anyone who's experiencing the same problem.

Thank you!

Hey guys, pretty new to sound settings and understanding how all this works, but trying to make sure my game sound is good and steady, but also speaking in my mic with the gameplay works well with it too. Anyone have a good rule of thumb or general level setting with dB levels for game sound and mic sound together? Right now I'm using -20 dB for game and -6 for mic. For reference I'm using a wave 3 elgato mic.

Hi, I hope you can help me with this problem. Basically, ever since I bought a microphone for my PC for the first time, I’ve been hearing that strange sound. My friends have to tell me to just type in the chat, because that sound gives them a headache after a while. I thought it was a problem with the microphone, but when I bought another one (a more expensive one, to, as I thought, prevent that from happening again), that sound came back. No matter how many microphones I use, that sound is always there. I tried several microphones I had lying around, and the same sound persisted. I’ve looked everywhere, and nothing works. I’d appreciate any help.

Here's how it sounds:

hi!

is there any color correction plugin that can handle highlights / shadows?
or am I left with using LUTs only?

or a bit crazy one: any way to "insert" Davinci as a video filter, or use it before the signal enters OBS?

how do you deal with adjusting the color?

- -

would be lovely to have Log video adjusted to the liking before streaming without using LUTs (not adjustable on the fly)

this is to achieve in camera Log recording at the same time as streaming

I've used OBS for a long time, but only now I've recently noticed a problem. After recording, I noticed that the sounds from behind are almost getting muted, even though at the time of recording I heard everything just fine. Never happened to me before, so tried to fix it through windows settings, game settings and OBS settings, but to no avail.

Apparently, the desktop audio channel works just fine. Game capture is the one that mutes the sounds from behind me as if it had different surround settings. I've always used game capture audio for recordings and I've never noticed this problem. Is there a way to fix it or is the only option to switch to desktop audio?

I don't have a 1440p monitor. I record in 1080p with a 5060ti but my recordings still don't look great. The res seems low even though the metadata of the file says 1080p it doesn't look like it. And the frames look a little less than 60 but maybe I'm wrong on that. Would it be worth to record in 1440p and downscale to 1080p?

Started using OBS because adrenalin sucks and i've set it up properly after watching countless videos and it worked fine, i press a key and the video gets saved. Even after setting up smart replay mover it worked flawlessly.

But recently obs stopped capturing video after pressing the hotkey until i tabbed into a different program which would then save the video to desktop which is a gamble because sometimes it doesn't save at all.

I don't really know what to do anymore, i have "never disable hotkeys" enabled and haven't changed any settings from back when it worked

Need help using one to get my vr I figured out how to cast but need to figure out how to get the audio and mic in there into my stream can anyone help. I’m new and a little slow due to a car accident when I was younger so plz be like exact if u can cause I will need step by step instructions

How can I fix this? Idk what info i need to share in here. Currently only streaming to twitch and youtube. Im new to this so bear with my lack of intelligence on the subject please. Im still learning. Im using an elgato capture card.

Right now I have a couple of sources that are like brb, starting soon, and a gameplay one. Idk if theres a setting ive neglected or what but its do about a 1 second delay over stream

Hello all,

I have been running into an issue recently where when I stream and record I get an"encoder overload error".

Things I have tried:

Updating drivers for GPU

Updating OBS

Decreasing Bitrate

Changing encoder (CBR, CQP, VBR, etc)

Changing video encoder (between Nvidia H 264 and HVEC)

Setup:

RTX 5070ti

R9 5950x

32 GB DDR4 Ram

2 instances of OBS:

• Recoding OBS at 5120x1440 (to be able to record facecam and gameplay seperate)
• Streaming OBS at 1920x1080

This is a dedicated streaming PC so the games I am playing are not taking a hit

Any ideas on how to fix this?

At the moment, I'm trying to do:

obs_websocket.send_command("SetInputSettings", { "inputName" : "Video Source Name", "inputSettings" : { "playlist" : ["video1.mp4", "video2.mp4", etc] } })

but that doesn't seem to work. I was able to set a regular media source via:

obs_websocket.send_command("SetInputSettings", { "inputName" : afk_videos_source_name, "inputSettings" : { "local_file" : "video.mp4" } })

but I want to set up a playlist dynamically, now.

I'm trying to find a ticker that will allow me to display earthquake activity. But not sure where to get a ticker that just updates itself based on website info. I dont want to have to enter info into the app myself.
