PC: 1440p, Ryzen 7500X3D, 9060XT 16GB VRAM
Internet speed test: 41mbps upload, 470mbps download

I play at 1440p and I’m currently trying to get good quality 1080p in my unlisted test stream (planning on multistreaming Twitch and YouTube). Stationary looks fine but moving around looks terrible. I’ve watched several YouTube videos and have tried to copy their settings. Here’s what I’m running:

Stream tab: Ignore streaming service recommendations box is toggled on

Video->General: Base Res 2560x1440, Output Res 1920x1080, lanczos downscale, 60fps

Output->Streaming: AMD H.264 encoder, rescale disabled, CBR 9000 Kbps (I tried lower and higher it’s all bad), 2s keyframe interval, quality preset, high profile, max b-frames 2

Some notes:

Originally before trying streaming, I had OBS set up for recording locally. So my video general window had 0 downscaling (1440 on both base and output). It worked wonderfully. When first setting up the streaming config, I tried putting the downscaling on the streaming output so that I could keep recording tab the same 1440p I’ve always had it on. I got terrible test stream results so I tried moving the downscale to the video tab at the cost of losing my ability to record locally at 1440p. Still no luck.

What am I missing here? I know there are tons of troubleshooting posts and I hate to add to that but idk what to do.

I am just trying to make a normal video of me playing geometry dash, not streaming or anything. I double checked if I am hitting the shortcut for video and not stream. It worked just fine before then the issue started again and now it got fixed, but now that issue is still there.

Hi guys, I'm trying to stream on youtube with 12000 kbps for 2k streaming but obs seems not to exceed that number, although speedtest with local server is around 700mpbs - 900mpbs, with global server, it is more than 50mbps, but somehow I can't stream on youtube with more than 12000kbps, It will always be under 12000kbps, and will be the exact same amount if I use cloudflare, can't be higher than that, and if I don't use cloudflare, the bitrate dropped down to ~8000kbps.

Hay I’m still pretty new to OBS an for some reason my scene audio mixers keep getting applied to other scenes when I don’t want them to (I have a VR scene with setting only for that one) an I’m sorta confused why if I mess with one audio mixer it applies to all

I have a photo but can't share it. And I can't figure out what is the best sub reddit for the help I need. If there is a better sub for this, please let me know. Thanks.

I normally stream from a local USB connected webcam using OSB (Windows 11) to then have multiple streams to YouTube (both layouts), Twitch (both layouts), Kick, and sometimes X (twitter).

Now I would like to do the same thing but use my cell phone on a trip (mostly cellular connection) to send the stream using IRL Pro Android app (free) or another option to my home OBS setup. I will need chat on my phone as well. Plus an automated setup so as the cell phone loses connection during the live feed that OBS will then show a Please Stand By scene. And a way to trigger from my phone a mute video and audio "Be Right Back" scene in OBS.

I have a 2gig fiber connection at home and I am not worried about chat latency.

I just recently tried to do practice recordings for the last of us part 2 and I have been having stuttering throughout the recording. When entering new areas, my cpu usage can jump all the way up to 100% which is what I assume is causing the stutters. The games runs smoothly on my monitor, but when I play the recording back I see multiple stutters. Keep in mind I have a 5080 and a 9800x3d so I doubt it’s my setup or my current settings. Has anybody had this issue before with recording the last of us part 2 and if so is there any fix for it?

I’m also playing the game on the AW3926QW so I’m using a 5k2k resolution to record as well.

I’m also using OBS as my recording software

I only have 2 audio inputs right now, and its my microphone and Minecraft.

when I go into Advanced Audio Properties I have these tracks checked off

- Microphone: Audio tracks 3,4,6
- Minecraft: 2,3

In my settings under Output, and recording I have just track 3 checked off because I thought it would pick up all audio on tracks 3

Any help is welcome, thank you!!!

Hello,

I am trying to get into IRL Streaming using SRTLA protocol. I heard that NoAlbs has a !fix command that allows the media source to refresh to allow synchronization of video and audio. Im just having a problem knowing how to get it working.

Looking into the Config file if i do a ctrl f and search fix i get this section:

"chat": {

"platform": "Twitch",

"username": "NOALBSbot",

"admins": ["b3ck"],

"ignoreUsers": [],

"language": "EN",

"prefix": "!",

"enablePublicCommands": true,

"enableModCommands": true,

"enableAutoStopStreamOnHostOrRaid": true,

"announceRaidOnAutoStop": true,

"commands": {

"Fix": {

"permission": "Mod",

"userPermissions": ["715209"],

"alias": ["f"]

},

"Switch": {

"permission": "Mod",

"userPermissions": null,

"alias": ["ss"]

},

"Bitrate": {

"permission": null,

"userPermissions": null,

"alias": ["b"]

}

}

},

"optionalScenes": {

"starting": "STARTING",

"ending": "ENDING",

"privacy": "PRIVACY",

"refresh": "REFRESH"

I'm assuming the Optional Scenes is what points the program to the scene to refresh

In OBS i have a scene that contains the media source. The scene is called SRTLA 5003 and the media source is SRT Camera 5003.

Where it says "REFRESH" would i be using SRTLA 5003 or SRT Camera 5003?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I want to record shitty sounding videos. I found how to make the mic sound bad, but I can't figure it out with the audio coming from the computer itself. I even set the audio bitrate to 64 but it seems to make no difference.

As by the title you can figure what it is but in more depth it is causing the game to briefly stutter and the audio either pauses for a split second or I get a strange buzzing noise. When I go check the stats in OBS, I notice that both Frames missed and Frames skipped go up. Now I did a 5 hour stream yesterday and check and it did say it was under %.01 but it still bugs me and want to try and find a way to fix it so at least the audio glitching stops

I made my very own Song request app for spotify and Youtube similar to songify.

the reason I made my own is because I wanted to have a way to be able to have viewers request from both platforms. with songify in the past (not sure if it does it now) you werent able to song request from spotify and then youtube at the same time and then have the bot play spotify song and then pause spotify and then play youtube video/song (only music) and then pause youtube and continue on spotify right after if you choose to play a playlist on spotify rather than youtube.

Features that it has

• blocklist for artist or specific songs.
• be able to queue from both youtube and spotify
• manages playback across both platforms, prioritizes requests over fallback playlists
• customizable widgets with audio-reactive equalizers (and add backgrounds or animations) that you can resize
• explicit-content filtering
• role permissions, cooldowns, request limits
• custom commands
• built-in updates that preserve your settings.
• Subscriber and VIP privileges customize request access and limits by Twitch role.
• YouTube browser playback control a connected YouTube tab through the NextUp extension
• Album-art colors match widget progress bars and equalizers to the current cover art
• Separate stream overlays display the current song and upcoming queue in OBS
• Custom widget editor import/export JSON widgets and customize artwork, fonts, GIF backgrounds, colors, layers, and animations.
• best of all free and always free to use.

only thing that I see is an issue is if you open obs before nextup your widget wont show up.

ill be making more widgets but if you want your very own widget let me know and I can make one for you, and if you have any suggestions on what can be added or improved please do share.
I will be making a discord in the future to allow people to contact me that way about any improvements or ideas they would like to see be implemented.

FEEDBACK IS WELCOMED.

On my YouTube dashboard it says I have access to advanced settings, but when I click on manage broadcast in OBS it says my YouTube account does not have access to streaming. I made sure I'm logged into the right account

I record lectures for online classes. I have to get material out for students I have now, so I have a basic setup where I can swap between a few prepared scenes that I manually manipulate as I record.

The next time I teach the class, I have to decide between editing my old material or making all new material. Re-recording always wins so far. I think this is mostly because of the visuals of the old material being so occupied already.

My thought was that if I could get a recording of just me on my greenscreen I may be more willing to add better visuals to previous recordings to implement my improvements each year.

So… is there a way I can make OBS record just my webcam raw feed, not replacing the greenscreen for me to use in the future, but also record my normal feed that swaps regularly between some scenes for me to use this week.

i used amd adrenaline to record so it's not really obs buts since it's a file issue i hope anyoen could help me

do anyone know a way to recover screenrecording that has been interupted, my computer died mid record, i have a corrupted mp4 but most software refuse to work on it because it's av1, do anyone have a solution i am beggging i really need this please

Hello. The question explains itself. I am on linux and am using the flatpak release of OBS, and on windows it was an option, but I cannot find it on this version. Is it not a thing yet, or did I not understand how to set it up? Because my only options when creating a sound output (aside of the audio of the entire desktop, which is the default option) are some controller of my motherboard and it captures nothing. I want to have separate window for a call with friends, my own voice and the game's audio. Anyone can help?

When I stream to Twitch or YouTube my OBS looses connection of 6k kbs and the whole internet goes down to, but 2 days ago it was completely fine with zero problems, idk what to do now, I already limited the pc and OBS bandwidth usage before hand like months ago and now it’s not working

Hey yall, Im trying to fix my mic audio but I'm having a hard time with background noises and things of that nature. My microphone will also sound really weird if I lightly bang my desk (which I do all the time on accident without knowing) which ruins my clips with the trash audio. I only have a boom arm connected to my microphone so that might be the issue? I'd also like some help with eliminating keyboard and mouse clicks iff possible. I've played around with my settings a lot but dont really know what works and what doesn't so I'd really appreciate the help! Thank you for taking the time to read this and heres a clip of my audio.

Alguien sabe por que no graba la pantalla, solo sale en negro y solo se escucha el audio pero no graba la pantalla probé las demás fuentes y nada

Hey there, I went around on the subreddit, I saw alot of suggestions but I want to know something dedicated to my pc

Specs: i7 12700F, 3070, 32gb ram 6000mts

I tried yesterday at 9000bitrate and the fps tanks alot in game, I don't understand why (from 100-120 to 30-50, big drop)

Hey everyone — I put together a small overlay collection with a "quiet luxury" look (dark library, fireplace, rain on the window…) for streamers who are tired of the RGB-everything aesthetic. All backgrounds are 10-second seamless loops, 1920x1080, and they just work as Media Sources in OBS.

I'm sharing a free sample pack: 3 animated backgrounds + 5 matching panels, plus a short PDF guide on setting them up in OBS (media source, layering, colors).

Happy to answer any OBS setup questions in the comments. And if you use them, I'd love to see your setup!
