shoutout to those of you with S Tier streams, but C Tier gameplay 🤝
first
Savage..lol love the content Pete!
😅
Thanks! That's me!
I feel personally attacked
The biggest issue with my stream is that.. it's my stream, I'm involved
Relatable 😂 the best of my stream are the people that come to hang out every now and then
@@Alanbug oh absolutely. I frankly can't understand how they put out with my dry humor, but God damnit our regulars are the freaking best
So relatable lol
Pro tip, you can set OBS to automatically launch in Admin mode by default. Just to make sure you never forget to do it 🙂
Thanks for that tip I forgot all about that
yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge brain
I have done that....but still, on occasion, I get a windows message saying OBS was blocked from accessing my graphics card
This was very helpful. Thank you!
Mate, stream is looking mint after watching this. Only just started watching you but I will def be tuning in regularly
This is exactly what I was looking for... amazing!
1:34 I come home after school and check your channel every day. I love you bro
Great vid!
you are the best man
i am a new streamer at twitch
choosing server at obs was the best for my ping issue while i was playing
thank you
good advice ty
Wow I am impressed I already knew all of these, I guess my programming background is coming in handy lol
Best video that i ever seen about twitch and Obs
This tutorial is very well researched, thanks!
Very Interesting!
Well DONE
Thanks for this did a hard reset and couldn't remember how to fix.
My biggest problem with streaming is how to perfectly balance all the audios (Mic Volume/Game audio/Music) so you can hear them all nicely.
Maybe the Streamlink software from #elgato is something for you?! Best, Rumora
Didn't expect to learn anything since I've been using OBS since 2016 but log file analyzer? Huge help, thank you!
thank you, i just started to stream and this was helpful, at a boy.
0:17 that was sooooo lovely, adding salt to the wound hahahaha
i have dropping frames every time i enable replay buffer. any thoughts?
dang, i already use and love epidemic but i wish i could get that sweet, sweet discount
What a legend
reasons, but that sticks out.
so if i get an eithernet then my screen won't blackout all the time? i used wifi and it didn't blackout until a few months ago and then it blacks out all the time and says that it's not significant to broadcast gameplay too.
Thank you for this information. I already use Epidemic Sound and love it.
Ive burning question my pc is on the low end but can just handle the likes of euro truck sim 2 but obs when looking at task manager obs runs very high no matter if im capturing pc or console ive a 650 power supply would me upping to say a 850 watt improve that
everytime i get my stream to stop lagging my game crashes in fps. any tips?
Does this work for streamlabs obs too
Thank you for these tips
Take notes people. This free information is rare nowadays as everyone's locking their info behind "skillshare" stuff
Never had an issue with my streaming system till recently. Halfway through my broadcast I'd look over to my obs and realise its frozen and disconnected from Twitch without me knowing. Think il run that analyser u mention and see whats going on.
That's the same problem I have
@@2010CDUB Resolved my issue by running OBS as Admin.
New merch tease???
Thank you thank you thank you! This video helped me fix a synching issue that has plagued my stream for over a year!!!
I always love your content.
You're simply the best
Hi, Do you know how to fix the delay stream? I've got the delay stream and I can't find it and not knowing how to fix it.
Yeah me too but I'm streaming from PS5 and I have a Microsoft surface so I don't really have a good set up and am having trouble trying to get the PS5 to run the stream through the surface and not natively through the PS5.i also have a laptop but it's not the best
may have to go another route.
Discount code not found
5:00 Edit based on the replies - HAGS may cause issues as it is a relatively new feature, it's also a big no no for VR streamers so if that's you, ignore me :)
Original - RE the GPU overloading, if you're a fellow Windows 11 user like myself and have a relatively modern GPU (probably about GTX 10** series and up), look into enabling Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS). It better allows Windows allocate GPU resources between applications so you won't end up with one application sucking all the GPU power (i.e the game you're playing) and leaving other applications (i.e OBS) without any to do what it needs to do. I've found games like Apex Legends, Super People and Warzone all completely ruin my system even with a 2080 Ti, so if you don't fancy fiddling with finding an FPS cap that works for each and every new game you play, enabling HAGS might be the "one fix to rule them all" that you're looking for
Additional Technical Note: This is a terrible idea if you do VR streaming
@@LithFox That's a good piece of advice, I did not know this 😩
Running as administrator does this automatically.
@@dotholo Running as admin automatically turns on HAGS?
@@Swindy No, it just gives OBS GPU 'scheduling priority' from what I understand - it basically gets enough GPU power to do what it needs to do before things that aren't ran as administrator.
1:30 this is hilarious this is why you're my favorite youtuber
What if you use Wi-Fi 6? It’s is almost as effective as using a Ethernet cable :)
Pertinent point to me around the 06:00 mark! My stream is heavily animation and effect orientated and I have (or had) hundreds of sources. I was getting GPU overload last week and after some digging realised that my over ambition on this front was my downfall! As you say, OBS is catering for all the sources whether they're visible or not.
I'm a StreamerBot user and I'm in the process of massively reducing the number of sources (typically WebM's and sound files) that I have in my various nested scenes by getting StreamerBot to change the source file of between 1 and 4 sources in OBS as and when they're actually needed by different queues of actions. Needless to say - although I'm only say around a third of the way through reconfiguring things, I'm already seeing the positive effects on my stream. Reduced CPU and GPU usage - and no crashes!
Also great point about browser sources. For rather daft reasons (I'm not a techy!), I'd previously had several browser sources in different scenes doing similar things like showing User images for banimations etc. Now, I just have one in a nested scene that others then go on to use = significant improvement in memory usage. When looking at OBS in task manager this was the first thing that stood out like a sore thumb with browsers clearly consuming memory when they weren't even visible in OBS
oh and the OBS Log Analyzer = God Send!! 😆
could you explain how you use StreamerBot? i'm afraid this problem will occur bc i'm also planning to have lots going on and i don't understand..
As a side note, you can alway check the box in OBS to unload whatever source/scene you are not using at the time.
@@JamesLundquist yep absolutely - ticking close files when inactive, unload images when not showing etc etc is top advice. Regardless. If you have say 100 potential sources that 'could' be shown in a scene, OBS has to cater for the fact that they could be shown. This is not the same as unloading them. Essentially, I'm on a weaker pc and by enormously reducing the complexity of my scene collection, I've greatly improved the efficacy of my OBS. I've actually finished now and after a few revisions I've cut down my number of effected sources from 442 to 6 (that's a couple of browser sources for user images, 2 media sources, 2 image sources). CPU usage when I stream has now plummeted to 15%, 25% max and to say it's running smoother is a serious understatement!!
When I stream on my backup account I get 0 dropped frames, then when I stream on my main account I get dropped frames the entire time.
Thank you Mike! I'm just starting out and tNice tutorials video really helped get the basics down!
Question... i have the logitec c920 and it will freeze my camera and then i have to unplug the usb and replug. Is this common with this camera or is there a different issue im not aware of?
This generally tends to happen to me when the USB bus is overloaded or the camera doesn't get enough power. Make sure the camera is connected directly to the USB ports of the computer, or if you are using a USB extension hub, make sure the hub is a powered hub
I got 10000+ Kbps for the bandwidth so do I do 8000?
no stick to the 6000 bitrate twitch doesnt do anything above 6000 unless you are partnered and then they allow you to stream in 4k so if you are affiliate or lower best bet is to stick to 6000 bitrate
except your gameplay, ouch, that hurt! :)
Love all your tutorials, they have helped me a lot when switching over to OBS from my other streaming software. I do have one weird question though, if you don't mind...
Running a Sony a6400 w/ camlink, it looks fine when it's full screen, but when I downsize it for my gaming screen it looks jagged (as though it needs antialiasing). I have attempted to Google the heck out of this, but no real luck.
Even if you can't help, I want to say thanks for all that you do in teaching us noobs how to better use OBS!
Right click on the A6400 source, go to scale filtering and play with the modes. I have mine set to disabled but some of the others might look better for you. It may also take a performance hit if you go for the more exotic options like Lanczos
@@Swindy Awesome, I will have to give this a try and let you know what happens!
@@Swindy Definitely looked a lot better on my stream last night, thank you!
@@schubird43 Happy to help 😄
OMG you're still doing this mindblowing videos. you love headaches, don't you xD
Tks for ur msg i though i was alone ❤❤
1:15 This is the funniest thing I've ever seen
can you make a video for extensions? I want to put my Spotify songs on while I stream on twitch but whenever I try to search up on how to do that I'm given bad results...
you mean you want them to show on stream while having the spotify app open?
@@sami-kc8ox yesss i just cant seem to find a way to do it
@@MistPlayzFPS you can add a window source and record your spotify app window, then use the alt key to size the window down to just the bottom left corner to only show the song that's playing! additionally there's an opacity filter that you can use to make it almost see-through (if you have the spotify app in dark mode)
no plugin/extension required!
@@sami-kc8ox Honest to god thank you so much for your help 😭it looks like its working perfectly i really appreciate your help i mean it🖤
@@MistPlayzFPS ah glad that it worked! no problem :) its also a little trick i was told long ago, glad to help :)
Cap my FPS to my monitors refresh rate... looking at my Samsung Neo G8.
my camera keeps glitching. that makes me not wanting to stream anymore because its just annoying
dude pop ouht the beginning like he on heavy acid
ive always been taken down by facebook when I stream even with epidemic sound. now I stream with no volume. lol
WHat is the best all in one streaming software ? OBS is horrible. Settings are all over the place.
For me it’s hard because I’m not creative and it’s hard to keep people in
Wrong. My twitch stream sucks because I have a horrible personality and my gameplay is boring. My stream is technically sound though. (:
very talented teacher - cheers
I wish i could afford to use aa service like epidemic sound, $9 isn't a lot, but it's more than i can afford monthly right now.
The biggest problem I have ever had was for a month I was constantly getting dropped frames and nothing ever fixing it, after forever I updated my killer network card and it worked flawlessly
Killer network gear has always had issues; I can't remember a time where I haven't heard problems with their stuff.
Thank you! This is a very informative and professional video.
Excuse me sir, you seem to be using my overlay. May I have it back?
None of those are my issues. Getting someone to talk or even put a emoji in chat is problem.
I have tried running obs studio as an administrator before an unfortunately my OBS Hotkeys will not work on my Stream Deck. My only solution has been to not Run OBS as an administrator which fixes the issue.
Have you tried running stream deck as well in admin as that fixed my issue with it.
@@Correalian yes I have. Unfortunately it didn’t help
TRUST ME 👁👄👁
Question about twitch inspector should the results be a straight line and if not even though OBS and the inspector says my stream is excellent should I still be concern?
I'm finding out that a lot of people who see the Pokimon addon, or how ever it's spelled, they're more likely to leave. I'm removing it from my stream because it's quite obvious people don't like it.
☮🙏💙
Going to have to try a few of these tips to see if it solves my capture card freezes.
Is streamlabs obs still great for streaming?
Since when it was? XD It's not optimized plugin over normal OBS, and it didn't work with OBS plugins last time I checked about a year ago, it was harder to diagnose overall. I wonder why people even use it.
@@SneakyJoeRu so is obs studio the best bet with streaming? 🙏🏽
@@GamingDaily Yes
@@SneakyJoeRu simplicity's sake really. It has one or two features that OBS studio needs a plugin for, and so on. I only really mess with OBS because I've been using it since the start.
Forget Streamlabs, there is only one thing that isn't possible with OBS and 1% of people will ever feel the need for it.
OBS has superior performances AND the company behind Streamlabs Desktop are complete crooks
Pls also make a video if you're NOT gaming but making IRL streams
I just have shitty wifi cuz i live in a forest, so every now and then my stream just dies and i have to refill my 4g bundle, but it works i guess
more money then I would recomnd getting Ableton, it's much more powerful and better organized. You don't need to get the suite
I only have 1 problem, my pc sucks, and being unemployed makes it much harder to do something about it
Then get a job
Just wanted to add that the dynamic bitrate option in OBS is Amazing. I've used this option when doing IRL livestreams and it keeps the video super smooth with no drops. Sure the video will get pixelated depending on the bandwidth available, but I've had it maintain smooth non dropped video down to like 500kb/sec
In short: Don't stream with a shit PC and don't stream with a default OBS installation. Also: never use Streamlabs. To hell with Streamlabs.
I just found your Channel and loved the content! And I definitely recommend epidemic sound. I've been using it for almost a year now. Definitely one of the best copyright free music providers
1:38 This is why you're my favorite youtuber you make amazing content for us every day
The biggest problem with my stream is obs
Mine sucks because I suck. My parents agree.
Lol you don’t suck & you will get better & your proud are still proud of you regardless. Good luck!!
The only issue I seem to have no matter what. OBS disconnects and reconnects on its own. (I have a two PC stream) My testruns never crash ironically. Even did a 10hr test run
I never drop frames either....
w
"It's not my fault you suck" - that killed me 🤣
I can tell you a lot of us are getting salty with twitch.. they are just doing the wrong things lately on every angle. When it comes to banning people and unbans they are completely biased, everyone knows this now. They promote disgusting ASMR on their front page as 'twitch ambassadors'. Everyone misuses hashtags and messes up smaller streamer's growth. Like why is XQC and others all using the vtuber hashtag? I have been strongly considering leaving twitch soon. Been streaming for over a year, not really seeing any growth, maybe work on tutorials here and stream here might be a better idea. I dunno yet
it is true... i suck 😭
thank you so much! Subscribe + like
doing good after all the jobless and market crash talks
You don't have to open in Admin in OBS 28 and beyond anymore
I have been watching this channel for better experience of my stream thanks for everything u have done this far but i have a problem. My stream doesn’t look like what i have seeing on my screen. Quality is sucks a little blurry why is that happen ?
"not my fault you suck" see thats the thing. I'm The King of Bots. one can say I've mastered the art of sucking at games so much so I've 180'd.....twice
God bless you; busy works soft has notNice tutorialng on tNice tutorials. I feel more comfortable from watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials in mins than I have ever before.
Simple: No Pokimane and its done.
I have great gameplay just can’t get subs
Nah, my twitch stream sucks because I don’t follow my chat and I pretty much stream what I feel like when I want. 🤷🏻♂️
i stream just fine over WIFI no dropped frames no high ping. I think the best answer is to tell ppl stop investing in bad or cheap equitment
To be fair anything twitch related is pointless as its a dying platform. they lost over 1B hours watched and the increase in hot tub tiddy streams has ruined the platform.
That's why most people are moving to RUclips for streaming. I see Twitch dying in the next 6 months to a year.
So the title has nothing to do with the video!!
I see Queen Poki I click
