This is my “Master Class” for OBS Studio. I’ve spent basically all of 2017 researching, scripting, revising, shooting, and producing this course, and I’m quite proud of what it’s become. This should be a fantastic all-in-one reference guide with the software, with just minimal updates required for new features.
This course will primarily focus on the Windows version of OBS Studio. I have some minor points that reference differences with macOS and Linux setup, but I cannot currently go in-depth with those versions at this time.
Also, this video is available in a full 4K UHD 60 frames per second format. This will give you not only the best visual quality, but the best clarity for viewing text and settings menus.

Is the amd fx8320 good enough to stream or no?
can i have help please... i cant figure out how to make my recording and streaming run smoothly
@@blindbuys7369 not for newer games. you should upgrade to the Ryzen socket motherboard asap and get a 7 at least for a good workstation. The only problem is right now video cards are way overpriced because of supply shortages. be sure to check MSRP for the real price. you can avoid this if you buy from any pc building companies that charge for assembly, but it's still cheaper than in-demand cards that can go for double the MSRP.
@@robinhood_xd1777 try just using ethernet and open a game with your graphic settings and run the auto-configuration wizard on the current OBS version
Why there are no videos for VODs only everybody gotta stream?
Thanks for all the hard work you put in making these. There’s so many differing opinions on these things and hard to find the best.
Thanks for watching!
This video was more helpful than all the other mainstream obs videos. You deserve some recognition man. Good work!
Thank you for this guide. I've been struggling what the settings mean and finally a video to explain it. Thanks, I subbed
Very quick and informative. Much appreciated! So glad I've subscribed
I got OBS more or less on a whim, i mostly just want to use it to get quick recordings of gameplay with the replay buffer. Thank you for these huge in depth tutorials, makes setting this up a lot easier, especially if i decide to actually upload stuff
I was looking for this explanation everywhere thank you! I only have one question. You skipped over the output on recording. Does the recording and streaming output resolution have to match or can you record at a higher resolution than you're streaming depending on hardware?
I just experienced what you said towards the end about uploading and finding out your video looks like crap with my latest uplaod. Live and learn.
Thank you so much for what you do here.
I’ve been trying to learn OBS all weekend lol this video helped out so much with understanding and messing with my settings. My streams look much better! Thank you so much.
This was a helpful upload! Can you explain what exactly the keyframe interval and profile does to the quality of the video? I'm not too sure on these settings
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. I really appreciate all the thought and work you put into these.
Thank you so much! Your tip on setting the bitrate to 30,000 fixed my video pixelation issue! So many other people kept saying to put it at 5,000, so I'm really happy that your tip was the solution to my problem!
Thanks for watching!
Your show has been a big help, thank you.
Thank you so much! Please share a new video for this configuration for the new version of OBS! many of the configuration options are not in there anymore, they must be in other menus :(
this guide is great. plus remember if you're using a condenser mic like the blue yeti you can reduce background noise using obs filters.
Duke Favre you almost have to with the blue yeti. That thing picks up everything
I'm having an issue with obs. Whenever I open it my game fps drops by 80%. Turning off preview fixes this but when I start recording/streaming the problem comes back. It's not like I have bad hardware(ryzen 7 1700+gtx 950). I've tried all the encoders available for my system but that doesn't make a difference. Please help.
The Streamlabs preview of my game stutters like crazy if I use 60 fps, and it still stutters a little even on 30 fps, what can I do to fix it?
Hey would this help me from lagging cause I been watching videos and setting my OBS and I just be lagging yes I’m hardline in and still get lag
Adam, on a dual setup PC (gaming + Streaming/recording) can you use CPU (1950x) x264 for streaming with a low bitrate / medium preset and at the same time use NVENC with an nvidia gpu (GTX1080ti) for recording with a high bitrate?
Very helpful thanks!
Thank you for all the videos
I use NVENC H.264 when streaming to twitch. Which preset should I choose? Should Enforce streaming encoder settings & Use Two-Pass encoding be checked? Thanks in advance :D
Hey man i've got a 75hz monitor and when I record, the game is smooth but the video ends up not 60fps. It only works when my monitor is 60hz but it doesn't feel as smooth. What can I do?
Would it be possible to maybe do an updated version of this tutorial with OBS 25.0?
Thank you very much for the awesome video, i have one question about recording.
I have two PC, 1st PC is for streaming/recording and 2nd PC for gaming. (Using NDI)
in this case what is the best setting for recording? (Note: Im using HDD and not SDD for recording but can you give me your recommendation in both case)
Note: Streaming/Recording PC Spec is
GPU: MSI GTX 970
CPU: Intel i7 3930k
RAM: 16 GB
thank you sir, definitely trying this out!
thank you for sharing another learning how to improve OBS Live streaming ❤️❤️❤️
@EposVox
This is just perfection. Thank you so much for putting so much not just effort, time, love and dedication....and who knows what else.
......
And the least but not the last.....the whole project that it is like it is and it shows what it shows..... its........ FREE !!!!! FREE EDUCATION !!!!
RESPECT
I noticed you used NVENC for recording but x264 for streaming. Any particular reason why? I’ve been experiencing lag with the x264 and thought maybe switching to NVENC might help.
When you have the performance, that's the best combo. Nvenc looks better than X264 at high bitrates whereas X264 looks better than Nvenc at low bitrates. && X264 is much harder to drive for high res/bitrate recordings.
If you're struggling w/ X264, I'd start by raising the CPU Usage preset and if still having trouble, nvenc is fine.
Epos, I have a new system running at 5ghz with my 8700k and a 980ti overclocked. I only stream games on twitch and rarely record and stream at the same time so should I be using x264 and a bitrate of 4500 if streaming at 720p 60 fps downscale? My upload speeds are good enough to handle 6000 bitrates but im not partnered with twitch yet. My upload speeds are hitting 10mbs.
Hi Chris. As a twitch no-partner, you may consider that some people may don't have the connection requirements to watch your stream at 6000 bitrates or more. You may produce a very high quality stream but if a big part of your audience can't watch it, it'll be in vain. Just something to think about.
Thanks for the tip!
And if your upload is only 10 mbps, it might some time drop under 6000 and then the stream would lag.
I Have A Issue With My Internet It Stops Everyday for 1 minute When I streaming, during that time Bitrate Is 0 And Stream Ended on RUclips Is There Any settings on obs that will help me for 1 min-2 min buffering when i have 0 bitrate .
I appreciate the video. Lots of useful info. in this. There are a few things different in obs near the end, but mostly the same. The issue I'm having is when I record gameplay on my desktop and put the file in my editor, any edit I make desync's the audio. Before I do, it's perfectly fine. I heard that I need to make sure I have CFR enabled but I can't find it anywhere in the new version of obs. Also, if I put the obs file in visual studio ultimate it crashes if I try to do any editing. Do, I possibly need to convert it to an mp4 first?
Why is that if I want to run OBS in background and it works but when I switch windows profile, stream freezes?
Amazing video I appreciate it a lot man
Thank you for the lesson!
crazy this is a year and change old and still valuable.. thanks
my obs studio rec display perfectly but when i open obs the pre iew shows so big even if i move the preview dosent work
plz tell me the solution to fix it.....
Is there any particular reason to set Keyframe Intervals to 2 _for recording?_
RUclips doesn't mention Keyframe Intervals on their Recommended Upload Settings page.
On their Recommended Livestreaming Settings page however, they do specifically recommend setting it to 2 (and not to go over 4).
+Andreas Sagen
That setting is in seconds, not frames. So 1 usually means 30 or 60 frames.
With auto (0), the keyframe is variable (maybe 7 secs on average?).
A low keyframe setting is useful for faster seeking and cutting the video, but it will also increase the file size.
I’m having trouble finding good settings for recording gameplay with OBS. I use an elgato HD 60S capture card and my laptop’s resolution is 1364x768.
What should I do for my canvas, scaled, and bitrate amount??
whats the best settings for a ryzen 7 1700 @3.7hz and an amd rx 470
Hey EposVox, I hope you can get to this I have 2 questions. I saw that you keep your Base resolution at default in your video settings but, in output you rescale it down to 1280x720 do you only do that because when you record you want to make sure the video resolution stays at default and not 720 or does it make a better stream quality. you have a wonderful day and thank you in advance.
Yes, I want to record at full resolution and stream in 720
thanks, so much of assistance
Hello i started to record with obs but is there like way to pause video while you reocrding or make a pause like when someones come to your room ? not streaming only recording
what bitrate should i have for recording and streaming with 5.96 upload speed
Thank you sir for information
Very helpful, thank you! :D
Thanks for watching!
I'm just looking to record and got a decent rig. I use a 1440 x 900 resolution monitor and am curious if there is any advantages to rescale my output to 1152 x 720. I'm of course looking to get the best quality possible, In my eyes they look just about the same but I'm not sure if that will change after I upload the video. Any help or suggestion are much appreciated.
Great quality. And i mean your channel, not the OBS Settings. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching, Tygoo!
is it possible to talk to you on discord/skype? i Have an issue with OBS and i don't know how to fix it.
Is cpu core count better than cpu speed for encoding and streaming?
this is the perfect explanation I watched btw.
What kind of computer do u have, i have an alienware aurora and im trying to figure out the best settings for this computer (and if u need to know i plan on recording fortnite)
Ive been having a problem recently streaming to twitch where the game I'm playing (fortnite) keeps a good frame rate (about 200) but when streaming on OBS where it says frames dropped (at the bottom of tab) the number of frames dropped keeps going up. How do I fix it?
Thanks for this!
thank u for this video and sharing the tips
Do think think for amd u should use pre pass mode or not
My audio when i stream sounds a bit distorted and i dont know how to make it sound like the actual game that im hearing. Any tips?
Thank you for being so down to earth.
:)
I was hoping two pass encoding and B-frames would of been covered in this video. Thanks for these videos. I've been going crazy trying to figure out this stuff.
For streaming leave them on default. Turn off 2-pass if you're trying to troubleshoot performance, but leave B-Frames on 2 for streaming.
For recording, b-frames at 1 can be useful such as in Friday's video -- ruclips.net/video/8YaVkrwalmw/видео.html BUT that needs left on 2 for streaming
Thanks for the reply. I didn't expect you to comment back with your channel being as big as it is. Have a nice day.
Hi!!! Where can I get the disk icons that come out in minute 7.35?
How does AV1 compare to H265?
Also I have a Radeon RX550; got it specifically for the hardware encoding
Should I use H264 or H265;
I put 4 for streaming and 5 for recording; I won't be streaming and recording at the same time... but would that be possible? 24gb ram, & Ryzen 5 4600G.
Would you say this is the video for "Here the important settings, here's how they work, adjust based off your wifi & hardware"
Or would those videos be in the master class playlist?
i am using an APU with an MSI mobo and will allocating more VRAM from my RAM then using the AMD video coding engine improve my recordings? my videos are currently stuttering after the recording..
u have done all of this even set bitrate to suite my internet but my videos still look grainy in fullscreen but when in small screen the look ok
THANK YOU! MASSIVE CREAMPIE!
Thanks for the help mate!
Thanks for watching!
THE BEST VIDEO EVER
this finally is some nice and crisp quality, not like 90% of the "1080p" videos on youtube.
for me the stream looks extremly bad. doesnt matter which settings i use
This vidio is so helpful. thank you to help me in the obs
EposVox this video was a huge help to take my stream to the next level
Good luck!
Why does my 1080p 60fps stream look like a 720p 60fps stream ? I stream League of Legends. I thought that 1080p will look really crisp
I have 300mb upload so my bitrate can be what ever i need, my question is should i use my cpu to stream or my gfx card 7700k or 1070? Im not gaming on the streaming pc so its only job is to run the stream. oh and its to youtube not twitch. Any help would be great :)
I have a system with Ryzen 5-1400 16gb (8gb x2 ram)@ 2400mhz and 6gb gtx 1060
And i can stream at 6Mbps using Nvenc encoder
What resolution and framerate do you recommend for streaming for as low noise as possible in video?
Please reply
I put 10 seconds delay, but in the end i come up with 30 sec.
Has it something to do with the upload speed? I fixed resolution and bit rate sinc i have about 1,7 - 2 upload speed !!
Thanks sir for valuable sharing. I take live class and experience buffering always. I see a message as " RUclips is not receiving enough video". Plz let me know how to fix it. My laptop: 8 gb ram. Dell i3 processor. No graphics card.
My stream wasn't good, seems that I had bigger resolution than my bandwidth could handle. Thanks for clear explanations!
Been using Mixer on and off and recently gotten more serious about the stream. Am currently troubleshooting / performing trial and error with different settings. Whether Its better to just stream off my XBOX X with Mixer without running it through the xbox app and capture it with OBS. I stream on both XBOX and PC. I most definitively want to run Skyrim SE on both PC and xbox but there is a definite lag with pixelation? other times color mesh. Im aware of trying different settings as well as taking internet into factor. Looking for any advice if not help or guidance. especially in terms of bitrate. Also if someone is savy in knowing what the settings really do on xbox itself.
Specs: 3.50 Ghz
GTX 980 Ti
15.93 GB Ram
1920x1080 Monitor
thank you!
For recording, CQB vs VBR? I'm having trouble finding answers, some say CQB is better in quality vs VBR but haven't found concrete answers about that
I need help with my obs, I've just reinstalled it because my webcam wasn't working, now it is but now I have another problem, local countries aren't showing up in the stream settings! I'm only getting Asia and EU servers whcih aren't good for me! Do I need to uninstall it again?
Most things I've seen tell me to put profile on high and rescale the video in output section. Could you explain why you do main and rescale in that section?
Main is most compatible, high will produce higher quality at resolutions such as 4k.
You can rescale in the Video tab, but then your entire canvas is scaled and you can't record original quality. Whereas if you scale in output for streaming, you can still record the full res in recording. All of these can be interchanged base don your needs, that's why they're there :)
@@EposVox Sorry for bringing this up again. But if I don't wanna record, only stream, where do you get the max. quality rescaling from? I stream at 720p, original monitor resolution is 1080
@@thcolour2883 yes this is my question as well @eposvox
the only video that helped after a month, than you king
I have 120 mbps upload speed, good bitrate? I cant find anyone anywhere that asked the question.
thank you man
Help
I connected a mixer to my computer. I checked the playback and it sounded clear. However, when I livestream, the sound are all cracked. I'm guessing that the audio bitrate I used is to low. but someone told me to use a sound card. I need suggestions.
Thank you so much man. This helped a lot!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting :) @@EposVox
doesnt doing the rescaling in output vs. video what determines whether the CPU or GPU is doing the rescaling?
So if my image on stream has been coming out fuzzy and my OBS shows a red box for bit rate, what would I do? Lower to 30 FPS from 60? Or rescale to 720p from 1080? Thank you
If it shows a red box for bitrate that means you're pushing too high of a bitrate for your internet bandwidth and need to lower it.
EposVox I have like 30 upload speed and was using 5000 before and it was fine now all the sudden it won’t work well. Lowered it to like 3500 and still had the issue lol. 30 FPS or rescaling to 720 wouldn’t have any affect? Thanks for responding!
Not knowing what kind of setup you have even when it comes down to something like a router and whether or not you share your connection with X amount of people makes it hard to really guess what your issue could be. Knowing more than just your theoretical max upload speed, res and bitrate is only part of the story when trying to diagnose your problem.
bud, i did all as u did on the video, and i have a situation. when i click on stream, everything looks like is going ok, but, i cant never see the video on my utube channel as i used to. like it starts streaming but never upload the video. any idea why is that happening?
Dude... I CAN'T thank you enough! I was just about to give up on this new computer I got, and return it to Best Buy, until you showed the advanced settings, and CHANGING the encoder, in my case AMD! Works like a dream dude, thaaaank youuuuuuuuu!
NathanSifuGaming wait did you change the encoder to AMD or from AMD to x264.
Beastmode Buns to AMD, I only had 2 options (I forget what the other one was) and other one was slow as CRAP!
NathanSifuGaming oh ok thanks for the info
Hiiiii, I have error 3000 on my stream, you know how to fix it? :(
Would this video still apply if you use Nvenc New encoder?
I wanted to say thanks for the viseo. Just got OBS and after testing it my recording was pretty bad. I set the Recording Format to mkv, Encoder to NVENCH H.264 to match my Geforce 960, and the Bitrate to 30000. It was the Bitrate to 30000 that did it. It defaults to 2500, which is a crappy VGA looking picture.
Glad to help! Yes, 2500 is quite low for recording
Great vid but what cursor do you use?
Should i been fine with a PCI wifi express adapter? I have an asus one in my computer, does it compete with an ethernet cable for streaming
Always worth trying, but wired will always be > wireless for reliability
I’m streaming off a PS4 pro using an Elgato HD60 S plus , and a i7 9th gen 8 core cpu, Geoforce GTX 1660 super 6gb ddr gpu, 16gb ram pc. What do you recommend x264 or Nvenc new encoding. My upload speed is 11.2 sometimes 10mbps. Also should I keep look ahead and psycho visual tuning off? I’ve looked at so money videos and haven’t found anything to give me a clear answer especially for console streaming. I’ve played with 720p 60fps and 1080p 60fps and tried both x264 and Nvenc. My PC is mainly to stream my PS4 Pro and make RUclips videos on OBS. I’m trying to get the best picture quality when I’m streaming and sometimes the game looks blurry when I’m playing. I have a Logitech c 920 webcam and I’m playing ghost of Tsushima which is 30 FPS.
So my video after recording goes way to fast. i tend to record my commentary Audio separate and it's really noticable that even when I synced both the Video would just outspeed and it's not even the game play. It started from being 39 minutes and it cut it down to 25 Minutes. Could anyone help.
EposVox thanks for the video!! I guess my computer is not as fast as I thought it was. I have an AMD A6-5400k APU with Radeon HD Graphics 3.6 GHz and 8.00 GM RAM. Right now, my recordings suck. During recording, OBS tells me "Encoding overloaded! Consider turning down video settings or using a faster encoding preset." I matched my settings to your settings in this video where I could. For encoder, I only have x264 and Use stream encoder.
Do you have any suggestions on what settings I can change to make a recording turn out good? Thank you.
Kinda' late, but in my experience, APUs/integrated graphics solutions rarely work out well for this task for some reason. : \
Having a dedicated CPU and dedicated GPU, not even terribly powerful ones, has always made a big difference for me so far.
Bro I have a good pc, 1080 etc, but my stream in RUclips lags , something like a ping, and my max resolution in RUclips is somehow only 360. Help plz
Did you use the Electro-Voice RE20 Microphone for this video? The recording sounds very clear and balanced. ???
Thanks
No, the Re20 is a broadcast mic that needs to be up close to the subject's mouth, and thus would be on camera. It would sound really bad off-camera. I used the Sennheiser MKH-416 Shotgun Mic.
What should we write in recording path?
I'm following your instructions, but The video is all colorized and has
no audio when I view it in OBS and also looks this way in the Facebook
Live preview box. I remuxed the video to an mp4 just to view and it
looks perfect. The .mkv and .mp4 both look colorized from within OBS
only. Suggestions?
Thanks to you I discovered my ignorance.
I didn't realize I was using my CPU entirely, as I'm currently limited to an i5 9400 LOL
Switched to my GPU which is a 2060super and now its recording flawless 1080p at 60fps.
Do you recommend having the framerate in OBS set a bit higher than the actual recording will render at?
Framerate? No. Bitrate? Yes. These days I recommend CQP and setting the value to 14 for recording. (Lower value = higher quality )
Hey 👋🏻 Could you help me out 😶 Well I wanna record ( JUST RECORD WITH OBS , NO STREAMING ) 1 hour video on my 2019 MacBook Pro Hooked up with my canon camera. What RECORD settings is best for 2019 MacBook Pro for recording 1080 @ 60 fps video.
