The single best every OBS video tutorial ever made! Awesome! Thank you so much!

[@SandraS-Library]

I'm 56 and have been struggling with all this stuff and I just want to say that you are awesome. Thanks.

[@BaronPatrickRyan]

Thank you Awall for this in depth pro tips to better OBS. As a Canadian Military Veteran 27.5 years of service and disabilities from my military service, I use OBS , Live Elements and Now because of your expert advice Restream. I try to help other veterans, USA / CANADA in filing claims to VAC " Veterans Affairs" for their disabilities all the while streaming a game, be it Star Citizen, Call of Duty or ONE on ONE. This is invaluable advice and FREE, whats not to like. I may be taking you up on a Phone call / video for support advice in the near future for moving this even better and father. THANK YOU so much for making this video Andrew.

[@towlermedia]

Super high quality value on OBS! Really appreciate the time and effort in this. This is gold. Seen several things I need to up my OBS settings game on.

[@notcorruptmedia]

Glad it helped!

[@user-dj7cp9jg9m]

Great TIPS. #14 is actually Megabits not Megabyte. - Megabit /Gigabit are used for speed and network measurement. Megabyte/Gigabyte are used for storage and file sizes.

[@maesterx4d]

Correct

[@Crazy_Diamond_75]

And if you want to convert between the two, Megabyte -> Megabit multiply by 8; Megabit -> Megabyte divide by 8

[@ssm5372]

And byte is capital B (megabyte is MB), while bit is lower case b (megabit is Mb). Other than that this is a GREAT video. I'm going to be spending a couple of hours with it to fix up my OBS! Thank you!!!

[@TonyTigerTonyTiger]

That was bothering me too. I really doesn't make a difference in this video, but in most cases, there is a big difference (8x) between x bits/sec and x Bytes/sec.

[@VBshredder]

checked the comments just to make sure i wasn't crazy on this one. thanks for confirming.

[@AwakenedOnez]

I've been watching video after video compiling knowledge & I haven't even finished the video to make this comment. You crafted this video very well. It was very informative & well put together. You covered issues I haven't even thought about being issues & gave solutions for each. Again this is a great video.

[@laurieclark8397]

Hey thanks, you just showed an almost seventy-year-old woman, and art teacher, how to even begin to understand how to use OBS. Now I just need to add my iPevo document camera and/or GoPro and use it all within zoom and I will up my gain at least tenfold!!

[@onceonly1111]

Explaining the different scenes was very useful, I always wondered how people did that so easily. Nothing I had seen so far about setting up OBS mentioned separating scenes. edit: A little tip for others, I created a new scene with a second sound source one day, and this created a reverb effect in my stream which I personally couldn't hear until I played it back later. The stream was over an hour long and no one said anything! Always do a test recording of your settings to see how things might look and sound before you go live.

[@TheSilvertoot]

Hello my brother. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for this video. You have selflessly shared very good info that helps nubies like myself put out good quality videos. I have just started (as a complete novice) putting out sermons and by God's Grace other Christian content for my church I believe this will help my church's members who regularly tune in, and anyone else seeking biblical truths, access good quality, biblical content. Again; a massive thank you, and may our heavenly Father bless your channel so that you will continue to be prosperous, and charitable to your viewers. If government leaders were half as thoughtful for the common man as you, God's battle to protect us from evil would no doubt be, less difficult.. God bless and keep up the good work.

[@djtoneyb.production6051]

This is most definitely The Best tutorial I have come across, I do learn decent stuff from Michael Ferrer's post but by far yours in more no non-sense and less of the comedy of so many others trying too hard to win one over to collect likes & subscribes. Whereas your posts deliver with high end information that cuts through the BS and not trying to sell me ads or join podcast blah blah blah.... Besides the face when you are cheap (as I am) or don't have the resources to spend the dough to get experts seminar or webinars, like you suggested in another of your post. Please keep up the wonderful posts for the little guys and Thank you for so much I have gained from one video!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sugi3048]

Thank you for great tips! I watch your videos from Japan! Many videos explained in Japanese are inadequate, so these are very helpful.

[@notcorruptmedia]

You're very welcome!

[@voidboi0]

You're awesome. Appreciated waiting 5min until throwing in the sponsor and also keeping things super professional and brief as possible with enough info.

[@DefextOfficial]

Wow. People actually use just one scene for everything? I knew, day 1, that I had to create multiple scenes. Great video.

[@Blessieabcdefg123456]

That’s me…😂 everything in one scene …..😅piano, metronome, my face and musical staff. No wonder my obs crashes. This video is so informative ❤

[@sanguinj]

thanks for sharing. You do have the best quality video studio I have ever seen. Very pleasant to listen to you.

[@brianpso]

Dude, how the hell do you have only this many subs and views on this video? This is such quality content omg, thank you so much for the tips!

[@kbjgbgbaeb4L]

You really helped me a lot and I appreciate the gems you dropped, time and passion you put in this video for us.

[@RichardsWorld]

I was messing with the canvas size yesterday because I wanted to test streaming in 4K. OBS won't allow a canvas size bigger than the screen's current resolution. So, I can't stream 4K from my 1080P laptop. I had to use my desktop screen which is wide 5K screen, and force it to 4K.

[@djmollyparti]

This is amazing information, all these little settings are what tripped me up the most when I started streaming, and I couldn’t find all this info in one place. Thank you, I’m going back to check all my settings again! 🙌🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

[@mamotivated]

Such a valuable set of recommendations. Haven't started yet but now I am excited

[@GeorgeMadden33]

New OBS user here - this was great - will look over all your videos next - Thank you - Appreciated!

[@christophersmith5163]

This guy is absolutely amazing and I've learned a ton. Thank you! Though, I did notice this video stagger and stutter a few times due to some of the performance settings he suggests. Also, when he says "megabytes" referring to your upload rate, he should have said "megabits". Subtle difference but important. Internet speed is measured in bits per second, and 1 byte = 8 bits. When making your quality performance calculations this makes a huge difference.

[@aaronmannofficial]

Lots of great points even for someone using OBS for over a year now daily. I’m going to have to make some changes! Thank you.

[@BorderlessCommerce]

Couldnt find the awall podcast channel you mentioned.

[@incredibleviolent]

14:50 I downloaded the audio track of this KZbin video (192kbps). KZbin doesn't allow 320kbps so it's pointless to set that high, unless your profile is ripping audio from games.

[@cannbudo]

Bravo! my man. Bravo! Thank you so much for the clear and concise helpful tips. I will be implementing most of them ASAP. You are a gem. Thank you so much.

[@incredibleviolent]

Microphone settings (Comressor, limiter, etc.) are personal, there isn't a single best setting like you preach. Should've explained each slider to ease that process. A tip from me: Scenes, Sources, Buttons, ... panels are all draggable, and can be moved to those empty wasted grey areas around preview window. Then OBS takes less space, can appear next to live chat window and fit. If you're inspecting some little detail and need to zoom in on preview: pop it out into separate window (right-click).

[@mgbspeedy]

Great video. I wish I had seen something like this when I first started. #16 could be fast. Ultrafast etc settings for people with varying computing power. Solves a lot of issues for beginners. But everything you mentioned was spot on. I sub’d just to help support your channel since this is an unusually high value bit of info compared to most people on KZbin who talk mostly of basic scene creation. Good stuff best of luck with all you do.

[@notcorruptmedia]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rockandrollderelict]

Great tips, always professionally done with a bit of humor. Thanks

[@notcorruptmedia]

You are the first comment on this new channel!

[@JackyDeKlerk]

What! Where have you been Awall? Your content rock man. Have not seen such an incredible channel in a very long time.

[@JoshKaufmanstuff]

Are you using the Epic Pen app to annotate on screen? Do you have a video about your annotation implementation? Thanks!

[@justacuppajoe]

Best damn OBS help vid I've experienced so far. Content just rocks!!

[@JaydensMarioWorld-e9n]

Hello, I have been having trouble getting the Chroma Keying just right. Do you have a video on that? Are there settings I'm forgetting? Your green screen looks so clear in the video stream.

[@bernercalito8422]

Very helpful tips but do these setup work for iMac computer ?

[@xTapTapx]

Sorry, late to the party here, but loving your vids. Quick question though, I thought the ToS for Twitch prevented you from streaming live to another platform at the same time? Is this just an affiliate/partner restriction, or did I miss something? Cheers!

[@chrismooney-singh2055]

A practical and helpful check list. Thankyou.

[@The_Chad_]

Any reason why you recommend constant bitrate for recording instead of constant quality?

[@alpsrodriguez9413]

I JUST WATCH YOUR CHANNEL FOR THE FIRST TIME IS SO MUCH INFO THANK YOU THE BEST THING IS YOU SPEAK SLOW AND UNDERSTANDABLE FOR NOT NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS THANKS

[@alibi_streamhighlights736]

GREAT Video but if i disable all audio devices i lose my "desktop audio" so how do i setup the audio stuff after?

[@stephankruit3850]

Thanks for pointing these things out , just started streaming and your pointers are very usefull.

[@souviksamanta8938]

can you make a video for how to used nvidia broadcast 1.4 on gtx GPU for eye contact.

[@Ebread1738]

You really helped me with the audio device part because I had double audio and extra microphones like you said thanks for that.

[@kapriece]

After the audio point I almost quit watching. Been trying to solve that problem for years. It was right in my face the whole time. Thank you.

[@strandboy23]

You videos are amazing. No BS, I have learned so much in such a short period of time - thank you! Do you have any suggestions (or videos) on incorporating either an eGPU or a separate "gaming" machine into my setup? right now I'm using my work laptop (macbook pro) primarily for feeding zoom through OBS. At times it can get glitchy and I can hear the fan screaming for mercy. I suspect a better setup would be to separate them and use the laptop primarily for powerpoint or whatever I'm demonstrating in my web browser and then have OBS, Zoom, my DSLR webcam and mic coming into a separate system. Thank you again, guilty as charged of at least half of the above offenses!

[@notcorruptmedia]

thank you for your question and thank you for sparking a new video idea , surely in the we will make a video about this!

[@strandboy23]

@@notcorruptmedia That would be awesome, and timely. Could you do something about the cost of gaming/streaming PCs and components while you're at it? ;)

[@dj4Reel]

awesome thank you so much fam audio is mint now

[@ProfMarc]

Many Thanks! Some great tips...off now to do some fine tuning and testing...👍

[@notcorruptmedia]

Have fun!

[@the_og_killz]

Great videos man.. Getting more info than I expected..!!

[@AskChefJake]

Wow very helpful thank you!

[@ZhadTheRad]

I have only one sound input/audio source in OBS, and that's Wave Link Stream. I route all my audio through Wave Link, mic, browser, game audio, everything that I can route through Wave Link I do And from what you've said, I should technically be able to stream at a bitrate of about 25000? My upload speed is about 290 Mbit/s or ~36 MB/s.

[@Tandrew]

You should only use restream if you are not twitch affiliate thank you for the audio i know the rest :D

[@insomnia7094]

Excellent video!!

[@HighlandHippie]

AWALL, I'm a new subscriber after watching this video. This is very informative and helpful. Then I watched some of your other videos and I am thrilled with the quality insight that you have to offer. You are the man! Thank you and I will watch for those notifications. All the best, - Robert

[@ihrcoach]

Great video - thanks a lot! On MacBook: which encoder do vou recommend? X264 or Apple-VT-H264-Hardwareencoder or Apple-VT-H264-Softwareencoder to take the load off the processor ?

[@JackyDeKlerk]

Ok, so why did I only find your channel now. Awesome stuff!

[@AmericanWomanReacts]

Excellent tutorial! I wish I found this video 2yrs. ago when started my channel and wouldn't have to experience all the issues you pointed out (especially audio echos, audio/video syncing, etc.). For 4k recording, is there a recommended common FPS value?

[@gamesdog9067]

Great stuff. Noob question: If you don’t use studio mode, how do you transition between scenes?

[@MotivatorIndonesia]

Hi Awall great tips! Thanks.. How do you make a setting the on screen demo as background with you on the right of it? With OBS also or use another apps? Please reply.. Thank you so much..

[@dnllive23]

Excellent tutorial

[@Pjcreativemedia]

Brother!!! All of those items are going to help me . Thank you

[@thejessexander]

Omg thank you so much. I am using Obs for recording, taking most of my post production out by doing most things live. I had really good video but choppy audio. I couldnt understand why bc the audio from my rodecaster I would have to take the audio from my rodecaster pro and synch it up in post production.

[@socorro_buscando_la_verdad]

I use virtual camara obs for streaming with Stream Yard. This OBS-settings are also useful ? Or Stream Yard is regulating all this settings?

[@WPOTItheBlues]

Thanks for keeping it simple. I have been recording videos for about 8 months and still getting my ass kicked by the tech :-)

[@mamaschronicles3244]

I would like to hire you for an hour or so. I set everything up as i thought you suggested, now my output volume is so low i can't even hear it... i started backtracking and now im in a terrible mess. 🙏 please, can you help

[@JelsaFarmer]

Thanks for all of these tips😃 I need to do some adjustments 😂

[@ArchousGG]

but with restreaming, what if you get affiliate with any of the stream sites? Twitch, KZbin, Facebook, they don't allow restreaming to other competitors, wouldn't you then need to kill the others off? Won't that hurt in the end if your (personal) goal is to become an affiliate on one of the platforms?

[@Pjcreativemedia]

Good stuff brother

[@blaisekatambaasidiku7634]

Thank you for such great video.

[@notcorruptmedia]

Our pleasure!

[@39zack]

Is it not better to have canvas and output both to the streaming resolution so less transcoding is needed?

[@brunovincent1969]

Do not use simple! Man , you are a great teacher!

[@mamaschronicles3244]

is using the graphic card for output the same for mac ... don't think it uses Nvidia, by the way. your info is AWESOME and Life saving

[@incredibleviolent]

3:00: so because 1 source exceeds canvas size, I should go over and size-up all other sources? No, you set the canvas size to what screen ratio you're going for, most likely the monitor resolution you'll be recording most, then Ctrl+F new sources and optionally scaling them the way you see fit (if they escape bounds for example). It's factual that canvas should be big for comfortable positioning of sources, just your 4k camera argument was wrong - 1 source doesn't dictate your entire canvas.

[@incredibleviolent]

Using any downscale filter other than Lanchos is also a mistake. It's best with no real drawbacks.

[@DopeEstonia]

I have 500mbps upload and download for 50€, should i be streaming at 300 000 kbps then?

[@WidmoSG]

Thanks for the guide, at least you've convinced me that I'm 90% ok :). All that's left to do is to change the codec setting when recording to manual and not the default one from the stream. :) ps. I use mkv and convert to mp4. I have heard that an interrupted recording (unfinished, some crash obs, etc.) may not be openable in MP4, but in MKV there is no such problem. The rights are ?

[@Erika.Nichole.B]

Awesome video! Thank you for all of the tips!

How to set a timer to start and stop OBS recordings of your screen?

[@ronalddavis]

in the tools menu

[@Skidly_Finley5879]

I have one question. My canvas screen is a 5120x1440 samsung ultrawide but it wont let me have a 1920x1080 output (scale). are there any ways around that so i dont lose any of the size of my main screen. or do i say bugger it and set them both to 1920x1080 and call it a day. lol

[@Steely33]

So i changed all of my audio to 360 and lost my background source, it says it is now inactive, i have tried to make it active again, but it won't activate. i changed everything back to 160 and it is still inactive. thx

[@neilcox1911]

Excellent Thank you Best on here for tech and so helpful, Thank you 😀

[@PsicologoJulioNieto]

Thank You. The recording of yourself is good but the screen recording is not. How to improve the screen recording? 12:30

[@PabloLaFrossia]

Great video! One thing I wish OBS had was something similar to what Pro Tools does. You can hide a channel strip in PT and you can hide and disable a channel as well. I used that all the time when I’m tracking or mixing. I wish you can disable and hide audio tracks as well instead of muting them. As an extra precaution, I also lower the volume to 0 to the audio sources I don’t use in OBS as well.

[@radiorosemakeover]

how can i learn about Obs

[@edwardwhite4790]

I’m trying to use OBS with my ATEM 810 mini pro iso video switcher for live streaming. OBS will identify NDI, my webcam. Yet OBS doesn’t see my ATEM. I’m running Mojave 10.14.6 on my mid 2013 laptop. Blackmagic is telling me I’m not supposed to be able to stream using 8.6 with Mojave. I might need to uninstall this newer version of the ATEM software and use this older version which might allow me to have OBS see my ATEM 810..

[@82ndRelic]

Great vid! Let me ask you something. When you discuss internet speed, you say MBps not Mbps [big B vs little b]. Do you mean megabytes or megabits? Internet transmission speed is generally measured by megabits/ps [Mbps]. Megabytes [MBps] are 8x that of Mbps (1Byte = 8 bits) so that number doesn't really translate well since internet speed has been much slower than motherboard architecture bus speeds constructed in the past 30 yrs. But that's changed with internet phase/amplitude shifting and improved main board bus speeds. Bottom line: I translate 5 MBps as 40 Mbps. So I just want to make sure I'm interpreting the modern-day vernacular correctly since I'm of the generation where the 56k modem prevailed.

[@gsaxy]

Outstanding! thx! will definitely come back to you if i drive into lssues i can’t solve and wich do shred so much time uselessly.

[@notcorruptmedia]

Happy to help!

[@timbyrdmusic]

How in the hell did you get yourself to look so big in your OBS? And how did you remove your room's background? Niiiice!!

[@jimpomarico2831]

Hi, Love your video's! My cameras and capture card are all 1920x1080 60fps (I do virtual cycling classes). When I output to ZOOM should I keep my Output at 1920x1080 or change it to a different setting?

[@kalifor-ni-a1153]

Question about mic filters for you do I add filters on OBS if I have a GOXLR and set my audio up already? Will it cause any reverb or feedback?

[@MVRemastered]

Thanks great help with OBS setup. I would have never figure this out myself.

[@mikemiller9657]

When is it appropriate to set fps to 29.97 instead of 30? I thought video cameras shot at 29.97.

[@Chavacano]

..but wait..... theres more (2 hours LATER) ....but wait...theres more hehehehehe 💜💙💛💚🧡💗

[@ImmuneGoon]

Broooooo you are the absolute GOAT 🐐

[@FabulousIvan]

What if i have 681.81 Mbps in upload ???

[@ScottyGG]

This is great. Thank you for all you do. One thing I've always been curious about I can't find an answer to is how to best scale a camera feed. My camera is 1080p60, but I resize it in most scenes. Should I be using a 'scale/aspect ratio' filter? Or just manually resize it? Not sure what the optimal method is for both picture quality and performance.

[@lemon_brains_eater]

Thank you so much
