20 OBS Tricks All Streamers Should Know!

[@ahajja]

I can now see the option to Automatically start replay buffer when streaming, it's under Settings -> General -> Output.

[@zoonal-gg]

I have been using OBS for 2 plus years. Still learned a couple things. Thank you!

[@johncampea]

This was really helpful

[@P1xelPerfect]

Glad I could help!

[@BunkBeazy]

@@P1xelPerfect Yo.. thats kinda crazy. Ive watched John Campea talk movies for years. To see him comment on your video is pretty damn surreal.

[@TheDre1955]

This my first time logging in with you, I’m old skool I’m in search for streaming for church services, you’re talking some advance stuff is there an OBS for dummies.so I can catch up.

[@timegamecolors]

Yes true 👍 helped in making videos of skull for me

[@IPv6Freely]

To go along with the scene nesting, you can do the same to groups. Apply the filter to the group and it won't screw up the original source. So, I always put my webcam in a group even if its the only item in the group so that I can add filters to the webcam without screwing it up in other scenes.

[@P1xelPerfect]

AND AND (you’re really gonna like this one lmao) source mirror. Makes an EXACT clone of whatever you’re mirroring without effecting the original source. So it effectively removes nesting (didn’t know about it at the time I made the video haha)

[@mindsetdsfwarzoneclips6945]

That replay buffer part for clips was worth watching this entire video. Thanks bro.

[@mindsetdsfwarzoneclips6945]

That replay buffer part was worth this whole video. Thanks bro!

[@LowDoughTech]

Disable preview was something I'd not thought about for saving system resources. Good tip!

[@MagicMadMan]

At 19:37, in Output we can see the option to automaticaly start the replay buffer when streaming. Awesome video, I learned a lot of things

[@mohakaoki7173]

Hello. 20:30 for start replay buffer with stream, there is a checkbox in Setting->General->Output-> Automatically start replay buffer when streaming. I have OBS 26.1.1. don't know there is such a checkbox in previous versions.

[@bear4922]

I've been working on my stream in OBS for a while now and you're the first person who talked about linking your account and docking twitch in OBS. Thank you sir, a thousand times, thank you.

[@davidbrioso2483]

yes, looks cool. not available on MAC OSx / OBS 26.0.2, or OBS 26.1.2 or even 25.0.8, guess I'll have to see on 27.0

[@csrnibbler9912]

Great video bro. I have been watching OBS videos on KZbin for 2 days trying to find tips and tricks and your video had lots of stuff I had not yet seen. Well done.

[@Dabzzz]

That replay buffer setting is so awesome never knew that was a thing!

[@ilkkuPvP]

20:51 There actually is an option to automatically start replay buffer when streaming. You can find it in "Output" settings tab. Great video btw :D

[@Neroda]

This is the video I needed to put my OBS on steroids. Gonna come back to this later and set my stream up properly!

[@EOVO]

I was expecting this guy to have hundreds of thousands of subs! Excellent content! Thanks a lot, easy sub :)

[@stevenclarkson3643]

This video is VERY much appreciated! I'm pretty new to streaming and OBS and my current setup requires me to use one laptop for content and stream. Your custom stream res settings have helped me immensely. Subbed!

[@TheNameIsToby]

Having been streaming for the past 3 years, I've come to learn quite a few of these tricks over time - but holy s*** do I wish I knew just half of them when I first started streaming! Great video !

[@ValranoXTwitch]

Best OBS video I've seen on youtube. No one never went into details that much for that software. Thanks mate, best wishes from France.

[@rob215x]

I'm new to OBS. I Recently watched a dozen videos and this was one of the most useful.

[@AszullGames]

Dude this video is freaking awesome. I've been using OBS for a couple of years now and I have never noticed many of these let alone use them. I will be recommending this video to anyone wanting to look into useful features/tricks for OBS.

[@P1xelPerfect]

🙏🥺

[@stuartmccubbin932]

Just learning how to stream, this was super helpful cheers!

[@vladdziuba5510]

Cropping is something I was looking for a long time. Thanks, man!

[@acofficiel8152]

I searched for 2 days and I discovered you, you have the best audio stream tutorials all GG

[@daimaukr]

Thank you. I liked the most filters on scenes, and stinger transitions. good luck

[@daneo617]

I like stacking things along the bottom panel and just hit the tab of the section I need it keeps everything really neat and organized cool tip's 👍🏼✌🏼

[@NeophyteYT]

woah, I didnt expect to learn so much... I knew a couple of these tips but hiding and locking volume etc is super helpful and something I didnt realise! cheers mate :)

[@giftyunho]

2:55 The paperclip dude! O_O waaaaay back throw back lol got a like just for that but I’m sure this will be super helpful if I decide to stream one day

[@gilmannayeem4340]

Loved the first one, looking forward to trying this one out too.

[@stevecosio6]

Excellent video. LOVED the crop hack! By the way, it's the Option key on a Mac; Alt key on a PC.

[@GregMurrayEnt1]

Awesome Tutorial. I have been live streaming for about 6 months and this is the first time I've seen you. You really opened the doors to lots of new elements I was not aware of. Thank you!

[@MrRight-uv9vb]

you totally saved me with the shift and grab the image to move it how you want it. Been here for ages thinking how in the world obs don't have a feature to make the image fit

[@aderitoarmandomazive6735]

You deserve youtube award of the year. TNice tutorials video truly nails it! Very well explained... The way you cut the bullsNice tutorialt and get straight to it..

[@Skittlxs]

As a KZbin streamer with not too many high quality options for clipping, the replay buffer tip is a game changer. Great video!

[@theobgshow]

Thank you. Six months of learning in 23 minutes.

[@IlyaZub]

Thank you! Cropping of the Webcam source is what I've looked for.

[@humamreis]

why whe i use photoshop in obs the mouse tool and right click tool dont be enable in screen this problem for toturial ?

[@bruckenpfeiler6550]

I rescpect the harris heller influence in thus Video. Very Well executed !! Great video

[@Brettspielblog]

Thanks! Already knew some of those tricks, but learned many!

[@ikeooosonata5400]

Wow. You're the best. I couldn't understand what you were saying but I just followed instructions. Thank you so much

[@DCMXGaming]

Could you make a link to the transition effects and other stuff you used?

[@Aaron-tk1cv]

Nice tutorial, thanks! FYI: you can add filters to Source Groups, easier than adding to a scene. I use groups for my cams and stuff, and then I can crop and filter and whatever on different scenes and they won't affect each other.

[@ramavalos]

This was super helpful I hate how I held myself back from watching this earlier lol

[@MattyC-mp3er]

Awesome info, cheers for making this. The Auto start replay Buffer (when streaming) is now in the general tab of version 27.1.3 Thinking of mapping it to a spare mouse button for quicker response time, as I have reflex speed of roadkill. Nice tutorial and info. Thanks again. Oh I just checked... it was already there look at 5:55 its in the general tab under the output section

[@crugg]

Another tip for fine tuning things: Right click > Transform > Edit transform... There you can put custom pixel values. You can check your camera's one and e.g. if it's 1000 pixels from the left, you can check the width of your border (let's say it's 20 pixels), you can put 1020 for your webcam for example. You can also do pixel perfect rotation, size, center point, cropping etc. there.

[@P1xelPerfect]

P1xelperfect you say? 🌚

[@felipeavella]

Phenomenal video, man, thank you so much for all the useful tips and tricks!

[@canadianfishinmusician]

This is so crazy good. Shared to my channel play list for future reference. Thanks for sharing

[@thearkuhtekt]

This was freaking awesome. Thank you.

[@SuperJamesus]

the resting and distort doesn't seem to be working for me. in 2022 have the removed the feature of is there a setting that I am missing?. great video.. very helpful

[@IamKryptonite]

Settings>General>Output>second from the bottom for auto start replay buffer when stream starts :D

[@Temperjames]

Yeah I was surprised he hadnt seen this! Its invaluable

[@P1xelPerfect]

That’s why I mentioned it in the video I was like “I’m sure it’s here somewhere..haha”

[@Temperjames]

@@P1xelPerfect Great video anyway, dont want to seem ungrateful. You manage what i havent been able to in my videos, and that is to get to the point and not ramble on!

[@CricutWithRoosabella]

Thank you for this love it!! ❤️ Do you have a video on camera setup for what you use?

[@threebrothers308]

screen in the top left, look at where it says program and click on where it says “aggressive te” and change it to “analog app 1 te”

[@TheNetGuy]

Some of the best tips I’ve seen. Awesome stuff and will help my live streams, including tomorrow’s!

[@CodyCasterline]

This was great! I didn't realize that "Connect Account" gave you so much more (Twitch integration) than just using the stream key. I wish they'd made that clear when doing the setup so I had these features weeks ago. :)

[@dicodec]

Holy crap, you just helped me get a clear direction how to improve my stream 🙏 Thank you so much!

[@MrjHimself]

0:36 voice crack made my day.

[@hanspetterofficial9391]

Cool video. Quick question. The effect on the microphone doesent work with my headphones but on my computer speakers it works. Do u have any tips?

[@ScottRods]

Hahaha, I had to pause the video at the "I'm looking at you" comment. Guilty as charged, but that's why I'm watching your video.

[@P1xelPerfect]

Haha this video definitely got some resurgence after the SLOBS backlash. At least I can say I was there before it happened lol

[@ZeroneSolutions]

I want to start using OBS for KZbin videos. Do you have a video of the type of computer you use for your streaming? If not can you make one? Thanks for this.

[@edcararceo196]

I enjoyed your tricks so much keep it up, helping us alot specially for the new streamers

[@jmyvideos]

Great OBS tips. Is there a way to share/stream a Zoom meeting with a friend (not participate in the Zoom meeting) while I am recording recording it using OBS?

[@BBFaith-Channel]

One of the best videos I have seen on OBS. Very useful and informative. Well done

[@xjones2087]

Awesome tutorial, thanks for posting. You sure like the word "actually".

[@quinnryquinnry434]

This video is very informative! Everything that you mentioned is helpful! Thanks for the tips and tricks mate!

[@jmshakhawat309]

can we put a small control window for screen recording and get notified for when its paused and started the recording

[@nevencuca1680]

Excellent tutorial man. Very detailed and articulate, easy to follow.. You are a natural teacher. Use that Skill.

[@SohaibHasan]

It was super useful, thank you for this great video. Loved it.

[@shrutijain3080]

Thanks !! The outline around your photo is looking really nice How you have set up this?

[@COVNT_Meesix]

If you are planning on using the feature at 19:00 you are better off looking for an mov format. This way, you can make IG reels, YT shorts look professional as you can put the same clip in twice with the behind one blurry without the black bezels mp4 and jpg give

[@dashingdancerplays8249]

Solid Video, completely changed my set up

[@Moefficial]

Not gone lie, tip 2 blew my mind! I appreciate you for making this video. Great job

[@AnnaLytical]

I cannot believe how incredibly useful this video was

[@AuroraButterflyx]

Very helpful videos and shortcuts that I didn’t knew about.

[@jasonrhewlett]

Never knew a majority of this was possible. So motivated to get things like stingers and more to work now. Thank you for a great video and helpful speed in which you explained everything.

[@ruuuuuuuby777]

This was the most helpful video I could find. A nice long-ish video just explaining everything I have looked for, this is really gonna help me fir starting my streams' :)

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I'll probably come back and watch this again when i'm smarter

[@GeraltOfRivia-333]

Me too ;p

[@VicariousxD]

you probably are more than smart enough. it's just that you are not familiar with the software.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

@@VicariousxD i'm familiar with the software been using it for a minute

[@EdwardKilner]

It can be difficult to find the info you need. Last night I was trying to find out which mic was giving audio, USB or webcam. Couldn’t find out in Audio Help file, so had to experiment. Eventually, I figured it out. Also found you could add labels. This is just the way it is with this class of program. Latest version is nicer than ever, well worth the effort to learn, I’m hoping. Good luck!

[@alipinedacreates]

Thank you for these amazing tips. It's very helpful especially to someone like me who's a complete beginner in using OBS. Looking forward to more of your content 🙂

[@MichaelDaniels]

Just subscribed to your channel. I really like the way you did your video. very helpful. Many of these I knew but very nice job.

[@jokers_336]

willing to learn. Unless you already understand setups, then I gues sit's gonna be easier, but as a classically trained pianist I was blown

[@ValsReview]

These are really great tips helps a lot and many things I did not know thank you

[@DannyHauger]

Fantastic walkthrough for this total newbie, very much appreciated, plus you're direct, clear, and demonstrative - awesome!

[@charolinecatanduanes5308]

it worked perfectly for me! :) thank you very much, sometimes the game starts freezing but it's okay

[@scottabergermd]

Loved it. I am a retired doctor who wants to begin streaming about medical miracles, etc. Loved your show, and was wondering how to make that overlay which is the beautiful color changing frame surrounding your face cam? I guess it could be a mp4 file that is perfectly 9x16 plus a few pixels bigger than your face cam, and added as a group to the face cam?? Would love the file that is made from if you know. And also any place to help me set up our show and to learn more about this amazing new technology? Thanks new sub.

[@DarrahValentine]

This is so great thank you for this info I just started using OBS, this will really help a lot, could you please let me know what you use for your picture in picture and edging in this video face cam because I am a little confused in that section?..thank you

[@rodneymoore8755]

Great video and informative. Just started using OBS. Really needed this! I have a question. I'm using OBS and will use rstream or streamyard. Both provide rtmp to include in obs. Can my stream be viewed on website without using 3rd party sources like Facebook and youtube?

[@Ceruleanmoonlight]

I've been using OBS for so long and still learned so much! Super helpful!

[@tacticalaffiliatehub7558]

Thanks for the video! question: I am a newbie at this and I am making tutorials and I want to switch from the screen computer screen to the camera. I want the camera to be on the edge when I am explaining something in the screen and I want the camera to take over the screen when I am talking to my audience... thanks in advance

[@kennenthhartono805]

I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today

[@DavidAmrod]

Hello. I was wondering how one can have text scroll up to a picture, then go above the picture and continue scrolling, without scrolling over the picture... so it would be like 2 scrolls, one spaced at the bottom, and one spaced above the picture that has the scrolling text from the bottom one handed off to it?

[@gonxareloaded]

OMG you are so awesome. Im just started streaming a week ago and this is one on a bunch of videos i really get pure and clean information. Thanks.

[@TienTran-qd1ld]

Just bought soft soft! So excited to get started!!

[@andyrechenberg]

Incredible video. For those just starting out, this should be must-watch material. Thanks so much.

[@Avionyx]

On your tip #8, I wish the developers would incorporate skewing a 16:9 video source. For example, you have a virtual background, and on a wall that's viewed in perspective with a flat-screen TV on it, I want to be able to superimpose the 16:9 video source of my webcam or other video source to match the perspective lines of the TV screen to give it a more realistic look.

[@P1xelPerfect]

So essentially you would want to line it up perfectly with the tv in the background? like depth wise on the Z axis?

[@marathuzula9024]

Thank you! Just realizing I could connect to my twitch was a huge benefit of watching this video and I grabbed a few more key tips as well. Much appreciated!

[@alainschutz838]

Thanks a lot - your video is a Great start to soft soft. I'm onto it !

Hey Professor, first time getting into the YOU TUBE University. What is a good link to a safe OBS site? Do you have a good suggestion for using Audio Grams?
