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.

[@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)

[@zoonal-gg]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@stuartmccubbin932]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@EOVO]

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

[@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? 🌚

[@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

[@felipeavella]

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

[@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!

[@MrjHimself]

0:36 voice crack made my day.

[@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

[@mindsetdsfwarzoneclips6945]

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

[@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 !

[@mindsetdsfwarzoneclips6945]

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

[@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 :)

[@stevecosio6]

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

[@quinnryquinnry434]

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

[@edcararceo196]

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

[@LowDoughTech]

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

[@vladdziuba5510]

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

[@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]

🙏🥺

[@ramavalos]

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

[@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.

[@theobgshow]

Thank you. Six months of learning in 23 minutes.

[@Brettspielblog]

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

[@daimaukr]

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

[@TheNetGuy]

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

[@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 👍🏼✌🏼

[@SohaibHasan]

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

[@gilmannayeem4340]

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

[@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

[@dicodec]

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

[@cfmrocks]

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

[@BBFaith-Channel]

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

[@bruckenpfeiler6550]

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

[@Dabzzz]

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

[@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 🙂

[@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!

[@AnnaLytical]

I cannot believe how incredibly useful this video was

[@taua_mendonca]

Clear explanation and very useful tricks indeed, you could call it a tutorial easily

[@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

[@rob215x]

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

[@nevencuca1680]

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

[@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!

[@abrahaoquadros9907]

Your work and explanations are top quality. Congrats.

[@IlyaZub]

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

[@Skittlxs]

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

[@pavoooo6488]

what a really good video!! very precise, teaching and entertaining!

[@CricutWithRoosabella]

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

[@AuroraButterflyx]

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

[@ToneKotsu]

Here before your subscriber count gets higher. Great content! This really helps!

[@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

[@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?

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing.

[@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!

[@zacharywood9254]

This was super helpful and had so many features I didn't know about

[@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.

[@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. :)

[@andyrechenberg]

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

[@acofficiel8152]

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

[@shrutijain3080]

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

[@JoseMartinezNYC]

After watching this video, you have earned my subscribed, liked and comment. Also following on twitch and joining the discord. This video is very helpful tips for someone looking to start streaming. Thank you!

[@firedhawk6652]

This was way more helpful than I can describe! THANK YOU

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

[@aderitoarmandomazive6735]

[@dashingdancerplays8249]

Solid Video, completely changed my set up

[@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.

[@Patch_58]

Holy crap that’s a lot of info. I’m saving this. Thanks dude.

[@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

[@BOXING_LOUNGE]

[@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

[@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?

[@Videoer13]

Underrated AF. Great video 😀 !

[@MVPWOLF]

WOOOOOOOW bro good job, i thought i knew alot about obs but now i now more thanksss

[@jonyy124]

Wicked video man, super informative

[@BeatsBeneath]

Very surprised by your number of subs too man, this video was great!

[@francisaugustine7100]

Very generous of you. Thank you!

[@Kuroganashi]

you can add this to the properties of OBS: "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --startreplaybuffer Adding --startreplaybuffer it will auto-start as you open it.

[@alainschutz838]

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

[@RobSpeleolog]

Good job, Bro! Subscribed!

[@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”

[@cinnamorolleverything]

Awesome video man!

[@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.
