OBS Studio 16x9 on Ultrawide (No black bars!)

How you can record/stream using OBS Studio in 16x9 format (aspect ratio) without stretching or black bars.

Hi. Great tutorial. I have a 45" ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor and would like to start streaming on twitch. 4090/13700k/32gb ddr5/ and hardwired to gigabit fiber. Which setup would you go with if I’m not bound to any hardware constraints? I’ve tried a lot of resolutions and scaling but want it to look and run smoothly for view. I mainly play war zone on high settings. Thanks for your help

Im curious on how do you set up if want to make gameplays? when I put full screen the game it get all my screen 21:9 in Obs is not getting all the game for the dimensions...hope you can answer or make a video please

[@jorgiewtf]

Nice video man. Do you think I could stream video games on twitch using this technique while still using my ultra wide monitor?

[@davidoverstreet0246]

I’ve only been struggling with this for a couple years. It’s actually why I quit streaming. Thanks you for your help. Seriously that was to easy.

I was frustrated with it lately (got a 32:9 odyssey g9) but now i just play games in windowed mode when streaming :D

I don't understand how to make this work it just cuts off hafe my screen

[@FlockersDesign]

Okey buf what is your recording a game but you play on 21:9? Would this way not cut off a part of the game ?

[@chadcapra]

Great Question. Yes, you are correct, if you wish to record all of the screen, you need to set you the canvas to a 21:9 aspect ratio. At that point, if someone watches the video/stream on a 16:9 screen (i.e. TV and "most" monitors), they would see black bars at top and bottom. However, if they have an ultrawide screen (i.e. 21:9), they would not have black bars because the aspect ratio is the same. Hoping I get a chance to make a follow up video very soon!

What do you do to your chroma-key be so good? Please answer.

[@chadcapra]

Sorry for the delay. There are 3 rules: 1. Lighting 2. Lighting 3. Lighting :) Chroma Key works by removing a color. If the background is all the EXACT same shade of green (or blue... or whatever), a filter can easily remove the color.
