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!

[@dicodec]

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

[@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!

[@ahajja]

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

[@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 !

[@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.

[@stuartmccubbin932]

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

[@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 🙂

[@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

[@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!

[@TheNetGuy]

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

[@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.

[@felipeavella]

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

[@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

[@EOVO]

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

[@andyrechenberg]

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

[@gilmannayeem4340]

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

[@abrahaoquadros9907]

Your work and explanations are top quality. Congrats.

[@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 :)

[@CFMRocks]

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

[@missdollparts777]

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' :)

[@Brettspielblog]

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

[@nevencuca1680]

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

[@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

[@thearkuhtekt]

This was freaking awesome. Thank you.

[@BBFaith-Channel]

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

[@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

[@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

[@Skittlxs]

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

[@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. :)

[@daimaukr]

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

[@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.

[@SohaibHasan]

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

[@RicardoJunqueira]

Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing.

[@dashingdancerplays8249]
