Hi, Thank you for the amazing tutorial. I wonder if you can help me please?! When I'm placing the 'streamlabel' following your instructions, the only thing that appear is the black vertical line, like it does on your tutorial, but yours goes further and change, mine stays the same. Please advice!

[@TheVideoNerd]

Hi! Is it possible that you don't have many followers yet? I did test this on a new account with 0 followers. When I followed the account, I wasn't showing up in the labels, only after a day. Try some other labels like followers or subs this session. If those show '0' instead of an empty black box, it just means you have to get some followers. Good luck!

[@bertrammoshier8770]

@10:03 You're providing resolution suggestions. You say you should use the largest for base and 1280x720 for the output. My base is 5120x1440 (I run my game a t 4992 x 1404 x 60 fps @ 144Mhz). The output scale doesn't include the 1280x720 you suggest. I see 2560x720 as the only 720 option. What should I do?

[@TheVideoNerd]

You should select a normal aspect ratio resolution as your base resolution and then choose 1280x720 as your canvas. When you add your game capture you either scale it till top and bottom are aligned but you'll cut off left and right because your recording is so wide, or your other option is to play your game at 2560x1440 and not use widescreen. That's probably the best option.

[@robertmcpheron8489]

Thank you very much for the tutorials on Streamlabs they really help me learn. By the way what is your game tag for streamlabs?

[@kealz318]

Awesome video bro! I have some questions though.. Could you tell us more about what kind of mic is good or the one you are using? What happens if you want to stream at 4K you know how much the bit rate should be? Can you stream at 4K but have a lower bit rate in order for people able to watch your stream?

[@TheVideoNerd]

People are not streaming in 4k. If you want high Quality you should go for 1080p 60fps and 6000 bitrate

[@kealz318]

@@TheVideoNerd Wow thank you! This is the fastest reply I ever got in my life! 1080p 60fps sounds good but what about the viewers is 6000 bitrate not high? I mean can it also be 3500 or 4500 bitrate I want most people able to watch it. Even in 2019 the average people still have slow internet speed some have over 100mb/s+

[@kealz318]

Thanks alot by the way I was just watching plenty video's on KZbin. This one is by far the most interesting one very helpful easy tutorial to follow. You should make many more video's maybe start a gaming channel hehe :)

[@TheVideoNerd]

@@kealz318 Haha I got a notification on my phone! Well I once saw a study that showed that almost no one has an internet speed that's too low to watch 5000 or 6000 bitrate but to be absolutely sure you can, indeed, use between 3500 and 4500 but I'd consider going 720p 60fps then :) You can test out what works best at those bitrates.

Question - How to space your Streamlabs message template and image? For example, if you look at LuLuLuvely's stream, when someone subscribes she has a video play and the text is below the video. I have my video loaded but my text is covering the video. I do not know how to code so not sure how to make the text below the video. Thanks!

[@TheVideoNerd]

Hi! When you click on An alert on the left, you'll see 3 boxes on the top right. Those are to choose the position of the text. I briefly mention Theo when setting up the first alert :)

[@MasterPinglo]

This is based off the Streamlabs Dashboard style you portrayed in this video*

[@TheVideoNerd]

@@MasterPinglo Oh right this is my 2019 version, I just released the 2020 one. But if I remember well, I'm also talking about that in this video, no? The 3 options to display text above, on top of under the graphic. You can choose it for each alert as one of the first settings.

Hey great video, love your stream setup

[@Richkidz-il1io]

to stream on twitch in this video is the same way to set up for mixer too?

[@TheVideoNerd]

Yes, you can also read through what they're saying on their website. It looks like they advise to set the keyframe interval to 1 (twitch asks 2) but tbh you can just use the same settings as in this video.

[@tj1210]

You freaking SAVED US

[@Ismailion]

What does the Look-ahead do on streaming section?

[@Ismailion]

What do u do when you play on Asus Ultra wide screen and it stretch the screen to streaming ?

[@TheVideoNerd]

@@Ismailion You can either change your game resolution to 16:9 or game in widescreen and position the game capture in slobs for example on top of your screen and add your webcam/socials/chat on the bottom or the 3rd option is adding your 21:9 game capture in slobs and making it bigger so it fills the whole screen and the edges left and right are off-screen. The last option might work for some games but I wouldn't do that in most cases.

[@TheVideoNerd]

In most cases you should disable look-ahead when playing fast-moving games. I wish cards were still available so I could add that to the video. Basically you can enable it and if your gpu is having problems you can disable it but it will slightly reduce your quality. What it does is controlling the amount of B-frames used between 0 and the max you setup (so 2). B-frames increase your quality. The problem with fast-moving scenes is that the look-ahead function, which changes the amount of B-frames used, has to change that amount too often because so many different type of frames are being shown in a fast-moving scene. That's why it's better in more static scenes like board games etc. Hope this helps!

@@tuggerjaegger2886 Wel dan heb je geluk want ik/wij zijn van belgië! Het 'main audio device' is gewoon het apparaat naar waar je je pc geluid stuurt. Dus als je een headset gebruikt dan wordt al je pc geluid (programma's, games, yt etc) naar die headset gestuurd dus dan moet je in streamlabs obs ook je headset als main audio device instellen. Als je luidsprekers gebruikt dan zal je geluid naar die luidsprekers gestuurd worden en dan moet je in streamlabs obs die luidsprekers als main audio device instellen. Als je rechts onderaan je scherm op het luidspreker icoontje drukt (waar je je pc geluid stiller zou zetten) dan zal waarschijnlijk jouw audio apparaat weergegeven worden.
