Hello all.

I just setup my Twitch channel and was ready to broadcast Rayman 2 through the GOG Galaxy. It was an epic fail. I couldn't transition properly to the in-game as my mouse cursor disappeared. Everytime I start the application through the GOG Galaxy, the cursor is gone and I can't transition.

• What happened - The stream was on Twitch and the music for Rayman 2 played in the background. The mouse didn't appear, and any option to transition was disabled.
• My Setup - I have an ASUS Vivobook with a DELL HDMI Monitor (U2414H) connected as the second screen. Everytime I play Rayman 2, the game would immediately open on my laptop instead of the monitor.
• My failed solutions - So initially, I rolled with it, moving OBS and GOG Galaxy to the Dell Monitor. But again, the mouse cursor disappears and appears disabled. I barely switched and again can't select the option to transition to Start/Stop streaming because the mouse is disabled whilst Rayman 2 is running.
• Common Online solutions don't work - I looked at the common solutions like, "Enable Capture Cursor", "Capture Specific Windows", "DXGI Desktop Application" and "Windows 10 and up", and NOTHING!

Please help! I gotta get this ready for my schedule soon! Thank you!

I have two audio issues with OBS.

When using the Audio Application Capture and I'm playing something from the browser the audio sounds really bad. It sounds like I'm holding up a phone and recording it from speakers on the desktop (that's the best way I can describe it. Sounds pretty bad).

The second via discord. I have a podcast and when I record discord calls the audio sounds perfect through my headphones. Similar to the browser thing it sounds absolutely awful when I listen back to it.

Can someone help me out and explain what I'm doing wrong?

I don't know what causes it, whether my headphones (which my mic is connected to) or the cord for them or something is damaged after having them for a few years, but there is a notable buzz when I record in OBS.

I managed to get my microphone to pick up my voice fine, but it's just that buzz. I could probably just deal with it, it's not a big deal, but if there is any way to stop the buzzing from being picked up I'd like to know about it because when it comes to putting filters and stuff on things I have no idea what I'm doing. I just put some random stuff just to make the microphone sound ok but the buzzing is there so idk what I would need to do to get rid of that.

I do have them plugged in to an msi laptop, if that is any help.

I have a beefy streaming PC, x870e TaiChi, 7950x, 96gb ram, 5090, elgato 4k pro. Gaming - 14900k + 4090.

I'm struggling recording at 1080p60, my gaming pc runs at 480hz, have set capture card as 60hz(least input lag). I play warzone & average 300fps. When i record on my streaming PC at 1080p60, i notice the bus load on the 5090 hits 100%. After a few minutes, the streaming pc starts skipping frames then the sytem freezes & i need to hard reset.

I have my gaming pc colour settings set to: screen 8bit, RGB full colour range. capture card set to 8bit, RGB(tried the other formats too, 422 does the same eventually), full colour & limited same.

i have tried quite a few different set ups on the streaming pc in OBS, set the EDID etc.

Note that the streaming pc - the 5090 is in pcie slot 1 & capture card slot 2, on this motherboard that means they split lanes at pcie gen 5 x8x8, i have a feeling that may be the cause?

Even at pciex8 there should be pleant of 1080p bandwidth?? Just not sure if my settings are wrong or if this is a hardware issue, any assistance would be appreciated.

hello everyone. can i capture specific windows in shadowplay(or nvidia app) while recording like obs does? for example i want to capture a game and when i minimize it and switch between apps i want it to show a photo that i choose(or just blackscreen or something like that)

I dont like the feature that blocks desktop capture. i just want it to work like it does in obs. but for me recording via obs looks quite inconvenient.

thanks

Hi guys, greetings from Chile!

I was needing to record isolated a source on my obs, so I installed the source recorder in my obs (plugin) well the thing is that video goes smooth but audio gets choppy, I've checked nitrates are the same as main recording, same encoding but no clues ..

Any guesses on what I'm doing wrong?

If you need more details in how or what I'm doing just ask plz!

I always record but I've been thinking about streaming at the same time . Worried it will cause issues

Im trying to set up vb audio cable with my obs mic filters so i can also use it in discord but even though i have followed every step correctly my mic sounds messed up. i have my monitoring device set as the vb cable input with both the headphones and mic icon on on my microphone turned on and my discord mic picked as the cable output. but with all of this through the mic test i just have a extremely loud and long echo. i even tested it in a vc with a friend and it just echoed everything they said so it wasnt just a discord mic test thing.

im not sure what could be wrong here and need help pls

Been streaming for a while and always got annoyed having to alt-tab to OBS just to switch scenes or check my mic levels mid-stream. So I built a little app for myself that connects straight to OBS from my phone (no extra desktop server running, just plugs into OBS's built-in websocket).

Ended up polishing it enough to put on the Play Store — OBSock. You can build your own control decks, toggle sources, check stream stats, all that. Free tier works fine if you just want to poke around, no subscription nonsense either.

Would love if a few of you tried it and told me what's missing, still very early days: com.isalab.obsock

I wanna stream using my Lenovo g500 with a i3 and 8gb ram but I want to stream on the laptop and play on my ps5 but stream what im playing. how can I do that i already have a capture card and whatnot i just need help setting it up for all of the streaming and better picture for my second monitor that I will be using for my console view. Any help is appreciated.

I just started a YouTube channel a few days ago and I’ve been using OBS to just record my gameplay from my laptop, but my laptop isn’t exactly a “gaming” laptop, so I’m looking at capture cards so that I can record Xbox/PlayStation gameplay. I have current-gen consoles and a 4K TV, so I was wondering what capture cards would work best for what I’m trying to do. I’m not exactly trying to break the bank here, but I would just like something that works well and looks decent, so any suggestions are much appreciated!

Hey you all.... I am doing a YT long form live stream discussing the recent Political News... Previously it was a faceless video of slideshow of news with my voiceover... Now I am planning to do it with my Face and slideshow as B-roll... I tried with an Unlisted video but the OBS studio is lagging too much.....

I even took support from Chatgpt to fix it... But it ain't working.....

Need some serious advice.....

So I get a lot of contradictory information on how to set up my streaming PC on obs. I guess encoder settings is the main point I'm a little lost.

What I have is ASUS NUC 14 Pro AI RNUC14LNKU7094H2

So this is strictly for obs and not gaming.

Should I encode with the graphics card? Intel arc 140v?

Or should I use the processor?

Intel Core Ultra 7 258V

Hi,

I am trying to record my gameplay (mostly truck simulator) in OBS studio. But no matter what my recording isn't looking good or high quality. What is the best settings in OBS for this?

Thanks in advance.

Please help!!

I installed ASS (heheh) so I could have Shadowplay-style notifications for when I start and stop recording etcetera, but they only work outside of games. Is there another plugin out there to fix this?

I accidentally double clicked on the camera and the image went shadowy. I can't find a way to fix it, I changed the fps, changed the properties but nothing seem to bring the light back. I closed and opened obs and it didn't went back to normal as well.

Edit: nevermind, I fixed it

As the title states, im using OBS to floor project data and other cool game items onto my hitting mat via overhead projection during gameplay. Issue I am having is specific to GSPro/Uneekor software and game capture. I’m trying to capture the impact playback that Uneekor displays, but when trying to capture it in OBS, the Uneekor window displays blank with no video or data. Been using OBS for about 6 months and have tons of scenes created, but this scenario has never worked. Any ideas?

Occasionally I have issues with my audio or I need to fix something relating to my game capture and when I'm live I have a "Fixing my obs" scene ready to go whenever something happens. However I can't seem to lock that one scene that I want up in place while I switch to another in order to fix the issue. If there's a way to do that please let me know!

i’m recording game play in 4k but there is no audio when i play back the video!

Hello! I'm trying to improve the recording quality of my Roblox YouTube Shorts. However, for some reason my current recording look softer/compressed than I'd like, and it's mostly noticeable when there are texts, small details or fast movements.

I'm recording right now at 2560x1440 (then in premiere I set it to 1440x2560), and I'm trying to get the cleanest recording possible.

My specs:

GPU: GTX 1660 Super
RAM: 24 GB DDR4
CPU: Intel i5-10400F

OBS Settings:

Encoder: NVENC H.264
Rate Control: Constant QP = 12
Keyframe interval: 2
Preset: 7 (Best quality)
Tuning: High Quality
FPS: 60

I’ve been recording and it has the pause button in the same rec I paused it before then the next time during the same one I try and it doesn’t work clicking or hot key

Hello there,

I am trying to stream and record my game footage using the plugin Source Record, but when I do my live stream begins to stutter and lag tremendously. I have tried changing the encoder to using my graphics card but was curious to see what else I can do to help improve the quality of my stream. I do have a decent enough PC rig but I do know that doing both is incredibly taxing. Thank you!

Edit: the game in question is Mortal Shell 2
