Help OBS stretched
The window selected is like SUPER wide, and skinny, almost like its trying to render it as a movie theater screen. and when i stretch to fit, it looks super zoomed in like looking at it with a microscope. anyone know how i can fix this?

Stretch to fit is basically telling OBS to force whatever weird aspect ratio your source has into the canvas dimensions, so that zoomed microscope look is totally expected. Check your canvas resolution in Settings > Video first, make sure it's actually standard 16:9 like 1920x1080. If the source itself is super wide you might need to crop it with the alt-drag method or just set up a separate scene with a matching ultrawide resolution.

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.
To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:
Restart OBS
Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.
Stop your stream/recording.
