I’m gonna get the elgato 4kx but when i usually stream on my pc, i use my headset that already has a mic to stream my microphone and the game audio in my ears. How will i be able to stream my microphone audio to obs but also hear the game through my ps5 (with no latency)? do i have to also get another microphone🫠 I’m planning on doing this for gta 6

I'm trying to record my microphone to a separate file so I could edit it in Audacity later. The desktop audio could stay in the video. I tried to separate the both's audio tracks (desktop in track 1 and audio in track 2), but the output only has the audio from track 1. I think that's because of my video editor. So because of that I thought, maybe just record it to a separate file, since that's what I actually need.

EDIT: I ended up just manually exporting the video's track as audio and editing it in Audacity. I initially had problems with actually seeing the tracks beside track 1 but my video editor just wouldn't play them all at once and I had to find the tracks for a little while.

These are my current OBS settings for streaming on YouTube at 1440p to get the VP9 codec, and the quality looks great during live streams.

My setup is an RTX 3060 Ti, Ryzen 7 5800X3D, and a 1080x1920 monitor. I experience no lag and get good FPS performance while gaming in fullscreen mode.

I have a question about my current bitrate of 51,000 Kbps. Would reducing it affect the stream quality on YouTube or Twitch?

I've found mixed opinions on this. Some people recommend keeping it at 51,000 Kbps, while others say it's unnecessarily high and that a lower bitrate would deliver virtually the same quality on both platforms.

What's your recommendation? Is there a noticeable quality difference between 51,000 Kbps and a lower bitrate?

Getting an error that's

Failed to initialize video:

Required graphics API functionality not found. Your GPU may not be supported.

It was working just fine literally yesterday. And before people suggest anything here's what I've already done:

• Changed the settings in the config from 4k to 1920x1080

• Uninstalled and reinstalled

• Checked to update my drivers

• Set OBS to "high performance" in my graphics settings

• Run as administrator

I'm using a modern AMD GPU, it's like two or three years old at most, so I know the problem isn't that. I can't provide a log because the software won't boot up.

When I use Zoom, I can select the OBS virtual camera as an option for video. However, when I log into Google Meet, OBS virtual camera does not appear as an option.

Has anyone else had this problem? I've restarted the computer, checked my system settings and permissions. Asking gemini did not work (just told me to restart and then to unclick boxes that didn't actually exist).

I'm running a Mac M1 on Sequoia 15.3.2.

OBS... BS

I have an issue with a death counter plugin that is behaving pretty eratically ( NOT erotically!). It works fine until I use the OBS built in soundbar system and play sound clips. During the duration of each sound clip the counter shows the number "-49" every time. Once the sound is over, the counter returns to the previous value. PLZ help!

Hello. I have a large collection of mp4 video files in VLC player that I want OBS to read their file names and display them in chat when a new one begins playing. I tried using Gemini for a solution and everything it told me to do did not work. Is there anyone out there who has done this before and could offer a solution? Thank you!

And it also freezes on a frame, if I use Window Capture.

Edit: I tested Display Cap and Audio Output Cap together and it works, instead of Game Capture for PCSX2 (only solution for now).

So I make YouTube videos and want the base screen double wide so my camera is next to my source for editing but I also stream and don’t want to have to keep reverting the canvas settings. Is there a way to keep the double wide setting to my YouTube recordings only? I tried two different profiles but the setting changes on both of them to be double wide.

I'm trying to record Alpha Saphhire for YouTube and game capture only works once. I need a second one to record both screens. If I add a second game capture, the second one just locks to the top left corner. I tried using window capture and display capture and they only work when the game isnt full screen. As soon as I go full screen, the captures stop capturing. Please help :(
