    • @ChrisTutorialsYT
      @ChrisTutorialsYT  4 роки тому +1

      That would depend much more on what resolution and bitrate you set in the settings and how intensive your game is. I think you can safely use game capture with no drawbacks. Gotta make sure your computer meets the specs to play the game and then some for the video encoding.

I'm asking as these 2 captures have very different graphic processors so it possible to switch graphic processors during stream?

    Hi Chris,
    Your videos are really informative so thought you would help me for one issue which I am facing while recording on OBS.
    Issue is - In Source, I have added a) PPT Presentation, b) Chrome Browser and c) File Explorer. While starting recording, it captures only first source in the source list from three but it DOESN'T capture ALL 3 windows when I toggle them between recording. Can you please help - how to record all 3 sources (a+b+c) in full screen size.
    Thanks in advance.

    • @marcusarygmail
      @marcusarygmail 3 роки тому

      If u look at the bottom of the source window there is an up and down arrow. Those buttons control the "layering" of ur sources. Like how u get a camera in the bottom right or left on top of a game. Sources need to be layered properly. It sounds like making scenes, the box to the left of the source box would be better for you. You make a new "scene", setting up your chrome source for instance. Then make a new scene with your next source and so on. Then you simply click a scene while recording to automatically switch to that source.

      No that is an audio source. Right click and make sure to unhide all of your audio sources. Then select and adjust the one you use to listen to the game itself. Ie, your headphone source if u use headphones or even desktop audio if needed. Then hide the rest of them.
