⏭️ Watch next: Introductory video to using OBS for screen recording (go from zero to hero): ua-cam.com/video/ySENWFIkL7c/v-deo.html
I'm still waiting for someone to make an actual complete tutorial for OBS. I've yet to see anyone cover not using a mic and/or camera of any kind, no video's anywhere if you don't want to record full screen and a massive majority seem to only want to talk about streaming and not just simple recording a window on the monitor...I am extremely frustrated by this lack of information. Not everyone is a streamer.
@@CalieFaeryl does this video help? It runs through all the fundamentals of recording: ua-cam.com/video/ySENWFIkL7c/v-deo.html
@@KevinStratvert No, that video only shows how to record in full screen and the cropping was only done for the camera recording.
Here's an example...you have 3 windows open on your desktop, you want to record one of those windows, doesn't matter if it's a browser window or a program you have running, all that matters is it's a window. You want to record that window without making it full screen and not have everything else on the desktop showing in the video.
I've been watching tutorial video's for almost 2 weeks, and have not seen one example of how to accomplish that.
My reason is to record Twitch video's that someone gave me permission to record, only way to do that, not use full screen and not have a tiny window, is to use the popout player, which I can make as large or small as I want, that is what I want OBS to pick up and nothing else. Using the url does not work in this example, as using it only picks up the original page and not the popout player. Using display capture records everything showing on the monitor, same with window capture.
@@CalieFaeryl Add Window Capture as the Source, then choose which window you want to capture.
@@KevinStratvert Hi Kevin I want to record a Powerpoint presentation with me in the corner small. I have managed the camera thing, but I am not able to set the screen to record the Powerpoint presentation. When you record, it records all these screens one in another. I am sure nobody wants to record and show that! Pse help!
Dude, you are a hero of today's digital world. I've been starting doing some online courses, and your OBS tips have shed light on my digital literacy! I thank you so much. Keep helping people with your content. Regards from Jakarta, Indonesia.
Finally! I always needed these tips and tricks for making my videos! Thanks Kevin!
Most of these features are awesome! Chroma key, Excellent!! Auto remux, Wow! Multiple audio tracks, Something i need these days!!!! Thanks kevin. You're the best
This whole time I was remuxing footage manually. What a game changer. Thanks for the awesome tutorial Kevin :)
Hi tyler
@@swastikszn1781 hey :)
I've also resorted to recording directly to mp4 especially when clips are shorter (1 - 3 min max). If it fails to record (which hasn't happened yet), it's simple to re-record.
@@KevinStratvert that’s also a great point. :)
Thanks a lot Kevin! Really helpful with the tips and tricks. Just started wanna try out using OBS and this video really ease me on learning new tricks
Thanks a lot for the video, I will definately check out zoom in tool.
Awesome video! New to OBS, but you just opened my eyes to endless possibilities. Thank you!
The tips that I loved are the 8th, 9th and the Bonus. Especially the Bonus👌. Amazing Video....
Thank you so much Kevin, you are indeed an amazing guy. Your content is always helpful especially this OBS tutorial and comparison with other services, it made my life so much easier. I keep telling everyone around me about your awesome channel…
Kevin! This Was Very Helpful! Oh Man. Love This! Keep up the Good Work!
Thanks!! I was searching for that Alt key crop tip everywhere. it just makes it bigger and smaller without alt so thanks!
Excellent tips. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!
Great video Kevin. Thanks for pulling out this video.
Thanks Kevin, amazing work you do here. Quick question: For this video, did you record audio separate from the screen recording and then layer it on top of each other with your video editing software? I am working on a course, I plan to screen record my slides and also transition to a video of me in between the slidd presentation. I am super confused here, and I don't want to over-engineer the process so I don't delay myself from publish it.
Thanks, Kevin ❤️😊 I love the tricks so much!
Hey Kevin, thanks 😊 for accepting my request and making this video and I'm quite happy! I would be more happy if you've had added the Webcam overlay on the recording screen 😄
Dude you read my mind, I was looking for exactly those tips. Thank you 👌
Ha, glad I could help 😁
I really love obs. For several years I searched around for a decent screen recorder that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Then I came across OBS.......very high level software!
So true!
Kevin, this video helped me a lot. Thanks for everything you do!
Hey Kevin….Tyrell here from South Africa great video don’t stop making them you simplify everything to the T thanks 🙏
Hi Kevin, thank you for the wonderful tips really helps me a lot. absolutely many thumbs UP for this video...
Thank you, Kevin! Always full of info!
these tips will make my next stream incredible . thanks kevin
Great to hear! 👍
This video was very helpful. Thank you!
THank for another BANGER tutorial video.
Excellent tips! Thank you!
Great video. I think I will set OBS to record direct in MP4, as I'm not worried about OBS or Zoom crashing.
Simple additional trick. To make floating graphics or titles in OBS, I set the PowerPoint background to bright green, and then apply ChromaKey. This is a dead simple way to do this, without having to learn (or remember) anything else about OBS or filmmaking.
I usually also record direct to mp4 especially when recording short clips. If you're recording a longer session, definitely worth considering mkv. Love the tip of using PowerPoint for motion graphics!
Hi this has been very very useful for me. Do you know how to capture keystrokes (pressing keyboard) when recording as well? That'd be very helpful for making tutorials. Thanks a lot again!
Thank You!
Hi Kev, love your vids about OBS Studio. Can you please add a video where and how to insert (alternating) Text to Videos with OBS, for example to do some tutorials with help text boxes. Thank you in advance!
I DONT KNOW HOW TO THANK U. YOU ARE A GOOD FRIEND AND TEACHER
Good video+ Amazing thumbnail too!
Yo, this video is from 2021 and IT'S STILL USELFUL
Wow great tips, thank you for sharing this video!
Nice one. Thanks for sharing
Great video Kevin!
Very useful video. thanks a lot!
Thanks for the vid. Good advice.
This was very helpful
Amazing. Thank you.
Keven, Very useful ! Thanks. Since I stream live in a classroom setting, using cameras and display documents, I have a large monitor to which I project OBS output via HDMI. Maybe you have already done a video on this. One little dialect matter: Pacific NW natives pronounce "I'll" as "Aww", which proves hilarious if understood.
You’re the best! Thanks buddy
Thank you Kevin. Nice video. I would love to see a video making a video, from concept to publish including edition which I guess you don't do with OBS.
Thanks for the tutorial
so honest and helpful friendly advice
Thank you sir for your great videos.

Thank you so much.
Great video, Kevin. Love the highlighted mouse cursor.
Question: how do I revert back to my normal mouse cursor when I'm not wearing my presenter / tutorial hat? It's making my daytime job a bit weird! LOL!
Amazing video and useful tips
Amazing.. Thanks for your help it is really very helpful content
Thank you very much
Yessss. I wanted this.
OBS is a game changer. I have never heard of "Zoom It" but I am definitely checking it out. Also hoping for an in-depth tutorial of "Zoom It" from you.
This is do helpful. The legend is just making us happier everytime he drops a video. 👏
Btw so happy to hear that you like us so much 😊
Bonne vidéo j'aime l'explication j'ai regarder toutes les vidéos
Hello, thank you very much for the educational videos that were posted on the site
Please guide me how to curve a movie in OBS ?
Thanks for all
Thanks you very much!
Is there a way to capture a part of the screen in OBS ? ( like we use screen capture software t capture browsers, but without all the toolbars, bookmark menus etc. ? )
Kevin, I like your tutorials. Very punchy and to the point. I want to know how to replicate your style? Do you have any tips on making neat videos? Personally I am flat out getting to the 30sec mark without having some sort of brain fart or interruption.
Apart from your natural narrative talent, what do you do to keep your videos on track and focused? Scripts? Lots of editing? Rehearsing? I'd very interested to learn.
This is a good informative video.
Hi Kevin another great video! You are doing great mate. I use obs for Church live streaming since the start of the pandemic. I would like to add that the undo feature was only added from version 27. I would be nice if you could do a video on obs ninja and its alternative one day.
YES
good tips - but last time I tested the hotkeys stopped working for me when OBS was not the top application under Windows 10 (last tested in May 2021). This made my homemade Arduino keyboard just for OBS nonfunctional.
A problem with cursor highlighting in the way you describe it using AutoHotkey is that it does not work when you capture a window instead of a screen in OBS.
If I try to do the crop method holding down the ALT key, dragging the red border causes image to shift within the red borders (I'm not referring to just moving it around on the canvas). I suspect I have some random setting that's causing this, but can't figure out what it is.
Thank you kelvin
Hi Kevin, thanks for such a great video on OBS screen recording. Can you please guide how can I record MS Excel workings while using OBS. It's much needed. Thanks for your support in advance. Regards,
Thanks Kevin!!!
Hi Kevin, I've watched some of your videos and found them quite informative ☺ but I have a problem and maybe you have the answer and as is: I have a Panasonic HC V 180 which I want to use as a Video capture source. I bought a video grabber, connected it to the computer (and the camera of course :-D) but when I open OBS I only get a test screen, I have tried some settings but none help. Any suggestions? Always nice to see that in videos & Tutorials all goes well without any problems ;-)
Thank you.
Kevin I like your videos a lot
This was great, but do you any tips on some of these that will work for MAC?
U r excellent, kevin.
Do u run your private online classes
Hey Kevin make a complete series on python it's high in demand and i really wants to learn about it. I m new to all language thing and u r my only hope.
Great video!!! Can OBS be used to transition between 2 live video sources performing at the same?
Just Awesome
Hi, I am following your YT channel for a lot of items and I truely have to thank you for all the efforts you have put into this. I know face the challenge of making a professional logo which maybe later on we can convert into an NFT. Maybe you have some advise.
Ohh wow!!
Thank you
Your videos are gems
Thank you for the tips and trickss!!! Can you please make a video how to post image coursal in Ig in PC
Love from India ❤
awesome tips
Thanks Kevin
Any tip to make over all OBS processing faster ? as in my case recording from DSLR (connected to USB) creating virtual cam using gphoto2 without GPU (using AMD radeon), there is a loss of sound while capturing. Using Ubuntu 18.04 on laptop.
Thanks!
Thanks so much Shelly! Much appreciated 🙏
You are the best. When I show your face in the thumbnail I can fully trust the video. But for the other videos I have to check the views,comments,dislike and so on😂😂
Kevin, excellent video! I tried Zoomit during both a video conference on Zoom and also on Chrome. Both times, both my webcam and the other person's webcam froze until I hit escape out of Zoomit. Is this a known bug? Otherwise, it's such a wonderful tool!
Kevin - I would like to know if it is possible to add a FACEtime call to OBS. So if I am in a TEAMS call can I loop in a Facetime call as well - USING a MBP for this as well?
Soooo.....to make sure I'm understanding, by recording multiple audio tracks, I can do a voice over for a video AFTER I finish the initial recording? I'm trying to do or start a video recording of a doodle to start. I want to do the voice over later. Also, I will most likely be recording multiple videos and putting them together for one large video....or something to that affect. Would I still be able to do all of that in OBS? Including doing fade outs and fade ins, or would I use other software for that? I watched a video earlier today about some free software for editing which I might have to try. But ... dang! This is sooo new to me and sooo intimidating.
The control z is a game changer, can you make a full video on obs ninja?
Thanks for the suggestion! I've added this to my list. Stay tuned. Cheers!
Stream Ninja, omg the possibilities!
Tons of quality of life tips, thanks for the video Kevin!
Good explanation sir, Can you please make a tutorial video for TABLEAU
Thanks for the suggestion! I've added this to my list. Stay tuned. Cheers!
Kevin is such a wonderful guy.
Next you need to help us all out with some good (and free) editing software. Thanks for the help with OBS : )
Hi how to draw rectangular shapes or circles while using obs screen recording. Can you please explain
Can we agree Kevin proves OBS can do everything again and again and again and again!
haha, it's very powerful 😂
@@KevinStratvert What to do...but not as powerful as kevin. Kevin has some unknown power that gives him 200% energy for "Hi Everyone Kevin Here". I feel that :)
0:00 - Hello Kevin. 👋
8:39 - 388th like from me. 👍 Cheers.
hi everyone todaaay, it always makes me so happy
Hey! Great tutorial, the thing with having multiple cameras was smart but can you share your screen. Let’s say me and my friend are playing and I wanna show his pov to the stream
You are grate 👌👌👌
After record by OBS, which application do you use for video editing, Kelvin? I need zoom it in/out and add text, add some sounds like a keyboard typing.
