  • Set OBS to start and end recording like an old VCR. Sometimes you might need to create a simple script to get this to work. More specifics on how to do that are available at sheekgeek.org/2...

    Thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for. For those having trouble with getting it working, here's what I found: if you are logged in with a non-admin user account that it doesn't work; if you are logged in as admin, it works.

      I don't think the task scheduler can control the details of a program like teams unless The program has those options built into a command line interface. You might be able to find an app that can record macros on your computer and then record yourself clicking on a team's call. Then you can try to schedule. When you expect that call to pop up it can run the macro but I would not be any help with that. Good luck!

    • @chunhoutan4278

      that is the multi instance flag. Without this OBS will warm you if you already have one instance of OBS and you have to confirm whether you want to launch another instance. Then the auto recording will not start as the new instance is not launched until you press confirm. Basically you just put the flag there for safety purpose, who knows when you start the recording you forgot to close your OBS, then your recording will fail.

    • @adamharris6557

      As far as I can tell, there's no way to trigger recording in an already opened instance of OBS. That's why I came up with this method as a workaround.

      Without startrecording it just opens OBS but doesn't record anything. The -m allows me to have "multiple" OBS windows opened at once. I recorded this video in OBS so if I didn't add that it wouldn't have worked on my computer. You don't have to have the -m

      I had a similar issue with this on another laptop. Basically, I just wrote a bash script that calls OBS, then I set the task to open that batch script. I'll post a more detailed tutorial on my website that you can copy/paste to get it to work.
