- 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.
dope brother! Thanks for the tip!
How to make a schedule to close OBS or any other running apps? Appreciated for any help
Thank you so much! Exactly what I wanted. Didn't know the scheduler could trigger the beginning of a recording with "add arguments" option. I used to think it is only good for starting programs!
how obs stop streaming and start streaming repeat? Thanks for your Kind Response!💐💐🙏🙏
How to make a schedule to close OBS , i want to it open record and close automatically ! thanks you so much!
Schedule a TASKKILL command to close the app
I added details to the blog post. Click the link in the video description
The automatic stop recording is what I was looking for... Thanks! - the rest is also beneficial
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. Do you know if I have to disable the Windows energy-saving mode to prevent the screen from getting shut off?
Mine worked with the screen off. I just had to disable the computer from going to sleep.
@@JaphethCampbell thank you!
there is a way exactly the same but start recording without open a multiple obs ? because the obs is already opened in my pc all the time just to record automatically ?
Thanks for the great video, its perfectly working.Could you please suggest how to automate microsoft teams call , I want to automate joining of a MS team invite and trigger OBS training. The training is in odd time ,so what to join call and automate the training, Thanks in advance.
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!
How would you edit it to start streaming over recording? I see how to stop it in the timer. But how does it start a stream?
I am looking to have my youtube start same time streaming. But unsure the task setting Thank You.
I added how to do this to the webpage linked in the description since a lot of people asked about it. Check it out.
How can we use this, or else, to start and end multiple overlapping live streams of pre recorded videos ?
Awesome! You helped me so much!
Hi Adam, thank you for the good tutorial.
I have only one screen, and when the OBS start recording it is shown on the screen and cover the Kodi program I want to record.
Is there a way to start the OBS recording in minimized window?
In OBS Open Settings, under General tab > System Tray, select "Minimize to system tray when started"
Can you elaborate why you added the -m at 2'30" please?
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.
@@chunhoutan4278 i need auto start streaming no one knows how?
I just updated the page on my blog with a section describing how to stream, check out the link in the description
i followed everything but instead of recording on my already opened obs, it launches another one then it starts recording and i dont want that. how can i record on my already opened obs? teach me pls
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.
how i can schedule record to start at specific time ?
this helped me so much!!! THANK YOU
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Is it possible to type “start streaming” instead of “start recording”. We are looking for ways to automatically stream our church services without always needing someone behind the wheel so to speak.
I think I have that on my website I linked in the description, but if not, I know I saw it I've in a OBS forum post.
great informatic video sir... thank you
Could you please tell me that, why you have typed --startrecording -m ??????? Does it required for all other applications to start automatically ???
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
is it possible to specify a scene to record?
thanks for this, I tried it over and over step by step, and OBS does not start recording at all... any tips on what I'm doing wrong?
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.
Here's the link with the workaround script sheekgeek.org/2022/adamsheekgeek/setting-obs-to-start-and-stop-recording-automatically
@@adamharris6557 Thanks for insight.How can Obs start and stop after every 1hour continously for purposes of splitting recordings in 1hour without manual intervention.
@@afrolinkspremier2290 Just set your task to start every hour and set OBS to stop after 1 hour. Make sure to use the "multiple" tag on the task command like I showed (it's the -m)
@@afrolinkspremier2290 You can set the task to be scheduled for once every hour. There's a drop down in the scheduled task options to allow for repeated operation.
Thank you
thans bro but i cant figure out how i can join a zoom automatically do you had any idea ?
Sorry, I have no clue on that
amazing! thanks so much
I have a question, it is possible to launch an obs record when a discord call is started ?
It might be possible with an AutoHotKey script like this one: obsproject.com/forum/threads/start-recording-automatically-when-specific-window-is-active.140477/
@@adamharris6557 Thank you su much !
Is it possible to get OBS to automatically start and end live streaming to youtube on a weekly basis i.e. every Sunday at midday for 30mins, Thanks
I'm pretty sure I have that on my website linked in the description, but if not, I know I saw it on an OBS forum. Make sure you set the task to repeat and change three commands to "streaming"
Thank you
