- 15 OBS Things You (Might) Do Wrong Everyday and how to improve this.
1) Choose the wrong frame rate for your content (30fps vs 60 fps)
2) Select the wrong resolution for your canvas vs output scaled resolution
3) Auto-enable “Global Audio Devices” which causes resource issues and doubling
4) Use Simple mode vs advanced mode in the “Output” tab
5) Select NVENC encoder if it is available vs x264
6) Manually selecting settings for Recording vs streaming
7) Increasing audio bitrate to 320 to double quality
8) Livestream to one platform when you could be streaming to multiple and growing faster
9) Put everything into one scene rather than splitting into multiple scenes
10) Not using mic filters to make yourself sound better
11) Not syncing your audio and video using Advanced audio properties
12) Not muting and hiding irrelevant audio sources in your mixer
13) Using studio mode when you don’t actually need it
14) Not streaming at the right bitrate
15) Not checking your stats on a test stream/recording in “View” → stats

The single best every OBS video tutorial ever made! Awesome! Thank you so much!
Thank you Awall for this in depth pro tips to better OBS. As a Canadian Military Veteran 27.5 years of service and disabilities from my military service, I use OBS , Live Elements and Now because of your expert advice Restream. I try to help other veterans, USA / CANADA in filing claims to VAC " Veterans Affairs" for their disabilities all the while streaming a game, be it Star Citizen, Call of Duty or ONE on ONE. This is invaluable advice and FREE, whats not to like. I may be taking you up on a Phone call / video for support advice in the near future for moving this even better and father. THANK YOU so much for making this video Andrew.
Super high quality value on OBS! Really appreciate the time and effort in this. This is gold. Seen several things I need to up my OBS settings game on.
Glad it helped!
Great TIPS.
#14 is actually Megabits not Megabyte. - Megabit /Gigabit are used for speed and network measurement. Megabyte/Gigabyte are used for storage and file sizes.
Correct
And if you want to convert between the two, Megabyte -> Megabit multiply by 8; Megabit -> Megabyte divide by 8
And byte is capital B (megabyte is MB), while bit is lower case b (megabit is Mb). Other than that this is a GREAT video. I'm going to be spending a couple of hours with it to fix up my OBS! Thank you!!!
That was bothering me too. I really doesn't make a difference in this video, but in most cases, there is a big difference (8x) between x bits/sec and x Bytes/sec.
checked the comments just to make sure i wasn't crazy on this one. thanks for confirming.
You're awesome. Appreciated waiting 5min until throwing in the sponsor and also keeping things super professional and brief as possible with enough info.
This is amazing information, all these little settings are what tripped me up the most when I started streaming, and I couldn’t find all this info in one place. Thank you, I’m going back to check all my settings again! 🙌🏽👏🏽🙏🏽
Bravo! my man. Bravo! Thank you so much for the clear and concise helpful tips. I will be implementing most of them ASAP. You are a gem. Thank you so much.
A practical and helpful check list. Thankyou.
You really helped me a lot and I appreciate the gems you dropped, time and passion you put in this video for us.
You really helped me with the audio device part because I had double audio and extra microphones like you said thanks for that.
Such a valuable set of recommendations. Haven't started yet but now I am excited
I'm 56 and have been struggling with all this stuff and I just want to say that you are awesome. Thanks.
Awesome video! Thank you for all of the tips!
Lots of great points even for someone using OBS for over a year now daily. I’m going to have to make some changes!
Thank you.
thanks for sharing. You do have the best quality video studio I have ever seen. Very pleasant to listen to you.
Explaining the different scenes was very useful, I always wondered how people did that so easily. Nothing I had seen so far about setting up OBS mentioned separating scenes. edit: A little tip for others, I created a new scene with a second sound source one day, and this created a reverb effect in my stream which I personally couldn't hear until I played it back later. The stream was over an hour long and no one said anything! Always do a test recording of your settings to see how things might look and sound before you go live.
Wow very helpful thank you!
Dude, how the hell do you have only this many subs and views on this video? This is such quality content omg, thank you so much for the tips!
Really great list, esp dropping down upload speed. I see so many people push max and wondering why they have issues. Id say using noise gate filter is a better fit for this video than noise suppresion filter regarding mic, Suppression has weird CPU/GPU priority that causes robot voices on some set-ups. Awesome list! One of the best I've seen!
Great videos man.. Getting more info than I expected..!!
Thanks for pointing these things out , just started streaming and your pointers are very usefull.
AWALL, I'm a new subscriber after watching this video. This is very informative and helpful. Then I watched some of your other videos and I am thrilled with the quality insight that you have to offer. You are the man! Thank you and I will watch for those notifications.
All the best,
- Robert
Thanks! Working, liked :)
Great tips, always professionally done with a bit of humor. Thanks
You are the first comment on this new channel!
Microphone settings (Comressor, limiter, etc.) are personal, there isn't a single best setting like you preach. Should've explained each slider to ease that process.
A tip from me: Scenes, Sources, Buttons, ... panels are all draggable, and can be moved to those empty wasted grey areas around preview window. Then OBS takes less space, can appear next to live chat window and fit. If you're inspecting some little detail and need to zoom in on preview: pop it out into separate window (right-click).
Hello my brother. I just wanted to say a massive thank you for this video. You have selflessly shared very good info that helps nubies like myself put out good quality videos. I have just started (as a complete novice) putting out sermons and by God's Grace other Christian content for my church I believe this will help my church's members who regularly tune in, and anyone else seeking biblical truths, access good quality, biblical content. Again; a massive thank you, and may our heavenly Father bless your channel so that you will continue to be prosperous, and charitable to your viewers. If government leaders were half as thoughtful for the common man as you, God's battle to protect us from evil would no doubt be, less difficult.. God bless and keep up the good work.
Thank you for great tips! I watch your videos from Japan! Many videos explained in Japanese are inadequate, so these are very helpful.
You're very welcome!
Many Thanks! Some great tips...off now to do some fine tuning and testing...👍
Have fun!
Excellent video!!
Great video. I wish I had seen something like this when I first started. #16 could be fast. Ultrafast etc settings for people with varying computing power. Solves a lot of issues for beginners. But everything you mentioned was spot on. I sub’d just to help support your channel since this is an unusually high value bit of info compared to most people on UA-cam who talk mostly of basic scene creation. Good stuff best of luck with all you do.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent Thank you Best on here for tech and so helpful, Thank you 😀
Wow. People actually use just one scene for everything? I knew, day 1, that I had to create multiple scenes. Great video.
That’s me…😂 everything in one scene …..😅piano, metronome, my face and musical staff. No wonder my obs crashes. This video is so informative ❤
Hey thanks, you just showed an almost seventy-year-old woman, and art teacher, how to even begin to understand how to use OBS. Now I just need to add my iPevo document camera and/or GoPro and use it all within zoom and I will up my gain at least tenfold!!
Excellent tutorial
Best damn OBS help vid I've experienced so far. Content just rocks!!
Thank you so much!
Great video!
One thing I wish OBS had was something similar to what Pro Tools does. You can hide a channel strip in PT and you can hide and disable a channel as well. I used that all the time when I’m tracking or mixing. I wish you can disable and hide audio tracks as well instead of muting them. As an extra precaution, I also lower the volume to 0 to the audio sources I don’t use in OBS as well.
What! Where have you been Awall? Your content rock man. Have not seen such an incredible channel in a very long time.
This guy is absolutely amazing and I've learned a ton. Thank you! Though, I did notice this video stagger and stutter a few times due to some of the performance settings he suggests. Also, when he says "megabytes" referring to your upload rate, he should have said "megabits". Subtle difference but important. Internet speed is measured in bits per second, and 1 byte = 8 bits. When making your quality performance calculations this makes a huge difference.
This is great. Thank you for all you do. One thing I've always been curious about I can't find an answer to is how to best scale a camera feed. My camera is 1080p60, but I resize it in most scenes. Should I be using a 'scale/aspect ratio' filter? Or just manually resize it? Not sure what the optimal method is for both picture quality and performance.
Thanks buddy, it worked
Thank you for such great video.
Our pleasure!
Great stuff. Noob question: If you don’t use studio mode, how do you transition between scenes?
Excellent tutorial! I wish I found this video 2yrs. ago when started my channel and wouldn't have to experience all the issues you pointed out (especially audio echos, audio/video syncing, etc.). For 4k recording, is there a recommended common FPS value?
...thank you soooo much....informative!...
Good stuff brother
Sorry, late to the party here, but loving your vids. Quick question though, I thought the ToS for Twitch prevented you from streaming live to another platform at the same time? Is this just an affiliate/partner restriction, or did I miss something? Cheers!
awesome thank you so much fam audio is mint now
Thanks great help with OBS setup. I would have never figure this out myself.
Thanks bro 😎
Brother!!! All of those items are going to help me . Thank you
This dude is awesome!
Ok, so why did I only find your channel now. Awesome stuff!
Omg thank you so much. I am using Obs for recording, taking most of my post production out by doing most things live. I had really good video but choppy audio. I couldnt understand why bc the audio from my rodecaster I would have to take the audio from my rodecaster pro and synch it up in post production.
I JUST WATCH YOUR CHANNEL FOR THE FIRST TIME IS SO MUCH INFO THANK YOU THE BEST THING IS YOU SPEAK SLOW AND UNDERSTANDABLE FOR NOT NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS THANKS
Great video - thanks a lot! On MacBook: which encoder do vou recommend? X264 or Apple-VT-H264-Hardwareencoder or Apple-VT-H264-Softwareencoder to take the load off the processor ?
Are you using the Epic Pen app to annotate on screen?
Do you have a video about your annotation implementation? Thanks!
Hi, Love your video's! My cameras and capture card are all 1920x1080 60fps (I do virtual cycling classes). When I output to ZOOM should I keep my Output at 1920x1080 or change it to a different setting?
Waooo ! Thank you sooooo much for sharing all these informations !
Thank you
Hi Awall great tips! Thanks.. How do you make a setting the on screen demo as background with you on the right of it? With OBS also or use another apps? Please reply.. Thank you so much..
Little John Military Vet. and Photo Enthusiast for about 20+ plus years, as WE, all know everything is either video, streaming or digital. So, I've been adapting and trying digital and I've been wanting to also do the streaming thing
Bottom line!!... I just spent several hours watching others and " Your Video is Awesome to the point and easy to understand.. I just shared it some of my Battle Buddies, Keep up the Awesome work and I subcribed looking forward to more information.
Thanks LJSxxx-23
Outstanding! thx! will definitely come back to you if i drive into lssues i can’t solve and wich do shred so much time uselessly.
Happy to help!
You videos are amazing. No BS, I have learned so much in such a short period of time - thank you! Do you have any suggestions (or videos) on incorporating either an eGPU or a separate "gaming" machine into my setup? right now I'm using my work laptop (macbook pro) primarily for feeding zoom through OBS. At times it can get glitchy and I can hear the fan screaming for mercy. I suspect a better setup would be to separate them and use the laptop primarily for powerpoint or whatever I'm demonstrating in my web browser and then have OBS, Zoom, my DSLR webcam and mic coming into a separate system. Thank you again, guilty as charged of at least half of the above offenses!
thank you for your question and thank you for sparking a new video idea , surely in the we will make a video about this!
@@notcorruptmedia That would be awesome, and timely. Could you do something about the cost of gaming/streaming PCs and components while you're at it? ;)
Thanks for all of these tips😃 I need to do some adjustments 😂
Youre a hero !! 😂
After the audio point I almost quit watching. Been trying to solve that problem for years. It was right in my face the whole time. Thank you.
Question about mic filters for you do I add filters on OBS if I have a GOXLR and set my audio up already? Will it cause any reverb or feedback?
Cool thanks
VERY GOOD !!! :-)
Thank you for everything.
You are so welcome!
Broooooo you are the absolute GOAT 🐐
it's perfect man
Do not use simple! Man , you are a great teacher!
Very helpful tips but do these setup work for iMac computer ?
I use virtual camara obs for streaming with Stream Yard. This OBS-settings are also useful ? Or Stream Yard is regulating all this settings?
Any reason why you recommend constant bitrate for recording instead of constant quality?
GREAT Video but if i disable all audio devices i lose my "desktop audio" so how do i setup the audio stuff after?
Thanks for the guide, at least you've convinced me that I'm 90% ok :). All that's left to do is to change the codec setting when recording to manual and not the default one from the stream. :)
ps. I use mkv and convert to mp4. I have heard that an interrupted recording (unfinished, some crash obs, etc.) may not be openable in MP4, but in MKV there is no such problem. The rights are ?
I was messing with the canvas size yesterday because I wanted to test streaming in 4K. OBS won't allow a canvas size bigger than the screen's current resolution. So, I can't stream 4K from my 1080P laptop. I had to use my desktop screen which is wide 5K screen, and force it to 4K.
Is it not better to have canvas and output both to the streaming resolution so less transcoding is needed?
The way you talk man it's killing me... in a good way haha
Bravo
How in the hell did you get yourself to look so big in your OBS? And how did you remove your room's background? Niiiice!!
is using the graphic card for output the same for mac ... don't think it uses Nvidia, by the way. your info is AWESOME and Life saving
14:50 I downloaded the audio track of this UA-cam video (192kbps). UA-cam doesn't allow 320kbps so it's pointless to set that high, unless your profile is ripping audio from games.
can you make a video for how to used nvidia broadcast 1.4 on gtx GPU for eye contact.
I have one question. My canvas screen is a 5120x1440 samsung ultrawide but it wont let me have a 1920x1080 output (scale). are there any ways around that so i dont lose any of the size of my main screen. or do i say bugger it and set them both to 1920x1080 and call it a day. lol
Couldnt find the awall podcast channel you mentioned.
I have only one sound input/audio source in OBS, and that's Wave Link Stream. I route all my audio through Wave Link, mic, browser, game audio, everything that I can route through Wave Link I do
And from what you've said, I should technically be able to stream at a bitrate of about 25000? My upload speed is about 290 Mbit/s or ~36 MB/s.
Just to be sure that I am understanding this correctly. My upload speed was 123 Mbps. Therefore, my streaming bitrate (max) is 70% of that x 1000 = approx. 26,000 Kbps. Correct? If so, then I can then adjust
my recording output bit rate to a higher rate than that? What rate would you then suggest I adjust my recording bitrate to? Thanks for your input. This video is fantastic. I will be following you from here on out as I try to dive into the world of content creation.
hey mate thanks for reaching out about this so your recording bitrates depends on what gpu you have i mean is it from nvidia or amd? but if its from nvidia a value of 60,000 would be perfect as 60,000 is the limit of the nvenc encoder! above than that will not be not doing anything as the gpu will only be using 60,000 only
@@notcorruptmedia Thanks for the reply. I currently have nvidia GEForce RTX 2060 series GPU. I have adjusted my recording bitrate to 60,000. Thanks again for your help and very informative and entertaining channel. I,m sure I will have more questions down the road.
Lots of great, factual info. However, your audio sync is off by approximately -0.300s. You might want to fix that.
So i changed all of my audio to 360 and lost my background source, it says it is now inactive, i have tried to make it active again, but it won't activate. i changed everything back to 160 and it is still inactive. thx
love the prana hat
I have 500mbps upload and download for 50€, should i be streaming at 300 000 kbps then?
Great vid!
Let me ask you something. When you discuss internet speed, you say MBps not Mbps [big B vs little b]. Do you mean megabytes or megabits?
Internet transmission speed is generally measured by megabits/ps [Mbps].
Megabytes [MBps] are 8x that of Mbps (1Byte = 8 bits) so that number doesn't really translate well since internet speed has been much slower than motherboard architecture bus speeds constructed in the past 30 yrs. But that's changed with internet phase/amplitude shifting and improved main board bus speeds.
Bottom line: I translate 5 MBps as 40 Mbps. So I just want to make sure I'm interpreting the modern-day vernacular correctly since I'm of the generation where the 56k modem prevailed.
I would like to hire you for an hour or so. I set everything up as i thought you suggested, now my output volume is so low i can't even hear it... i started backtracking and now im in a terrible mess. 🙏 please, can you help
I’m trying to use OBS with my ATEM 810 mini pro iso video switcher for live streaming.
OBS will identify NDI, my webcam. Yet OBS doesn’t see my ATEM.
I’m running Mojave 10.14.6 on my mid 2013 laptop.
Blackmagic is telling me I’m not supposed to be able to stream using 8.6 with Mojave. I might need to uninstall this newer version of the ATEM software and use this older version which might allow me to have OBS see my ATEM 810..
You should only use restream if you are not twitch affiliate thank you for the audio i know the rest :D
