I've been using OBS to record youtube tutorials. I don't use any streaming, just for local recording. Consistently I've been experiencing that the videos will have spots about every 2-3 minutes where the video will freeze, audio continues, for 5-10 seconds and then resume. I've checked the...

Hi, I got myself a new 2018 Mac Mini (Mojave 10.14.6) and set up OBS to stream Starcraft 2. Playing the game, I had 200+ FPS, but once I did a test stream with OBS my in-game FPS stays at 60. Now even when I play the game without OBS running it flickers between 59-60 FPS as if there was some...

Hi I was using OBS a few days ago and It was working fine. But when I adjusted the resolution and I assume that I made an error it started to act funny. Now every time that I open the application I get this following message "Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported, or your...

Hi! Since yesterday, where i had to force quit obs because my mac was crashing, i can not connect my obs to my twitch anymore and these is this message appearing: Failed to authenticate with Twitch: Failed to get token from remote: SSL certificate problem: certificate has expired and this...

so obs is up to date, and discord and my soundboard (ableton) are in the same audio output (multi output device). i can hear everything that comes from ableton just fine, but the discord audio is super distorted. It happens when ableton is closed and the audios are separate, but no matter what...

TLDR: What are the best settings when you can't do 1080p. I've been streaming at 720p/60fps just fine on my M1 MacBook Pro. I was using 3500 Bitrate, and Base Canvas + Output Scaled where set to 720p + CPU Usage Preset 'veryfast'. On average OBS was running at 27% to 35% at a push. I always ran...

I recently bought an Elgato capture card HD60 S+ for streaming my Xbox. I have a MacBook Air with all the right specs so should be fine, however as soon as I plug My capture card into my monitor and mac and load it up in Obs, it’s just a frozen picture of my game and doesn’t move. Please help as...

The hardware encoder on M1 Pro using OBS 27.1.3 is not performing well. Recording using the base resolution of the screen (3024x1964), the hardware encoder will overload just by drag-shaking the OBS window rapidly with nothing else running at the same time. There are many dropped frames in the...

Hello everyone, I faced a problem, using OBS on my mac with m1 pro. I have two displays connected to make videos, OBS sees only one of them, therefore I can capture 1 window on first display, and do some other stuff on the another display simultaneously. But here is the deal – when i click on...

Hello everyone! Desktop Audio Capture became very quiet all of a sudden last week, like 4 times quieter than it used to be. So when I'm doing my Youtube-streams, viewers can hear me perfectly, but not my guests in a proper way. I have been using Soundflower, and I tried to fix it by myself both...

Hey everyone, I'm very new to all of this, so I don't know even where to start. I tried Google but couldn't come up with the right keywords. Here's my problem: in a recording once in a while (maybe once in 5-10 minutes) I hear "duplicated audio frames". What I mean is, for example, someone is...

Hello, i was wondering if it is possible to somehow use macbook as streaming pc. I was using my old PC with windows for streaming, but it looks like that right now the performance is not enough for both streaming and playing games. I want to buy new macbook mainly for my work, because i actually...

I cannot for the life of me figure out what is causing this, and how I would fix. I have seen other similar reports and tried what I've found there, but no luck. My issue is I am trying to use OBS to record to my local machine. That machine is a 16" Intel MBP running Big Sur. I have the latest...

Hi, I want to stream gaming stuff and I have a monitor which jobs isn't recognising. Any general tips or why this is happening would be great I have a Mac M1 chip Thanks!

hello, i know of a few cool websites that i’d like to have as the background for my streams. i don’t like to have my normal browser (firefox) open when i stream (for like a window capture) because my computer isn’t the best. i already am running different programs, like ableton, during the...

Hey everyone! I'm new to OBS and streaming as a whole. I have a webcam and a headset however I am having difficulty setting up both to just my windows 10 to Display Capture. Game Capturing is quite boring without adding some sort of discussion. Not sure if this is possible but is there anyway...

Hello there, I would like to use obs on my macbook pro mid 2010 to record my online classes but i have no idea what settings to use. Could someone help me ? I want to be able to record meetings from google meet, microsoft teams and skype along with the computer's audio from the meeting or any...

I recently just bought a MacBook Pro with the M1 chip and I was wondering if I could possibly use that as my separate device to stream on my main one which is a Windows. If there are any links or sources to find more information on this that would be great.
