Thank you this was very detailed, to the point, and the brief explanations were helpful to at least know what they do even if we didn't mess with those settings. This was great

great video, very helpful. Would of like to see you explain snd demonstrate the “kpv” advanced setting

Good video Cody! If I DO have a 4k monitor and it defaults to 3440x1440 after the optimization wizard completes, should I change my output resolution to 1080p since that is the max setting on Twitch? Right now, its showing output resolution at 1719x720 under the video tab you explained in your great video!

Hey man, I found your "BEST OBS STUDIO SETTINGS" (from 27 aug, 2021) first after which I started browsing your channel. Great stuff, extremely helpful!! <3

I have a question tho cause I got a bit lost at the Output > Recording > Encoder section. There you mentioned to put the CQ Level at 17 and adjust accordingly but I have no idea what I am or would be adjusting, or what's being used as a frame of reference for this adjustment :P

i have two choices for my encoder AMD HW H.264 (AVC) or x 264 which one works best or which one do you recommend?

[neonhearts]

Hey man loved this video and really appreciate it! I was just wondering if you could answer a question about my audio tracks. No matter what I seem to do I can get them to record correctly. After recording I only get my microphone audio recorded or just the desktop audio recorded any ideas on what could be causing this? I do have the correct audio tracks tick I've tried messing around with it but cant seem to find a fix, Thank you :)

Your was on, but my test, wanted it off?

Hello hope you’re doing well. I seen your video about streaming on a Mac with obs I’ve added an external mic ( my hyper x headphones) and I’ve tried to use it while reacting to videos. You can hear my voice clearly but the audio from the video is a lot lower when having the microphone in. I tried to configure obs more and even my own Mac’s settings but for obs it says disabled. Is there a way to bypass this. I am streaming on kick btw!

[doomsayr_x]

how do you add a chat in obs? I don't see anywhere to add in when I click on the live tab. I'm using own3d the diablo IV theme. Please help. Ty so much you made this way easier than I thought it would be.

[longgameplaysessions]

Hey, so I got a problem in obs studio where I was streaming but the volume bar for the game wasn’t moving. Do you know what happened? Just to let you know I’m using windows and I updated obs studio to the latest version.

[Gigi-edff]

Hey Great video! I was wondering if you could help me understand something real quick. I'm streaming on a Ps5 using a capture card & I set up OBS studio with Auto Configuration Wizard. However there is a delay on Twitch whenever I go live. Is there something wrong with my settings on obs or Twitch? Thank You!

[KRyToKaR]

[JulieRivera-fmgb]

Question since I have been wanting to be a streamer ever since I was young and finally managed to get myself a gaming PC, what is remotely the best way to gain viewers? Any advice will be much appreciated <3
