Dude this video is just perfect for me right now. I've been putting things off feeling anxious about learning OBS and you are answering every single question I've had in my head for so long and you break it down in the right amount to not confuse me or go too fast. I'm able to take in this information the way you've made this tutorial. Thank you ❤️

We need a “recording” version of this video

[TinfoilKnight]

Thank you for making this video. I'm aspiring to become a Streamer, and the couple of videos I watched before watching yours made things sound confusing and i was getting very overwhelmed. You video made it to where a dummy like me could wrap my head around it. Tysm and I'm now going to go to all your videos for all my streaming needs. :)

Thanks for this video. I’m learning all I can about using OBS. Friendly tip, btw, in some shots remove your headshot and put the focus on what you’re describing. It’s makes your video easier to follow.

This worked really well except my Audio is terribly out of sync with the gameplay. There is a 3 to 7 second delay to when a game sound reaches my headphones. I'm not sure how to fix it.

[LalogCelVlogs]

Hi! Are the settings also applicable for just game recording on my PC (Nintendo Switch)? Please help. Thank you so much.
