Set up VOD Track/Separate VOD Audio in OBS Studio | Full Guide

Want to have a separate VOD track for Twitch streaming in OBS Studio? Confused about how it works? This video explains how to enable it and manage audio tracks to either select specific inputs and outputs to go to the stream, or particular programs instead to selectively build what's going to your live stream and what's going to your VOD.

I've just got into casually streaming a few weeks ago and this has honestly been life saver. Simple, clean and concise video with easy to follow instructions. It worked perfectly thank you <3 and that's coming from someone who does not understand technology in the slightest 😂😂😂 Now I just have to figure out why my video share isn't working and I'll be done fiddling with stream

You are just the GOAT. Explained really well and straight to the point, with also a perfect voice, THANKS!

I listen to spotify so much, sometimes i'll have a heavy metal song on to motivate me during the ending of a game - a moment I absolutely would love to upload on YouTube, but of course the copyrighted music mutes the whole thing - so having this, really helped!

Excited to test it next week on stream :D

Im cureently streaming through a ps4, but its breaking so im trying to get a pc soon and have it all planned, and this vid helps alot

[techatharva]

Hey, can you make a video about 'Plugins and Themes I Use in OBS'? It would be highly appreciated

[kenneyaf]

I do what you do here for my own streams but I'm looking to use a two-pc setup soon. If I'm playing music on the gaming pc, how do I prevent the streaming pc from putting it into the VOD track? 😅

[larrylobster]

would it be possible to do this with video as well?

[jeansagi]

Very interesting and useful options and not only for VOD. (Just a little suggestion: Please explain a little slower)

[VexxxDG]

Do you need an obnoxious bitrate to do this? 75000 seems a bit steep compared to what I've been used to.

Hello, I am trying to update OBS studio but it won't open my updates thingy. And I kept trying but it doesn't let me. I would be happy if you could explain why this is happening and thank you.

[MasterMind-nxfz]

Do you have to individually choose every game???

[vanelos]

⁉️I have not understood anything, in all these videos that show settings for obs/vod. The logic is that the music should come out live in the stream normally, but when it is uploaded, there should be no music? The music in a live stream cannot be detected by contents id if we set obs this way?
Because I already have a copyright claim, even though I only played live music and didn't let the video be uploaded to YouTube afterwards.⁉️

hey techno, looked around but couldnt find any answers. OBS VOD Track option isnt available to people who relay their stream? the option doesnt even appear [it is set to advanced]. [for ex, someone i know lives in a country where they have no servers nearby, and they wanted to split the tracks for music and such ]. thanks :]

i will update this if i find something

[Mara_]

Can I change which sources is used in which track mid-streaming?
For example if I play copyright free music and want it in the VOD, but at some point I switch over to copyrighted music and I want to mute desktop audio from that point on.

How does this work for games with radio music? When i stream, the radio is playing, but on twitch i cant hear it.

[UchihaOPBrian]

Hi I noticed that after I stream there's no audio in the saved vids. I want to know what the issue could be. I know that I was playing some anime osts in the background.

[mehliamm]

Hi troublechute this is irrelevant to this vid but I'm having trouble with my monitor or my GPU artifacting is there anything I can do to fix this? Both r old components 😅 GPU AMD Hd 5450 and an old dell monitor but I don't wanna use the GPU anymore since my igpu is way better which I just found out by using it a day ago😭

[siphonedshisui]

An issue I am running into right now is that my mic/game audio is perfectly heard during my twitch stream but the VOD on twitch will have no audio. I have been tinkering and looking through twitch and OBS forums for a while and can't seem to get a solution. Any thoughts?

[xdanizztv]

i have been using "application audio capture" to capture a game sound, so what happens is that like every 30 minutes or 1 hour my stream audio becomes to be Glitchy for like 30 seconds, i made same search and many people have this same issue, nobody was able to resolve this, sooo.. for now i went back into desktop audio with no music.. and its good.. damn, nobody knows how to help?

[sadlhygaming]

its says inactive how do i activate it
