How to Stream CS2 (RIP CSGO) 4:3 Stretched (Streamlabs OBS)

Playing around with Streamlabs for a few hours showed me that I don't need to change any of my normal settings or launch the game in untrusted mode in order to make streaming Counter Strike in my stretched resolution possible.

The process goes as follows:

1. Create a new Display Capture source in Streamlabs named "CSGO"
2. Set that Display Capture to the monitor you will be playing CS:GO on.
3. On that monitor, change the Windows Display resolution to the one you will be using ingame.
4. Back to Streamlabs, we will be transforming the "CSGO" Display Capture source by clicking "Transform - Stretch to Screen"
5. Return your Windows Display resolution to your normal (unchanged) resolution, and you're all set!

The Display Capture source should now be overstretched, and showing only the resolution that your game will be running in. Use the "blind" option for when you don't want the stretched screen to show, and enable it whenever you are streaming/recording your game!

Thanks for watching, and leave a like on the video if this tutorial helped you out at all!

This blew up lmao, leave a like on the video if this helped you out!
Honestly since more likes = better person and it *apparently* also recommends this to more people when you like it, it'd be SUPER pog if you liked the video 😘

Dude, you just helped me a lot, I've been trying to fix it for a long time, and I've finally found something that works. Thanks a lot. Like and Sub.

This does in fact work, but an easier workaround is available so you don't have to change your desktop res everytime you change res if you have that problem like I do.
Right click your display capture used for csgo, goto filters, select Scaling/Aspect Ratio, and select 1920x1080 as your resolution (OR WHATEVER SIZE YOUR MONITOR IS).
This will basically scale whatever res you use to your monitors size because while you're in the game, it changes the size of the source, and when you tab out --- it'll go back to 1920.
I would also recommend using Lanczos as your scaling filter so that your game looks nicer than it should on stream and you get comments like "my game doesn't look like that wtf"
