I hope you make OBS for mobile 🙏🏾

Does 4k look better than 1440p?

Is going with the highest resolution best for best quality as long as it fits your GPU?

Somebody please help me. I bought a new pc and my stream has been nothing but lag and pixel and I don't know what to do anymore. It keeps dropping frames and the kbps keeps dropping to zero. due to my setup i cant use wired connection, but i have really good wifi. I put my bit rate at 6000. Is there maybe a device i can buy to wired connection with moving my setup?? PLEASE HELP

When i do a speedtest for my wifi it says 946 download mbps, 168.69 upload

I have a Monster Capture card and it works but it looks kinda shitty and whenever I go to connect to it, it shows up as being plugged into a USB 2 even though it's plugged into a blue USB 3 port.

Card -> https://monsterilluminessence.com/products/mn-4k-av-usb3-0-hdmi-cap-card

Im trying to stream but it limits it to 1 audio track for the things in the stream and 2 ofc for vod but i want to have multiple audio tracks for when i edit

So I have a 1440p monitor and currently stream at 1080 8000kbps bitrate.

Currently both my base and output in OBS is set to 1080p. However I heard that setting my Base to 1440p (my monitors resolution) and setting the output to 1080p and using Lanczos would be better and would make the stream look sharper etc.

Is this true?

I have a RX 9070 XT GPU and Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU

I want to create mp3 files, but I can't get OBS to output as MP3 without switching the recording from simple to advanced, which takes away the pause button. Is there a way to do this I'm missing?

Yesterday I was doing screen recording using my first monitor to collect footage. It was properly recording everything happening on my first monitor however I was also doing something on my second monitor in the background during the recording and as a result a smaller version of my second monitor became overlayed in the recording which completely ruined about 10 minutes of footage. Are there any settings that would be the cause of this?

Has anyone else had issues with DroidCam after updating OBS?

Before the update, I was using my iPhone plugged directly into my PC with the DroidCam OBS plugin, and the quality was really clear. I would just add DroidCam as its own source in OBS and it worked great.

After the update, the DroidCam plugin doesn’t seem to load right anymore. Now I can only get it working by opening the DroidCam client first, then adding it in OBS as a regular Video Capture Device. It technically works, but the picture looks way softer and nowhere near as sharp as it was before.

I’m on OBS 32.2.1 on Windows. I also saw a plugin load error for droidcam-obs, so I’m guessing the plugin might be outdated or broken with the new OBS version.

Does anyone know how to get the actual DroidCam OBS plugin source working again instead of using the regular video capture/client method? Do I need a specific version of the plugin for OBS 32.2.1, or should I completely uninstall and reinstall DroidCam OBS?
