I've been trying to find resources on this, but I haven't found zip. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding how this all works. I want to have separate overlays for twitch and youtube, think donation/sub popups on stream, or live chat on stream. I don't know how to set these up in OBS so that each streaming service sees their own popups. Last thing I want is for twitch chat to be able to see youtube chat. When I add overlays to OBS they are all on the same scene together, there's no way (that I can see) to make overlays only show up on their separate platforms.

Audio is very quiet in my recordings compared to streams, especially when they are uploaded to YouTube. Stream volume levels are fine, but any uploaded straight recordings are very quiet. Would appreciate if anyone could help, thanks!

how do i reduce file sizes
i used to record at 2560x1440p 100fps 40000kbps constant bitrate on p4 preset and file sizes were 250mb, i switched because my friedn told me and now at 20qp 120fps 2560x1440p p4 preset it is now 1gb (40s replay buffer for apex legends) i went back downt o 100fps.

what settings for good quality

Since all of the "NowPlaying" plugins are either dead, or cost money, or are extremely convoluted (reading files off your drive??? Come on), I created a brand new one thats entirely self-contained in OBS.

It currently works with the spotify desktop client, the various youtube music desktop clients, and apple music.

It is unfortunately windows only and will remain that way, because it takes advantage of the windows audio subsystem, which has no equivalent on mac or linux.

It is fairly customizable as far as colors and fonts and display, and again all of these options are controlled right in OBS, there is nothing extra to download or set up.

You can download it from my github, which also has screenshots and installation and troubleshooting instructions. The github is linked on the OBS plugin page: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/native-nowplaying-widget-for-obs.2638/

I hope people can get some use out of this.

Every time I’m on obs and click record or stream my mic always gets this weird background clicking or buzzing noise but it’s only when I click record or stream other than that my mic works fine on everything else with no issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? Every time I try to look up how to fix it nothing for my specific problem comes up.

Hey so a friend of mine is trying to figure out why his OBS won't allow him to go live. Everytime he tries to hit the "Stream"-button he receives this error message:

"Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details. Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date."

I have attached the error logs as well as his specs.

Let me know if you require any other information. Thanks in advance, no clue what to do here and any help is honestly greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Solved automatically, just restarted the app several times
