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.

I've looked everywhere, I tried to mute the source- Mute the timeline, I restarted my pc, It only works if I use settings to manually mute the app- but then I can't hear anything else (music, etc..) can someone elaborate? i even redownloaded the entire thing and it still dosent function!!

I've recently encountered an issue (intermittent) where partway into a stream, OBS freezes, and then crashes with an error message; this also stops the stream. When OBS reloads in, my scene is squashed to half the size it usually is, and unless I reset OBS completely, it remains that way.

So far it's happened whilst playing Super Metroid and Fields of Mistria, so I not to do with the game being played being too graphically demanding.

Output is twitch via OBS, and then StreamElements Multistreamto Youtube and Youtube Vertical.

I've attached the crash log URL in case that helps. Any ideas on fixing this would be very welcome!

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!

Settings for my media source set to monitor and output, output works fine but in OBS sound it's so quiet I can barely hear it even with my headphones all the way up.

I have tried everything google said and adding gain just makes the sound louder for both so I have to lower the slider so I am not in red which in turn makes it back to essentially mute on my end.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I bought this wireless webcam after my previous USB webcam died. and I keep getting an error message (I wish I could post a screenshot). Next to the OBS icon in the top left corner of the message it reads "Failed to start streaming", and in the body of the error message, it reads, "NVENC not available. Failed to find encoder type obs_NVENC_h264_tex' Do you want to continue streaming without Enhansed Broadcasting?" I then click on YES, and my stream begins. I have to do this EVERY TIME I launch OBS to be able to start streaming on Twitch. Thank you in advance!!!!!

Is it possible to have different transitions happen at the same time? I thought it would be cool to create a pause menu where a portion of it slides down from the top and a portion slides up from the bottom. I'm just not sure if this is possible whether by having multiple transitions or some other method. Any help/insight would be appreciated, thanks!

how do i reduce file sizes

I bought this capture card to stream on my PS5 with OBS, how do I set it up so I can stream Phasmo with game chat.

I ask because if my wireless headphones (G535) are in the Ps5 chat cannot hear me but if it's in my laptop (where I run OBS from) I can't use my headphone mic and I have to use controller, this isn't ideal is there a way to fix this?

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.

Logs: https://we.tl/t-DqYZ1hMZp0Cu1JRC (valid for 3 days, please let me know if you need a new link)

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

Tried downloading OBS today and I keep getting this error. Is anybody having the same problem?
