Can you recommend any resources for learning OBS?
My daughter wanted to record some videos of her playing a web-based game. I found the interface to OBS unintuitive. I managed to figure out how to capture a specific area on the desktop, but it was unexpectedly difficult to resize the output to match the input. I found some way of doing it that I can't remember.
A few months later I had to do it again and that time I couldn't find the option to resize the output to match the input.
I'd love to find some resources to help her learn how to setup OBS for recording or streaming.
- julianlam 7y agoInstead of streaming the entire desktop (or a portion of it), you'll actually want to set up the ["Game Capture" source](https://obsproject.com/wiki/Sources-Guide#game-capture https://obsproject.com/wiki/Sources-Guide#game-capture), and configure it to automatically attach to any fullscreen application. Then add an audio stream, and you're good to go.
- zahrc 7y agoThe official obs website has a wiki and a forum, that’s probably the best place to go. I can also help you set it up if you want!
- ogjunkyard 7y agoOsiris, there are a lot of tutorials around learning OBS. One of the best ones that I've come across is EposVox's OBS Studo Master Class 2018. It helps you figure out what you want to learn and covers a large swath of the various OBS functionalities.

- meestaahjoshee 7y agotry obs streamlabs or twitch studio - they're a lot more beginner friendly and built with OBS if your daughter just wants to record or stream.
- jachee 7y agoI'll say that StreamLabs was better before they changed their monetization model. I was lucky to download and install a few sets of overlays a few months ago that, today, would cost a minimum monthly fee to access.
- bakedbeanz 7y agoCheck out "Gaming Careers" on YouTube, it's a channel dedicated to teaching all the various aspects of streaming from the ground up, assuming little or no previous knowledge.
