The ‘Video’ tab is where you will find FPS settings, resolution, and a downscale filter.

The ‘Audio’ tab is for all audio options such as sample rate and devices (microphone, speakers).

The ‘Output’ tab, as the title would suggest, is for your output setting – bitrate and encoding options for streaming/recording path, quality, and format for recording.

You should focus on these main settings: ‘Output,’ ‘Audio,’ and ‘Video.’ Now, we’ll cover the important settings you need to configure to ensure you have the best stream quality possible. However, if you’re having trouble linking your account to OBS Studio, just copy the stream key from Twitch or YouTube, and paste it on the appropriate field. If you’re using Twitch, you can easily connect your account to OBS Studio on the ‘Stream’ tab in Settings. In ‘Settings’, you’ll have all the options necessary to make your live streams or recordings as smooth as possible.īefore that, you must connect OBS Studio to your chosen streaming platform. Although now on the updated OBS software, the streaming ‘Settings’ button can also be found on the ‘Controls’ dock by default if you haven’t removed it. To open up your settings, simply click ‘File’ in the top left of OBS, then choose ‘Settings’ among the options. Though there are a lot of different tools and settings to navigate through, for the most part, you’ll only really need to use the settings menu. When you first open OBS, you may feel a little overwhelmed.
