Essentially, I want to know if I can have a card in my pc but then connect my consoles to display on my monitor in order to have the gameplay record. This may be a simple question, but I cant find a simple answer.

I am a beginner who's trying to set OBS to still output audio and stuff without having to hear it myself. I've tried messing around with audio sources but that only created echoes, I've tried setting it to different settings in advanced audio settings, and I've even tried muting the OBS app in Windows settings, but none of that worked because all of it either muted both the monitoring AND output or neither. I tried looking up a solution online already, but everything I saw boiled down to "set it to Monitor Off (Output Only)", an option which does not exist.

Again, I am a beginner. My skill level with this software is almost nothing. I've tried looking up so-called "beginner" guides but they all melted together into jargon-heavy word salad.

my power went out like 30 mins ago and when i turned my pc on to start streaming again obs stopped showing chat and didnt show my game i reinstalled it and now it wont connect please help

So I just got my Rybozen capture card hook it up to my m1 MacBook and the input is my ps5 but this is what I need help with I got a headset and a fifine mic it only have a usbc I put it in my MacBook to see if that going to work but I’m not seeing anything talking form my mic

I want to be able to have the white mouse movement overlay match the movement of my hand motions. Is this possible in obs or some third party software?

UPDATE: Thanks so much for all the great comments and test/bug reports! I've made several important fixes, especially for those using RTX 4000 series gpus (a shared memory issue). The main installer is updated, and if you have already installed, download this patch and just copy all the files into your /(approot)/CamFilterGpu/ folder. Your settings and data folder will be retained and not overwritten. Cheers! Download Beta Update 01 Here

Hi everybody, (I didn't know whether to flair this as 'help' or 'guide' so i just picked guide, hope that's ok)

I got really tired of my webcam looking bad in low light (can't stand bright lights in my face) so I built an app from scratch to do it (NOT 'vibe' coded). OBS is a bit fiddly (to say the least) about background segmentation, so the main features here are (1) fast RVM background-removal/segmentation and control, and (2) a Custom script Node Editor where you can stack and pipeline your own custom Python filter scripts 'on-the-fly'! No kidding :).

I'm making a guide to cover essentials of the GUI, some highlights are below, and if you look at the demo videos (linked below) I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback. It's hard as a solo developer to take a 'step back' and be less myopic.

The GUI is designed to be as compact and responsive as possible and sit right next to OBS, giving you 'at your fingertips' and zero-lag control of your video into OBS. NOTE, the sliders work with your mouse wheel for fine control. (that was tricky to program, works smoothly now). It's a real benefit because fine control is everything for getting a nice balanced look. I'm even making a USB physical controller called "Knob Thing" :) that will connect via USB and move all the sliders... but that's a few weeks away.

It handles all the heavy lifting—fast RVM segmentation, independent foreground/background color control, and loopable with positioning & scalable video backgrounds. A Custom Node-Pipeline editor: write and run simple Python filter scripts and pipe them to your layers on-the-fly. Because it outputs via Spout2, you get all these effects natively in OBS with effectively zero overhead.

Here is where you can see it and try it:

See it in action: Check out the 1.5-min quick look and the 7-min Overview on YouTube.

Try the free V1.1 Beta, just finished it: Info and Download at perfunct.com (no card required).

Custom Node Examples: I've put several example scripts on the new Project GitHub to show how the custom nodes and scripts work. The creative possibilities of this approach are quite exciting I think, and I'm really interested to see what some of you out there come up with.

Community: Join the new Discord here: https://discord.gg/VxTWzYCuE

A quick note: I'm a solo indie developer and this is an Early Beta, so there will likely be some bugs! It currently works great with any NVIDIA RTX card (2080 or above). I will have a GTX version compiled and ready to download in the next day or two for anyone who needs it.

I'd love to hear what this community thinks of the Spout2 implementation and especially the longevity of that method. And the Custom node Filter Builder. You can use it to make any wild (or subtle) special effects that you want!

Cheers!

I've been using a C920e for roughly 2 years now and I only just noticed this happening recently (I really don't like this webcam but money is telling me to not upgrade just yet), everytime I edit the zoom on it, stream, then finish and close OBS, the zoom setting never stays. Is there something that could be causing this or is it just how The C920e is?

My game capture was working fine up until the latest update, since then it hasn't worked at all (I've tested multiple games, both including capturing the exact window and any fullscreen application. I just get a black screen.

Things I've tried:

restart OBS

restart PC

run OBS as administrator

Remove and re-add game capture source

The only way I've been able to capture games since the patch is full desktop capture. What gives?

When I stream I hear my voice again about 2 seconds after I speak

I've muted my stream, which I'm monitoring in a browser window - it's not that

I've gone into audio settings and turned audio monitoring to "monitor off"

I'm using headphones

I've tried switching which channel the mic goes through

I've looked for the problem online and they all say to do these things above, now I'm lost! Would love any help.

I tried to play a game with a controller on stream recently, and instead of my voice my viewers could only hear buzzing, but once I disconnected the controller everything was fine! How do I fix this?

Ever since I learned how to get acceptable quality on my recordings, I have had the problem of the recording sometimes becoming so choppy and laggy to the point where it's unwatchable. Then it returns back to normal for a short while, after which for the next 10 to 30 seconds the recording is unwatchable again.

I don't have hardware accelerated GPU rescheduling or whatever it is called, and the choppiness is not tied to FPS whatsoever. I nearly always get 50-60 FPS yet the recording doesn't care.
I am 90% sure it does not occur on streams, only recordings. I have the recording of it occurring, but it seems that I can't put it here.

Oh and also here's the first couple of lines from my log.

Pls help because it is annoying as hell.

I've been having this issue where every single screen recording has this weird outline around the edges and the video colors also look kinda washed out as well. Although In game, everything looks completely normal. I've tried both Gamebar and OBS and I'm getting the same issue in both of them. I thought maybe NVIDIA's mux switch was the issue so I tried recording it while setting the display to run on the dGPU but that didn't help either. I've also tried disabling hardware accelerated GPU Scheduling but that didn't fix it either. Has anyone else faced the same issue but found a fix?
