[0:00] it's 2025 which means it's time to [0:02] optimize your OBS Studio settings for [0:04] topnotch quality and performance let's [0:06] jump into everything you need to know [0:07] first we will be looking at video [0:08] settings this is crucial for your [0:10] streams and recording the standard based [0:12] canvas resolution is 1920 x 1080p so [0:15] there's no need to adjust it now for the [0:17] output scaled resolution there's [0:18] different resolutions that can be done [0:20] based off your computer hardware in most [0:22] cases you want to keep it at 1920 x 1080 [0:24] but if you have a strong internet [0:26] connection and PC you'll be able to [0:28] adjust it to 1440p or even 4K for the [0:31] downscale filter we will be sending it [0:33] to Lanos which will give you the best [0:34] quality for your downscaling finally for [0:36] your FPS we will be setting it to 60 as [0:39] this will give your streams that buttery [0:41] smooth feeling especially for fast-paced [0:43] Content like gaming now click apply and [0:45] then we're going to move on to Output [0:46] settings now under output settings we're [0:48] going to be looking at things like bit [0:49] rate and encoding first you need to [0:51] change your mode to advance as this will [0:53] give you more control for the standard [0:54] 1080p 60 FPS streams I recommend setting [0:57] your bit rate to around 6,000 kilobits [0:59] per second for a solid stream quality if [1:02] you're looking to stream in 1440p or 4K [1:05] you will need to stream in a higher bit [1:06] rate like 9 to 12,000 kilobits per [1:08] second the higher your bit rate is the [1:10] better quality stream you will have but [1:12] that's based off your internet speed [1:13] depending on the parts in your PC the [1:15] best encoder to choose is going to be [1:17] the Nvidia invig option this will put [1:19] less stress on your CPU which will help [1:21] run your PC smooth if you don't have a [1:23] GPU you'll need to stick with x264 which [1:26] should run your streams just fine for [1:28] the key interval I would just set it to [1:29] to two which will ensure an Optimal [1:31] Performance now under the CPU usage [1:34] preset we going to just leave it at slow [1:36] for profile we're going to set it to [1:38] high so we can get that crisp quality [1:40] then I would just leave everything else [1:41] how it is and then click apply now let's [1:43] dive into audio setting so your streams [1:45] will have that nice and clear audio [1:46] quality for the sample rate make sure [1:48] this is set to 48 khz for high quality [1:51] audio for channels I would just leave it [1:53] as stereo now for desktop audio I would [1:55] set it to your headphones because you [1:56] would want to verify what you're hearing [1:58] is what your audience is also hearing [2:00] finally for the microphone just set it [2:02] to the microphone that you use if you [2:03] want to improve your microphone settings [2:05] I recommend clicking on the video in the [2:07] top right corner be sure to click apply [2:08] on your settings before you move on [2:09] finally we're going to be going to [2:11] advanced settings this is optional but [2:13] this will give you the best performance [2:14] for your OBS for the render I would use [2:16] direct 3d1 for the best compatibility [2:19] and performance under the color format I [2:21] would leave it as mv12 for the best [2:23] performance and finally for the color [2:24] space I would recommend setting this to [2:26] 709 and your color range I would set it [2:28] to full or the best color dep now click [2:30] apply and you're good to go if you have [2:32] enjoyed this video and want to see more [2:33] content like this be sure to drop a like [2:35] And subscribe down below thank you so [2:37] much for watching peace out
