OBS Studio Settings That Top Streamers Use

[00:00] it's 2025 which means it's time to

[00:02] optimize your OBS Studio settings for

[00:04] topnotch quality and performance let's

[00:06] jump into everything you need to know

[00:07] first we will be looking at video

[00:08] settings this is crucial for your

[00:10] streams and recording the standard based

[00:12] canvas resolution is 1920 x 1080p so

[00:15] there's no need to adjust it now for the

[00:17] output scaled resolution there's

[00:18] different resolutions that can be done

[00:20] based off your computer hardware in most

[00:22] cases you want to keep it at 1920 x 1080

[00:24] but if you have a strong internet

[00:26] connection and PC you'll be able to

[00:28] adjust it to 1440p or even 4K for the

[00:31] downscale filter we will be sending it

[00:33] to Lanos which will give you the best

[00:34] quality for your downscaling finally for

[00:36] your FPS we will be setting it to 60 as

[00:39] this will give your streams that buttery

[00:41] smooth feeling especially for fast-paced

[00:43] Content like gaming now click apply and

[00:45] then we're going to move on to Output

[00:46] settings now under output settings we're

[00:48] going to be looking at things like bit

[00:49] rate and encoding first you need to

[00:51] change your mode to advance as this will

[00:53] give you more control for the standard

[00:54] 1080p 60 FPS streams I recommend setting

[00:57] your bit rate to around 6,000 kilobits

[00:59] per second for a solid stream quality if

[01:02] you're looking to stream in 1440p or 4K

[01:05] you will need to stream in a higher bit

[01:06] rate like 9 to 12,000 kilobits per

[01:08] second the higher your bit rate is the

[01:10] better quality stream you will have but

[01:12] that's based off your internet speed

[01:13] depending on the parts in your PC the

[01:15] best encoder to choose is going to be

[01:17] the Nvidia invig option this will put

[01:19] less stress on your CPU which will help

[01:21] run your PC smooth if you don't have a

[01:23] GPU you'll need to stick with x264 which

[01:26] should run your streams just fine for

[01:28] the key interval I would just set it to

[01:29] to two which will ensure an Optimal

[01:31] Performance now under the CPU usage

[01:34] preset we going to just leave it at slow

[01:36] for profile we're going to set it to

[01:38] high so we can get that crisp quality

[01:40] then I would just leave everything else

[01:41] how it is and then click apply now let's

[01:43] dive into audio setting so your streams

[01:45] will have that nice and clear audio

[01:46] quality for the sample rate make sure

[01:48] this is set to 48 khz for high quality

[01:51] audio for channels I would just leave it

[01:53] as stereo now for desktop audio I would

[01:55] set it to your headphones because you

[01:56] would want to verify what you're hearing

[01:58] is what your audience is also hearing

[02:00] finally for the microphone just set it

[02:02] to the microphone that you use if you

[02:03] want to improve your microphone settings

[02:05] I recommend clicking on the video in the

[02:07] top right corner be sure to click apply

[02:08] on your settings before you move on

[02:09] finally we're going to be going to

[02:11] advanced settings this is optional but

[02:13] this will give you the best performance

[02:14] for your OBS for the render I would use

[02:16] direct 3d1 for the best compatibility

[02:19] and performance under the color format I

[02:21] would leave it as mv12 for the best

[02:23] performance and finally for the color

[02:24] space I would recommend setting this to

[02:26] 709 and your color range I would set it

[02:28] to full or the best color dep now click

[02:30] apply and you're good to go if you have
