We also have the option of simultaneously recording and streaming. This means we can record a video without streaming it and stream it without recording it. The recording and streaming options are independent. We can also set a buffer to keep the audience from coming across the typical loading screen, which can be annoying. Just as with video recording, we can configure the codec, video and audio format, and streaming quality so that, if we have a slow Internet connection, we can set the OBS parameters to reduce the video and audio quality and to allow the most fluid streaming possible. If you are a gamer and want to stream on Twitch or a YouTuber who wants to make a live video there, you can do it with OBS Studio after setting up the proper parameters. Once we've selected what we want to record, we can choose between the recording options, like video and audio format, recording quality, recording codec, and more.Īfter setting up all the options, we will only have to press the “ Start recording ” button for the video to be saved on the hard disk, together with our PC's events.
