Question / Help Best settings for Macbook Pro, overheating and lag??

[Beth17]

Hi, I've just got OBS for live streaming gameplay on youtube and I was wondering what the best settings are. When I first tried to live stream the game was lagging and my mac was overheating. Is there anyway I can fix this and what settings should my mac be on? Thanks!

On my mid-2014 MacBook Pro, I found the best settings were to switch Output to Advanced mode, and then use the Apple VT H264 Hardware Encoder. CPU-wise, that performs far better for me than the x264.

Results may vary with different hardware.
