Question / Help Blackbars

[shipta]

I have a problem with my ingame res and the OBS res.
the natvie res of my monitor is 16:9 1080P, but i am playing CSGO at 1280x1024.
that means i have blackbars at the both sides.
How i can fix it?
Here a preview of my livestream

You can simply keep OBS to a 16:9 resolution, for example your monitor res of 1920x1080, but downscale it 1.5 to 1280x720. Then after you add CS:GO to your scene, for example place it on the left or right of your OBS preview, to the black area you should see you can add a chat area, images, gif animations, info text, twitter links, whatever you want.

If you stream at 1280x1024 most people watching your stream that are using a 16:9 monitor would get the mentioned black areas, no matter what you do, so my above idea allows you to use them :)

How to select the correct Resolution/Aspect Ratio
How to downscale or resize, and whats point filtering?
