Sort of: I can go live on facebook using 16:9 aspect from the iPhone 13 Pro Max, but how in the heck do you change OBS to use a 9:16 aspect ratio instead of 16:9? I need to simulate the font camera on the iPhone by using the Back cameras. I am using Camo with the iPhone 13 plugged in..everything is good until I go live. Facebook thinks its a movie (1080p or 720p), but I need it to be 720x1280! (Simulating a selfie/vertical video). I've tried every combination of Video/Output/Rescaling, and cropping options that I can think of. No matter what I do, the Facebook Live adds massive Letterboxing (Black lines on top and bottom), which, when customers view the video on their phone, it is so small, they can't see it. Does anyone have any ideas? Using the front camera and just going live works great with standard phone options. I really want to use OBS with the back cameras..please help!
Going insane trying to go Live on Facebook with iPhone!

In Settings->Output, just type in 720x1280 in the Canvas box. It has suggested common resolutions if you click the dropdown, but you can absolutely just type in whatever resolution you want to use, for whatever aspect ratio you need.
Ok, got it working! Evidently, I had to go to the Video tab, manually type in 1080x1920 for the Base and the Output Resolution (9:16). I also had to select 'Custom' for the stream target. Selecting the predefined 'Facebook Live' gave me errors and switched it back. When I go live now, I have to paste the Stream Server along with the key, but the video is now viewable on all cell phones. :) No more Letter boxing...
