Question / Help Help to upload youtube lectures for student lectures

[hayk]

Dear Forum,

I am creating youtube lectures using OBS. The standalone recording mp4 is very nice (please see attached), however when I upload in youtube the recording quality becomes really terrible ( nothing can be seen):

Can someone please help to fix this issue.

Don't save directly to mp4 for one
For recordings, in settings - output:
Output mode: Simple
Recording Quality: Indistinguishable
Recording format: FLV or MKV
Recording Encoder: Hardware (QSV) or Software (X264, low cpu usage preset, increased file size)

Thanks for the quick replay.

I made a recording as you told, please see the log: https://obsproject.com/logs/HXquZG98PFYHhPS1

But not much changed, unfortunately:

My target is to have a quality like this:

The quality of your videos are almost perfect for me. Keep in mind that Youtube recodes every video, one for every available resolution, starting from the lowest resolution. The first resolution that becomes available is 360p or something like this, and with this you cannot read anything of course. Wait until the higher resolutions become available, until the maximum. This takes some minutes, sometimes up to an hour.
In the youtube player, click in the lower right corner and see the Quality setting. There you see which resolutions are already available and which resolution is currently being played.

This is how your last video looked like for me in the Youtube player. Absolutely ok:
