Question / Help how to automatically start a recording at a specific time?

[Erich]

Hi. I am new to OBS. I am looking for a way to automatically start a recording at a specific time and then end the recording at another specific time. For example, start at 10 pm and end at 12 am. I don't know anything about scripting. I just want some simple way to do this, if possible. I know OBS can stop after a specific length of recording, but what I need is how to start a recording at a specific time when I am away from my computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You can schedule OBS as task in the Windows task scheduler at the desired time. Schedule the start OBS with the command line parameter "--startrecording".
