Question / Help How to start using OBS.

[mouse]

Hi guys, I decided to start making some videos to upload to Youtube, and one of my favourite youtubers mentioned he uses OBS, and I decided to give it a try.
The problem: I´ve never had contact with a screen and stream recorder.
So, could somebody be kind enough to give me some hints? I have a Windows 7.
Thanks.

Thanks for answering! Everything written there is useful also for not-streaming purposes isn´t it?

Yes. If you want to stream select "streamig services", if you want to record some gameplay use "file output only".
