Question / Help OBS and XBox 1

You capture your xbox through a video capture device. Do you have one?
 
Well you'll have to get one unfortunately. They cost around 150ish USD. If you're on a desktop computer, get an internal capture device, they're cheap, and almost all work pretty good (although I sort of dislike blackmagic because they're too picky about resolution).

Avoid USB devices unless you're on a laptop.
 
USB devices generally give more resolution options, but introduce a 2-5 second delay between what you're doing in the game, and when its displayed in OBS. If you don't mind that delay, then a USB device is just as useful as an internal card.
Of course there is always the USB3.0 devices like x-capture 1 that don't have a delay, but that costs ALOT.

As far as internal cards go, you don't have a great deal of options other than a Blackmagic Intensity Pro, or an Avermedia Live Gamer HD
 
USB 3.0 devices are good, often even a bit better than internal, but yea, they're still a bit expensive right now.
 
Thank you for the info. I appreciate it. I use a program to use my desktop from my laptop so if there won't be lag issues from that I could go internal.
