Question / Help OBS Multiplatform Stream Delay

[Steven Z]

Is there a way to add stream delay whether its through the software or through a 3rd party software with OBS? I am trying to stream Search and Destroy on CoD, but its hard when people know where you're going

Are you streaming to Twitch? If so there is an epic delay until your stream hits viewers. You might find that you have the Beta Stream Delay feature enabled, check in your Twitch Settings and look for Stream Delay and make sure Reduce Stream Delay is unchecked. If you aren't using Twitch can you let us know which platform you are using?

A stream delay feature will be added to OBS MP eventually.

Man, Twitch settings are buried all over the place, I am not a big fan. This should get you there and as far as I am aware this is a setting that everyone should have. Go to the Twitch main page and select your name in the top right, choose Settings from the menu. Then choose the Channel and Videos tab and it should be there.

its already unchecked :(

OK so you have the longest delay that Twitch uses which means I refer you back to @dodgepong 's response above. Sorry we couldn't be more help

Applying a delay from Twitch's end is only a feature for partnered streamers. Like I said before, you will need to wait for OBS to add a delay feature if you do not have that Twitch feature enabled.

Can't I just right click "Video Capture Device">Add Filter>Video Delay (Async) ?

 

[dodgepong]

That is for adding a delay to a specific source, not the whole stream.

When do you think they'll be adding a stream delay option to OBS Studio?

 

[fatmatrow]

couldn't he, in theory, just put the same ms delay on his video and audio sources?

 

[Osiris]

There already is a stream delay option, has been for a while.

Jesus I didn't check the date on this lol. There absolutely is, under settings>Advanced

I'm sorry, I didn't look at the dates either. I just couldn't find it in settings so I assumed it wasn't in OBS Studio yet haha. I found it though, thank you.
