Hi everyone,
I’ve recently run into a small issue and was wondering if anyone here could offer some suggestions or share their experience. I’m running OBS Studio on Ubuntu 22.04, and everything works great except when I try to stream or record Chrome-based windows (like Chrome browser itself or any apps built with Electron). The video feed starts to stutter and becomes choppy — but only for those specific windows. Other apps and screen captures run smooth.
I've tried adjusting encoding settings, using both x264 and VAAPI, and even played around with window capture vs screen capture, but no luck so far. Could this be a compatibility thing with how Chrome/Electron apps render in Linux?
The reason I’m diving deep into this is that I run a website (https://ogwhat.com/) where we share digital tools, trends, and workflows — and I’m planning to create a content series that involves screen recording tutorials. Naturally, OBS is my go-to tool, but this hiccup is slowing things down.
Has anyone faced something similar or found a workaround for streaming Chrome-based apps smoothly on Linux using OBS?
Any advice or tips would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
