Question / Help OBS taking ~10% of CPU on idle

Hello my fellow streamer-friends,

I just wondered if this is a normal behavior? When starting OBS Studio and look up my Task Manager it already uses about 10% of my CPU. Log attached.

It doesn't change when I start OBS studio as admin.


Kind Regards
Maggi

Yes, this is normal. The Elgato outputs encoded video, by having it on your scene it needs to be decoded, which takes CPU time.
