Im new here so i hope i put this theard on good place and section, if no Moderator please move it to correct.

At the start im sorry for my english Im from Poland nad I do not sleep almost 2nd night trying to set this but i just do not have any more ideas.

Since yesterday i have struggle witth a problem on Streaming at Youtube.
I streaming on monitor UWHD 3440x1440. And i know its not reccomended for streaming at YT, but still my problem is pretty wird. Because i have scalling or even play in window for 2560x1080 i put whole setting under this resolution and i still have the same problem.
Problem is not only for one game, but for everything i stream
But maybe i will just show you screenshots with setting and what is the problem.

And this is how it looks in Youtube streaming. I have checked on 3 diffrent PC and opn every its the same problem:

When i have Resolution of game and set the same resolution in OBS i still have the same at Youtube just in better/lower quality. or even slammer when i tryed 1920x1080 :<

Please help because i do not know what to do :(

Youtube only supports 16:9. Make sure your output (scaled) resolution is one of these:

• 2160p: 3840x2160
• 1440p: 2560x1440
• 1080p: 1920x1080
• 720p: 1280x720
• 480p: 854x480
• 360p: 640x360
• 240p: 426x240

if its not, YouTube will add black border to compensate or even try to snap to one of those above.

So in your OBS Video setting you want to do this:

• Base (Canvas) Resolution: set to resolution both your monitor and GPU card support
• Output (Scaled) Resolution: one of the YouTube resolutions above
• Downscale Filter: Lanczos
• Common FPS Values: 30, 45, 50, 60, whatever

To extend to what @Sukiyucky meant: Youtube only supports videos with aspect ratio 16:9. Your video with 3440x1440 (or 2560x1080) has aspect ratio 21:9 and is "too wide" for the 16:9 Youtube player, so Youtube adds black bars to the top and bottom.

And i know its not reccomended for streaming at YT, but still my problem is pretty wird

Your problem isn't weird, it's exactly what people mean with "...not recommended for streaming at YT". You're in a dilemma: either you use your full monitor and play with a resolution of 3440x1440, capture this and stream with black bars. Or you forfeit a part of your pretty monitor screen, change the resolution of your game to a 16:9 resolution such as 2560x1440 and stream this without black bars.

If you insist on streaming with 21:9 aspect ratio: realize that most people have 1920x1080 monitors (or 16:9 monitors in general). All these people will see your stream with black bars, as long as you send as 21:9.

By the way, this is the resolution distribution from the current Steam hardware survey:
