Settings in OBS Studio

Is this the correct usage?

I want it to stream in 720p so I've downscaled it but I want the recording to rescale back to 1080p.
The output file ends up being 1280x720 still.

Basically how you have it set (to my understanding) is asking the encoder to rescale the output to 1080p, and then OBS studio to rescale the final output to 720p.
If you want to output 720p streaming, and 1080p to recording, I am uncertain how that is accomplished.

EDIT: I was incorrect, see below post link for more info.

Ok I read the edit, does that mean when I set the Recording Rescale Output to 1920x1080, the file resoultion should be 1920x1080?

Don't set Rescale Output if your source is 1920x1080 and you'd like to record the same size. I'm using the same you try to accomplish. Tell if still not working...

Settings>Video>Output (Scaled) Resolution - will be used as input for Rescale Output operations.

Usually, users streaming at lower resolution --> via setting up Rescale Output at streaming tab lower than Output (Scaled) Resolution, while recording at full Output (Scaled) Resolution (no need to check Rescale Output option for recording tab).

Thanks everyone for the help. I fiddled with it as mpek said and figured out my stupid mistake.

Leave the Output Resolution at 1080 (like this)

then you can stream in 720

and Recording will remain at 1080 by default(unchecked)
