I'm new to OBS and I'm testing my stream out using my Facetime webcam. Whenever I stream to youtube, I get an error saying "my current resolution (1280x800) is not optimal" after a few minutes of streaming. OBS 0.12.0 doesn't have any options for regular resolutions like 1280x720, etc. How can I correct this or prevent this from happening? I use a Macbook Pro 13-inch (Early 2015) and I'm new to streaming. Here's my log file;
