Hello, is there a command I can use to have OBS Start Recording upon program start up? I have a program to automatically start programs if they crash so I was wondering if there is an option to have OBS Start Recording automatically when it starts? I have my media Source already setup and configured. Thanks
 
Thank you, that worked :)

You just have to make sure working directory is the same as obs.exe or you get errors;
EG: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\obs-studio\bin\64bit"
 
hey even i need the same . how do i do it ? whenever i start the registration i want the obs should record the screen and audio. where do i write the code --startrecording

how did you do it can you pls explain?
 
@manish OBS Studio doesn't monitors if any other application was started. So, it is better to launch OBS Studio manually when needed or by other application like AutoHotkey.
 
Incase someone else get here through google search.

as mentioned to autostart recording.
Create a shortcut and add " --startrecording" to the end of "Target"
("C:\Program Files\obs-studio\bin\64bit\obs64.exe" --startrecording)


This however will prevent you from placing the shortcut in the "autostart" due to admin privilege's.
It also wont work if you select "Run as administrator" in the "Compatibility" tab.

(it simply wont run at startup. probably some "anti virus" feature)


To allow the autostart with the computer + auto record you need to edit the "current user privileges"
