So I wanted to start using OBS for recording some videos on my desktop (laptop). But when I downloaded and installed OBS and tried to make a test video to make sure it works, the video is extremely short. I would record like a 2 minute video and the video I get is a 20 second video of a frozen screen. Anyone know how to help? :(

Your computer is extremely underpowered, there's no way you're going to be able to record a 1366x768 video at 60 FPS. You'll probably need to use the downscale option under Settings > Video to record at something closer to 360p (downscale of 2.0+) and cut the frame rate to 30 FPS or less. You'll also likely need to configure your preset for superfast or ultrafast under Settings > Advanced. Refer to https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-make-high-quality-local-recordings.16/ for quality settings.

With your current settings your system is completely choking when trying to encode the video, with verything more or less grinding to a halt. Lowing your settings significantly as I described should help.
