Why is video not recording in aspect 16:9?

[9Steps]

Settings show 16:9 for both canvas and output, but the on-screen video display and the recorded video are more in the direction of square. I'm recording talking head using a Logitech 920 webcam. Thanks

Double click on the Video Capture Device source, make sure the Resolution is 16:9 such as 1920x1080, else

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

Can anyone please advise me how to avoid video lag behind the sound? I'm doing a straight recording of talking head via Logitech 920 webcam with Blue Yeti sound input. Thanks

I resolved this after a while. Please see post re other difficulty with video lag.

You audio and video paths are different (Ballast Media has a succinct YouTube video on audio video sync). It is natural and appropriate that small bandwidth, quicker processed audio is ahead of video. There is no easy button in free software like OBS to resolve (that I'm aware of). Lots of YouTube and other articles on how to address audio/video sync.
Personally, I use this video (downloaded onto tablet) from PTZOptics.com/Streamgeeks OBS Audio Sync Test
