Wrong Color Format
Color Formats other than NV12 and P010 are primarily intended for recording, and are not recommended when streaming. Streaming may incur increased CPU usage due to color format conversion. You can change your Color Format in Settings -> Advanced.
Warning
Old Version (29.1.1)
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (29.1.1). Please update to version 30.2.3 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.
Warning
Windows 11 22H2 (EOL)
You are running Windows 11 22H2, which has not been supported by Microsoft since October 2024. We recommend updating to the latest Windows release to ensure continued security, functionality, and compatibility.
Warning
Non-Standard Aspect Ratio
Almost all modern streaming services and video platforms expect video in 16:9 aspect ratio. OBS is currently configured to record in an aspect ratio that differs from that. You (or your viewers) will see black bars during playback. Go to Settings -> Video and change your Canvas Resolution to one that is 16:9.
Info
Encoder start error
An encoder failed to start. This could result in a bitrate stuck at 0 or OBS stuck on "Stopping Recording". Depending on your encoder, try updating your drivers. If you're using QSV, make sure your iGPU is enabled. If that still doesn't help, try switching to a different encoder in Settings -> Output.
Info
Windows Game Mode
In Windows 10 versions 1809 and newer, we recommend that "Game Mode" be enabled for maximum gaming performance. Game Mode can be enabled via the Windows 10 "Settings" app, under Gaming > Game Mode.
