Critical MP4/MOV Recording
Record to FLV or MKV. If you record to MP4 or MOV and the recording is interrupted, the file will be corrupted and unrecoverable.

If you require MP4 files for some other purpose like editing, remux them afterwards by selecting File > Remux Recordings in the main OBS Studio window.
Warning Old Version (31.0.2)
You are running an old version of OBS Studio (31.0.2). Please update to version 32.0.4 by going to Help -> Check for updates in OBS or by downloading the latest installer from the downloads page and running it.
Warning 9.5% GPU Encoder Overload
The encoder is skipping frames because of GPU overload. Read about troubleshooting tips in our GPU Overload Guide.
Warning Wrong Color Range
Having the Color Range set to "Full" will cause playback issues in certain browsers and on various video platforms. Shadows, highlights and color will look off. In OBS, go to "Settings -> Advanced" and set "Color Range" back to "Limited".
Warning Capture Interference
Display and Game Capture Sources interfere with each other. Never put them in the same scene.
Info Windows 11 25H2 (OK)
You are running Windows 11 25H2, which will be supported by Microsoft until October 2027.
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.
Info Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduler
The Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling ("HAGS") feature added with Windows 10 is currently known to cause performance and capture issues with OBS, games and overlay tools. If you are having issues with performance or OBS freezing, we recommend disabling it via this screen or these instructions as a troubleshooting step.
