# My notes on using OBS Studio.
I have mostly understood how to add sources on OBS Studio, but I needed
help with mainly resolution and bitrate.
## resolution & bitrate
* Settings --> Output:
* Video Bitrate: CHECK BELOW!
* [x] Enable Advanced Encoder Settings
* [x] Enforce streaming site bitrate limits
* Encoder preset: Low-Latency Performance
* Settings --> Video:
* Base (Canvas) Resolution: DEPENDS ON STREAMED GAME OR FULL DESKTOP RESOLUTION, CHECK GAME/DISPLAY SETTINGS!
* *I was mainly playing Final Fantasy X with 1280x720 base/canvas resolution.*
* Output (Scaled) Resolution: WHAT VIEWERS WILL SEE, SEE BELOW
* Downscale filter: Bilinear (Fastest, but blurry if scaling)
* Common FPS Values: 30
### Suggestions
* DVD quality? 250 Kbps bitrate with output scaled 424x240
* Steam minimums: 750 Kbps & 640x350 (360p)
* Note that the second number in resolution is the quality
* Twitch suggested: 3000 Kbps for 1280x720p
* *I may have been trying 1080p but potential settings were lost with hardware issue.*
### External links

without actually having OBS Studio or anything in front of me.***
