# 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._**
