You are for sure a gifted instructor. You make outstanding video tutorials; easy to follow and simply put forward for even a novice like myself to understand. Thank you Michael.

You're great at explaining things and I love how clear and straightforward the video was. Thanks Michael!

This is great! We've relied on you for som many iMovie tips and tricks and this video is HUGE. We just started using OBS for streaming live music and it is a bit limiting for live streaming in terms of what we can display on the screen during the live. Just using an intro video that we manually play at the beginning and an overly but I'm sure there is so much more we could be doing. Checking out your playlist for OBS next but we'd love to see you do more on OBS if you have not already. Thanks so much for all you do!

Thanks for sharing this easy to follow and beginner friendly intro to OBS.

Great option. You can also use QuickTime and a USB-C audio dongle with 1/8th mic and headphone jacks looped back into itself for audio recording. The audio source will then become USB Audio Device from the MacOS audio menu.

Great instructions from beginning to end for someone just looking simply to record the screen. I would note that it also makes the files smaller than QuickTime Player, so it takes up a LOT less space on the Mac. Even when I increase the bit rate. And I would suggest maybe a short video explaining some of the settings, especially how to balance a good quality image vs a smaller file. I played around and got to something I like but I don’t know what the settings really mean and whether I can improve the quality even more while keeping the file still smaller than those produced by QuickTime Player’s.

I'm brushing up on my novice screen recording skills and have to say, these are some of the very best software tutorials I have come across. Thank you so much for not skipping steps and having a great sense of humor!

Been using OBS for a short time... timely video - clear and to the point... didn't know I could record computer audio. Thanks Michael.

Yes, I’d love some more videos on OBS. I’m going to be recording some two camera art demo videos and it looks like a good solution. The clear and concise Michael Kinney style will make them very useful.

This was a great video. Thank you. Subscribed!

Fantastic video. Was exactly the solution I needed.

Yes. I'd like to see more OBS tutorials. Thx

Sir you have a talent! I watch tutorial videos all the time and YOU have a gift to explain process with clarity, simplicity, perfect tone and pacing. I hope you teach for a living! Thank you so much!

Brilliant tutorial! I'm just starting down this path of recording content and this has been the clearest tutorial video I've seen. Thanks.

Great demo

Thank you for the great free content!

Great information, great presentation! I had used OBS years ago, but I didn’t know it was capable of doing this kind of screen recording, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this comprehensive video. short and to the point

Well done. Very clear and straightforward.

thank you bro! you really helped me alot!! I just bought a MacBook Air m1 at the beginning of this year 2023 and ive been looking for a screen recorder and now I found one that works amazing thanks to you! much love

Great explanation very easy to follow - I did not like the idea of downloading another plugin. Thanks for pointing this out, the how-to.

Great tutorial 👍👍

You are great. Thank you so much! Thank you!!

Wonderful video thank you so much!

Fantastic video and discovering OBS is a total solution for a project I'm working on.

Thank you, that was much helpful

This was exactly what I was looking for! After about an hour of searching 🤦. Thank you!

Your teaching style is clear and direct. thank you!

Thank you! Love your passion and natural talent to teach. You have inspired me

Thank you for sharing this! I was about to purchase software for this, so you saved me money :)

well done sir. quick, step-by-step and thorough. thank you

You are an articulate gifted teacher. Well Done & Thank you!!

Awseome… you make it easy to understand - thank you!

You have done a fine job, so professional and accessible.

Awesome content! Amazing audio quality, clear, and great step by step instruction. Gifted teacher & leader! Have a blessed & abundant day 🙏

Thank you Michael! I’ve always enjoyed your videos and this is definitely the best and simplest tutorial for OBS that I have watched, and I’ve watched several. Thank you for making it clear, simple and very practical. I would love to see more videos on OBS

Thank you, sir! Excellent video and tutorial!

Thank you for your excellent tutorials. You are gifted in such a way, that you explain everything so quick and easily for me to understand.😌

OBS works good on Mac. Been playing with it to do livestreams on my channel.

Great piece of software. I use it for Zoom to display scroller and lower thirds.

thanks you it help me to record my meet class😅

Your articulation is remarkable and you make it easy to understand. I am requesting that you please make a tutorial for GarageBand to create simple background music for iMovie and importing a song and add music in it. Thank you so much!

this is great, thank you

Perfect Tutorial for OBS, Thanks a ton

I love your videos; they are concise and informative! Great job!

Michael, I just gotta say THANK YOU! You are extremely helpful and a wonderful communicator, one of the best on here. I rolled my eyes when you said OBS and then you read my mind as I was thinking "The thing for gamers?" it was eerie and funny. So keep up the great content.

Very helpful and concise- great video thank you! 🙏🏽

great tutorial thanks a lot

Your presentation put me on the right track to record streaming videos. Thank you. I encountered a challenge that I could solve by changing Safari to Opera browser. Namely, Safari could not play the video when OBS was in memory. Opera has a feature that enhances the video quality. LUCID MODE. When enabled, the video played, when disabled, I viewed a BLACK SCREEN. Audio was audible. I wonder if there is/are OBS settings that may overcome this idiosyncrasy. The video blocking occurred when the source of videos was an archive of old recordings (50 years +).

Awesome tutorial, thank you!

@Micheal Kinney What if I don't see an option for Mac OS screen screen capture in the menu???

Thank you so much!

So thankful for finding your channel and content! Can the corner shot from your live camera stream be made into a circular shape? Do you have tutorials on how to work with green screen with this very app as well as blurring your background, lower thirds ... all that good stuff! Thanks

Thank you for this great video and tutorial 👍

Great vid... thanks

Thanks man. good explanation

Rockstar! Great Tutorial as always!!!

I only watched your video only for screen capture and that's all so I might miss out on things. On the OBS window, it would randomly freeze and I would be afraid to start recording as if it might break my computer. If its normal for that to happen then ill be glad.

7:44 aye i dont got that, idk what goin on lol

Ty for this video :)

Super helpful explanation!

Great video and you are such a great presenter. I have followed your guide and so far it works. I have problems with my camera (Elgato Face Cam) in the sense that my movements are mirrored, so i turn left when moving my face right and vice versa. How do i set the camera recording to act properly ?

Great video, excellent

Thank You!

nice video really helpful thanks man!

Great video man, thanks a lot!

I'm trying to find one that is super quick and easy to open up, and can also record videos that aren't 8000GBs... Would OBS be your suggestion for that? Imagine like... easy / quick to open and lightweight like zoom recordings... for quickly recording webinars / seminars at a moments notice.

Is it possible to do this with macOS Monterey or lower?

I am glad to see you with a new full review. I wanted to ask if there will be more manuals for imovie or has this direction been postponed for a long time (or until a global update)?

Can you pick a window Let’s say a Google meets meeting Hit record. Then I move the window. Or minimize And it keeps recording the selected Google meets window? Which is technically not on screen if minimized ???

Great video! how did you switched between screens in this video though? (full screen of you and then back to the obs recording)

Your videos are great! Thanks.

Goodness. Please create an OBS mini course! I'll buy it. I have difficulty using it with Zoom. The audio is complex, I cannot hear myself etc. Please, help!

Does OBS have that screen option where you can be in the corner while showing the screen? trying to find that feature for free

How were you able to zoom in to portions of the screen and out to highlight particular areas?

This is killer. Thank you.

Thhnx! Do you know how you can select just a selection of the screen that you want to record? Just like you can do in QuickTime? I dont want to record the whole screen but just a selection of a Web page for example

Thanks for this video!!!

wow I have just installed this software and it's pretty amazing ! however I keep having black borders around my screen despite keeping everything te default, need to play with the resolution a bit to fill the screen ! if you have any tips about that please enlighten me ! and thank you so much for the video, I liked and subscribed :) update : I have figured it out in 10 minutes ! I dont have a background with this kind of software or with recording/streaming at all, so this goes to show that you can easily find your way around this software, also, watch Mike's video and pay attention to details as it will help you so much with navigating quickly through the app. I have downloaded OBS at noon and now it's 1:25 pm, so it took me 1 hour and half to figure it all out and be all-set to record my sessions! thanks Mike for the amazing video ! godspeed

Thanks so much

6:58 after selecting the Mac OS screen capture, nothing pops up? I’m not sure why that is

When I added my sources the properties did not automatically display as on your video

didnlt get an option for macos screen capture

How are you? For those who already have Screenflow 10 do you think it's beneficial to switch to OBS?

What about capturing fullscreen from e.g. KZfaq? Or Capture Desktop? With only one screen device which is Macbook screen. This is the issue I am struggling with long time :/ Do you have any ideas how to record those kind of screens?

Great tutorial (Y)

thanks for all this info but I have a question , what if I want to record screen from right angle or left or or , is there a way for that ?

Ok. I went ahead and started using OBS but quickly hit a wall because there doesn't appear to be any way to edit the recordings. I noticed you have a lot of tricks and tips videos but what I really need is a zero to hero course on a screen recorder so I can record videos and then cut and splice them. I have spent days trying to figure this out without success. I wish you had such a course. Any advice

GREAT VIDEO

awesome video

Can I simultaneously listen in Airpod while recording going on (Video + Audio) ....and the Output having both Video + Audio ?

Excellent

The problem is, you cant edit the recording in OBS. Also, you cant remove noise. Any solution for this? I use iSpring Cam in Windows which is very easy and helpful. But i need something like thay for ios.

I downloaded OBS 30.0.2 for Mac M1 Silicon. I got as far as 5:51 in your video and discovered the newer OBS does not have the same properties window and there is nowhere I can select method-->display capture. When I press record, nothing records. Would you please make a new video about *simple* screen and internal audio recording for the new OBS Mac version? thank you! :)

I tried to open it and it said its no application open to open the file and i mistakingly opened photos and if does support mkv. Where do i find quicklook like you opened and played to test. I hate recording hours just to know later its no sound lol

helpful video thanks

Everytime I try to use my MacOS screen Capture it doesn't work and I don't know what to do.

thank u so much

Do you have to use black hole still and is this working with fl studio too👀 nice video

The audio recording is stereo or mono?
