I recommend choosing CRF for the rate control and value 15 in the CRF value for starters, as it fixed my problem with bad quality audio after various attempt. If the audio quality of your game stream sounds like a bad quality 128kbps MP3 file, the output settings is the one you need to adjust.

Other than just the gameplay, you can add in other extras such as webcam, third-party program to display other information i.e key strokes, custom scene and frames, texts, etc just like what the professional streamers did during their live stream session. The reason for it was I hated Shadowplay, so I tried using which didnt work for me and didnt really care for the social aspect, so I decided to see if there was information around that I could bring together to make OBS Shadowplay. Else, DxWnd or D3DWindower is a good windowed mode alternative for you to capture your game in windowed mode. I made a guide for OBS Studio that replicates NVIDIA Shadowplay. With Shadowplay, you only have a simple way of recording videos, and that is about it. Editing When it comes to editing, OBS certainly takes the cake simply because it has professional grade editing tools whereas Shadowplay does not offer anything along those lines to anyone. Game capture usually works on most games, but it doesn’t capture anything from your game, you can opt for windows capture if the game allows you to toggle windowed mode. Simply because OBS compresses them beforehand. Setting up OBS Studio for game streaming isn’t as hard as it looks. That of course, isn’t really an issue because you can get things sorted out easily with the help of the OBS community forum – all you have to do is ask. Setting up OBS Studio can be tricky for a first time users, mainly on the game capture and audio settings due to hardware behavior.
