OBS Hotkeys: How to Enable and Disable Preview Window | OBS Studio Tips and Tricks for Beginners
20OBS Hotkeys: How to Enable and Disable Preview Window | OBS Studio Tips and Tricks for Beginners tutorial guide covers how to set up hotkeys in OBS to turn on/off the preview window screen, which can help reduce skipped frames, lag and stuttering while streaming & recording using OBS Studio along with the best optimization tips and tricks for achieving the best OBS streaming and recording settings for quality and performance in OBS Studio on Windows 11/10 PC & Laptops. Multiple stream output resolutions are compared (1080p / 936p / 864p and 720p 60fps) to give you the best OBS Twitch settings for smooth, crisp, stable and high quality CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Warzone, DOTA 2, Tf2, PUBG, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, RDR2, FiveM, Rainbow Six Siege and Call of Duty (COD) streams on a variety of hardware encoders, such as NVIDIA NVENC, AMD Advanced Media Framework (AMF), Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) and Apple VideoToolbox (VT). This tutorial was made for Twitch partners and affiliates in mind. If you've experienced frames missed due to rendering lag or skipped frames due to encoding lag, the information in this #shorts video will help you troubleshoot and eliminate lag, frame drops and stuttering whether you're on a low, mid or high end PC setup for a smoother experience.

When using OBS Studio, it’s important to know the best OBS tips to enhance your streaming or recording experience. One useful feature is the preview window, which allows you to see what’s happening in your stream or recording in real-time. If you’re new to OBS, you might find OBS tips for beginners and OBS tips for recording especially helpful. To take your skills to the next level, explore OBS studio tips and tricks or OBS pro tips to optimize your setup. However, if you encounter issues with the preview, like OBS preview laggy or OBS preview stuttering, you might need to adjust your settings. In some cases, disabling the preview altogether using the OBS disable preview option can help improve performance. For smoother transitions, learning how to set up OBS hotkeys is crucial, but if your OBS hotkeys are not working, or specifically if OBS hotkeys are not working while in game, troubleshooting is required. You can also easily switch scenes in OBS with hotkeys, streamlining your workflow. Alongside these tips, be sure to check out the best OBS settings, including the best OBS settings for streaming and the best OBS settings for recording, to ensure high-quality output. Whether you're a beginner or an expert like Shogoz, these tips can greatly improve your OBS experience.
Common FPS Values options are: 10, 20, 24 NTSC, 25 PAL, 29.97, 30, 48, 50 PAL, 59.94 and 60 fps.
Twitch's Encoding Guide:
Encoding Performance
Encoding can be taxing on your system. x264 will utilize a lot of your CPU, resulting in lower FPS. Alternatively, GPU encoding (e.g. NVIDIA NVENC) utilizes a dedicated encoder in the GPU, allowing you to play and stream without impacting game performance.
Encoding Quality
NVIDIA NVENC hardware encoder offers consistent quality based on the generation of the encoder. The updated NVIDIA Encoder (NVENC) on Turing-based NVIDIA GeForce GPUs (RTX 20-Series and GTX 1660/Ti) will typically produce superior quality than x264 Fast and on par with x264 medium. While the older generation (Pascal, Kepler) are similar with veryfast/faster quality.
Nvidia's overview of the output settings:
Encoder: software vs hardware encoding options
Rate Control: This determines the rate at which frames are going to be encoded
Bitrate: Depends on your internet connection speed
Keyframe Interval: Most streaming platforms require a setting of 2
Preset P1-P7: Select Quality
Profile: Set to High. Profile determines a group of settings in the H.264 Codec. It doesn’t impact performance and gives access to a set of features that are key to streaming, so this should always be set to High
Look-ahead: This allows the encoder to dynamically select the number of B-Frames, between 0 and the number of B-Frames you specify. B-frames increase image quality, but they consume a lot of your available bitrate, so they reduce quality on high motion content. Look-ahead enables the best of both worlds. This is CUDA accelerated; turn this off if your GPU utilization is high to ensure a smooth stream
Psycho Visual Tuning: This enables the Rate Distortion Optimization in the encoder, which greatly optimizes the way you use bitrate, improving image quality on movement
GPU: 0. If you have 2 GPUs, you can select which one is used to encode.
Max B-Frames: If you uncheck the Look-ahead option, use 2 B-Frames
