Select the appropriate video source(s), and you’ll be set to start recording.

Two sets of configurations need to be completed before your PC is ready to record and. This will give you several options, including Game Capture, Window, or Video Capture Device (for capturing webcam video). The OBS Studio software aids players in screen capturing and live-streaming gameplay of their favorite titles. Find the Sources box at the bottom of the screen and click +. Next, you’ll need to add your video source(s). Then verify that it has the right audio device selected or change it if you’re using another device. You can do this by clicking Settings > Audio. Once you’ve run the auto-config tool, check that OBS is set up for your preferred audio device. If you just want to record one app at a time, such as a game or an app you downloaded from the Microsoft Store, you can use. This should include the settings for your recording, resolution, encoder, bitrate, and other settings. Run this tool to let OBS automatically check your system’s requirements and attempt to find the settings appropriate for your computer.

If the Auto-Configuration Wizard tool doesn’t automatically pop up, you can find it in the Tools menu at the top of your screen. I have experimented with it, but haven't yet moved my work to it due to lack of time.Īny of these two distributions of OBS would work as you intended.When you first open OBS Studio, you should be prompted to go through the auto-configuration process. Martin has yet another OBS distribution, a portable version of OBS, where he's also adding the extras that you can find on OBS Fully Loaded, it's OBS Studio Portable for Ubuntu, and while it does have some advantages like making it easer to have many independent installations of OBS that you can easily share with others, it does have some limitations that are mentioned on the readme file on the github repository. I do use it, and I can't recommend it enough. Martin Wimpress, the project leader for Ubuntu Mate, and previous maintainer of the OBS Snap, has created a distribution of OBS for Ubuntu called OBS Studio - Fully Loaded!, it does include the extension I mentioned previously and other bells and whistles. There's an extension to obs to add a source for Pipewire screen recording, however I've never installed it on an vanilla OBS installation.

As already stated you'll need to use Pipewire to capture the screen under Wayland.
