uh hello guys uh welcome to this live
0:08
stream so in this live stream I will
0:09
show you
0:11
uh how to fix OBS Studio lagging or
0:14
freezing during uh streaming or
0:16
recording a video while you are doing
0:18
some kind of gaming or programming
0:20
inside VS code so it specifically asked
0:24
for Windows machines as well i
0:26
personally faced this problem and I
0:28
fixed it i will show you the solution so
0:31
first of all just right click and here
0:33
you need to go to display settings just
0:36
go to this option
0:39
and when you do this you will land on
0:42
this interface so right here you will
0:45
see graphics simply select the graphics
0:48
settings right here after that you just
0:51
need to go to advanc graphic settings
0:55
and right here there will be this option
0:58
here which will be hardware accelerated
1:00
GPUuling by default this will be turned
1:03
on so you just need to toggle this off
1:07
so by default this will be on so you
1:10
just need to toggle this off and after
1:13
doing this you just need to restart your
1:15
machine restart your computer and then
1:20
if you open OB OBS Studio and start
1:24
streaming or use any sort of application
1:26
in background such as VS Code or if you
1:29
are doing some kind of gaming so you
1:31
will not feel any any lag or it will not
1:34
be
1:35
lagging or freezing so I personally
1:40
have done this and I've seeing
1:43
difference
1:45
so and one more thing you need to do you
1:47
need to add your app inside this graphic
1:51
settings so whichever app that you are
1:53
using right here I've already added this
1:56
OBS studio right here and so that my GPU
1:59
is using it so by default it will be let
2:03
Windows decide you just need to make
2:05
sure that it is using high performance
2:08
Nvidia graphics card
2:11
any more app in my case it is VS code i
2:14
have already added this app as well
2:16
which is also using the GPU
2:20
high performance
2:22
like this
2:24
so
2:26
so this is the fix here just toggle this
2:29
option off and you will see a lot of
2:32
difference and
2:35
you just need to restart your computer
2:37
and then start using OBS Studio you will
2:40
not see any lag or freezing so this was
2:43
