How to record your gameplay with OBS Studio


[ad_1]

There are times when players have an amazing time at Valorant that they feel like sharing with everyone online. However, the problem is that Valorant does not have an in-game solution for recording gameplay.

To counter this problem, there are various third-party screen recording solutions that gamers can use to capture their gameplay. For example, this article will use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), which is completely free and open source.

Although the software may seem complicated to beginners at first, the interface is much easier to understand once users get used to it. To help you recode Valorant’s gameplay footage, this article will provide a detailed guide on how to do it.


Recording Valorant gameplay with OBS Studio

If users have already installed OBS, they can skip these steps. For users who do not have OBS Studio on their system, here are the steps to upload and install it for free.

Step 1: To get OBS Studio, users must first go to the official OBS Project website to access their download portal.

2nd step: Download OBS for Windows by clicking the download option labeled “Windows” on the left. After clicking on it, the OBS Studio download will start and be on the user’s system.

Step 3: Open the downloaded configuration for OBS and start installing the software in the desired system location.

Once the installation is complete, OBS Studio will be available on their system and can be opened by players to record their Valorant gameplay. However, the software is not prepared for recording and must be configured manually.


The following steps will help users configure OBS Studio to record Valorant gameplay on their system:

Step 1: Right after opening, the first thing users need to do is go to the settings present in the lower right corner of the software.

2nd step: When opening the settings, users need to go to the Output tab and set the video bit rate to 6000 Kbps, encoder to hardware, and audio bit rate to 256. Also, if users want to change their location saving, they can do this by configuring the save path location in the same settings tab.

Step 3: The next thing that users should visit is the Audio tab and set Desktop Audio to “Off”. If users have an audio input device like a microphone, they can add it by configuring the Mic / Auxiliary device in the same tab.

Step 4: The final setting that needs to be adjusted is found in the Video tab and will vary from user to user. Set the base and output resolution you want, if 1080p, choose 1920×1080 and set Common FPS to 60 to make the capture look smoother.

Step 5: After making all the changes, users should press the “Apply” button and save any changes made.

Step 6: Now click on the “Scene” button in the lower left corner of the screen and tap on the plus icon present under the Sources tab next to the Scene tab. After clicking the plus icon, a drop-down menu will appear and add, Game Capture and Audio Output Capture. Under the Sources tab, two new tabs will be present and need to be configured.

Step 7: Open Valorant on the system and return to OBS by pressing Alt + Tab. Click once on the Game Capture option and select “Capture Specific Window” mode and select the “Valorant.exe” window.

Step 8: Click once on Audio Output Capture and select the device that takes the audio output from Valorant.

Our Rioters and collaborators around the world (and of course our gaming community) have taken VALORANT to the next level this year. I used my skills as an amateur editor to put it all together in appreciating it all. I hope you like! ❤️❤️❤️youtu.be / kNOJY-KTQ1g

Once everything is configured, users can start recording their Valorant gameplay by clicking on the “Start recording” button at the bottom right of OBS Studio. To stop recording, press the Stop Recording button and the recorded video will be saved to the already configured location.
