Maxxx... Leave your screen settings the way they have been. OBS doesn't care. It will detect and display the game. In OBS, Set up a Hotkey for start and stop streaming.

tbanks Brad but howwill i see what im streaming if both my moniter and screen shows optishot ?

[braycobb]

I was just coming back to post you would need to extend your screen if you wanted to see what OBS is streaming 😄

[braycobb]

Here is what I do: I open up Google Chrome. Then I open up OBS. Then I go in and set my screens to extend to number two. I also set screen two to be the primary monitor. Then I open up Optishot. Now iptishot should run on screen to and chrome and OBS on your main screen. So you will be displaying Optishot on your projector and OBS and chrome on your monitor.

By the way, hitting alt plus tab will release the cursor to go back to the other windows you have open. If you're displaying OPtishot in OBS when you hit alt plus tab OBS will continue display the game window even though you were switching back to the other windows.

OK so I just managed to play the official released version, setup twitch which streamed fine, however twitch didn't keep the clip afterwards - what do I need to do to save my twitch recordings?
Trying to upload now to youtube but 2 attempts have failed at 94% saying processing :-/

Maybe i'm too impatient youtube has finally completed http://youtu.be/wsKsXoXAYnM
I would like to know how to save my twitch streams on twitch tho.

[braycobb]

There is a setting in Twitch...Under Settings, go to "Channels & Videos". Then make sure "Automatically archive my broadcasts" is checked. Then save changes.
