❌ SECTION 5: 7 OBS Mistakes That Will Crash Your Stream
-
Forgetting to click Start Streaming 😅
Sounds silly — but it happens a lot. -
Using default mic (laptop)
Always select and test your real mic. -
Dropping frames = wrong bitrate
Lower your bitrate if your upload speed is low. -
No scene transitions
Add a quick fade between scenes for a polished look. -
Ignoring audio sync
Check mic sync vs. video using OBS’s sync offset. -
Streaming in low light
Poor lighting = poor quality, even with a good camera. -
Multitasking while streaming
Close unnecessary programs. OBS is resource-hungry.
