While Streamlabs lets you easily adjust your mic volume, gameplay audio and other sources during your stream, you’ll probably want to have full control of these elements when you edit your recording. If your computer uses built-in CPU-based graphics, choose “Software (x264).” If you have a dedicated video card, select it from the list (AMD and NVENC are two common examples). You’ll need to set this in two places: the Streaming tab and the Recording tab. This setting determines whether Streamlabs will use your CPU or a dedicated video card to encode video for streaming and recording.

We recommend using mp4 for high-quality recordings. Just below the Recording Path setting, you can choose a format for your videos. Under the Recording tab, click “Browse” and navigate to the folder where you want to save your recordings. Choose your destination carefully, so you don’t have to go hunting through your hard drive to find them later. This setting determines where your recorded files will end up.
