+====== Screen Capture with OBS Studio ======
+You can use [[https://obsproject.com/|OBS Studio]] to create recordings of your entire screen or specific windows. To get started you'll need to do a little bit of setup. The first thing to do is set your recording options. Then you'll set up your canvas with what you want to record.
+====== Set Recording Options ======
+When you open OBS Studio for the first time, you will want to set a few recording options for the best results. You'll only need to do this once.
+  - Hit the Settings button in the right pane of the window.
+  - Click **Output** in the left pane.
+  - In the Recording section:
+    - Set the Recording Quality to **High Quality, Medium File Size**.
+    - Set the Recording Format to **mp4**.
+    - Click **Apply**.
+  - Click **Audio** in the left pane.
+    - Set the Channels to **Mono**.
+  - Click **Video** in the left pane.
+    - Set the Common FPS Values field to 20.
+    - //Optional:// Set the Output (Scaled) Resolution to be the same as the canvas resolution if you don't want the output video to be shrunk down.
+  - Click **OK** and then exit and restart OBS Studio.
+====== Capture Full Screen ======
+To start recording video you need to specify a capture source.
+  - Under Sources in the main window, click the plus button to add a source.
+  - Select **Display Capture**.
+  - In the Create/Select Source window, click OK.
+  - //Optional:// Select the display for display capture. Otherwise click OK.
+  - You should now see a preview of your screen in OBS.
+====== Recording ======
+Once you've set your recording options and capture source(s), you can hit **Start Recording** to begin. When you're done, click **Stop Recording**. A video will be saved in the Videos folder in your Documents folder. Whenever you exit and reopen OBS, it will use the settings you used last time.
