    Do you think the M2 chip has the most powerful integrated graphics of all time? Check out the full test stream I did here ➤ th-cam.com/video/0D56-N6tOOA/w-d-xo.html

      So I have a gaming channel and I have the 14” MacBook Pro M1 chip with 16gb ram and 1tb of storage with the hd60s+ and I’ve had so many issues with streaming lately. I used to never have issues with dropped frames or pixelation. I’ve tried so many settings and options I’ve even followed your videos and I have 200 down and 20 up as the speeds from my isp. I’m getting more frustrated than anything else. Although your video did help with recording it captured my ps5 beautifully with no dropped frames or pixelation. Any ideas on what else to try and I use streamlabs. I appreciate your videos too.

    Thanks for making this! Been looking for a solution for when playing more demanding games and doing a single PC setup struggles a bit. I may have to give my work laptop a go for streaming those games, as it seems like the M2 is going to do much better than a GPU that's trying to play and stream at the same time. Great job on the video as well, this was short enough to keep people's attention but didn't miss any talking points.

    Hey bro! My stream runs well but when im playing like resident evil village…..when the certain cutscenes come on or some parts of the game are rail based….the monitor screen goes black? Any reason why this happens? Could it be my macbook or monitor? Im thinking about upgrading to the m2 to see if that fixes it….or could it just be the hdmi? Im so confused cause the game runs fine but the cutscenes just make the screen go black on my monitor ….(not the stream)

    He at 2:27 shows it at 60 fps, I tried that. Super choppy because of encoding lag . Later in the video shows him streaming at 30 fps at 6:34 😢 guess it can’t achieve that

    Question: I used my MacBook Air (M3) to record some gameplay yesterday and while it worked fine, my laptop was heating up quite a bit. I'm a little concerned about long term using my laptop for recording games or even streaming using OBS and a capture card. I don't wanna ruin my laptop (it's also brand new). I'm guessing down the road I'm gonna wanna get a PC of some kind for using OBS...? For reference, I recorded a little over an hours worth of content from my PS5.

    Thank you for this great review!
    I usually run TH-cam and Twitch at the same time (sometimes a couple of each) along with some other basic web browser pages (news, sports etc). I also play Football Manager and watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and Sky Go. I assume this laptop (base model) will be fine for that without overheating?
    I currently have a £1,000 HP laptop but am considering returning it as the battery is so poor (3-4 hours with very basic use) and it has a touch screen I don't use. Although it's very nice it's not as sleek or sexy as this M2 Macbook Air (I also love this Midnight Blue colour and it will match my iPhone 13 mini nicely).

    I tried with less hz, less bit rate, less everything and it still sucked. I'm not sure if maybe the issue was that 1 camera is a 2k camera and the other one is a 4k camera. By the way, the computer was a 108 Celsius, so it was just crap.
    I will try with the M4 Pro Max and let you know how it goes!

    Hey quick question what adaptor did you use for the MacBook Air m2 since it doesn’t have the normal usb on it? I think my logi tech web cam glitches “rarely notice but still”when I try to use it to record and idk if it’s something to do with settings or my usb adapter.

    Did it end up letting you stream in 60fps? You said something about it only letting you do 30. Also what are the other specs of this macbook? Ram and SSD size?

    • @MidnightMan

      8 gigs of RAM, 256 gig SSD. I wouldn’t push 60fps for my streams for some reason even though I had it set. I’ll be looking for this feature in the native silicon version

    What would you recommend if you’re trying to record and stream at the same time on Mac book pro 14 inch

    • @MidnightMan
      @MidnightMan  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would do both processes on the hardware encoder, but you may need to lower your bitrate for each depending on performance. As you might of seen in one of my test shots in this video I was able to successfully record and stream at the same time.

    When I add the audio input, it doesn’t pick up audio even though it reads the device. Could it be my adapter?

    Could someone explain to me why on my M2 Macbook air when I record I have to use the 3420x2214 resolution instead of my screen resolution (1710x1107)? because every time I try to put less it's as if it has a 144p quality that looks terrible and I'm forced to use a lot of useless memory, and I've also tried with other applications, help please

    • @lendyno34
      @lendyno34 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      then another problem is that if I use a different encoder from software (x264 preset with low CPU usage, increases the file size) the videos in 60hz will come out lagged even if when I record it was normal and fluid please help on this problem I need it a lot

      Usb C to Usb C doesnt work i also noticed it doesnt power it properly it will show up and then turn dark screen on my mac. I think you need a usb c to Usb 3 adapter to utilize the usb 3 that came with the elgato. I will try tomorrow. Did you get yours running?
