How to optimize your display and controls
OBS has many possible customization to suite your needs. In order to streamline and simplify your controls; as well as to increase the size of the video displaying the eyes, here are a couple recommended steps to optimize your display. Start by opening OBS.
A. Turn off Docks that are not required
In OBS, navigate to the Docks tab in the upper left and click on it. Uncheck Lock Docks, Audio Mixer, and Scene Transitions.
B. Moves Docks to Side
- Move the mouse over the top bar until you see the arrow.
Note: If you see two parallel lines with two arrows, you are too high on the bar.
- Click, hold, and drag the top bar of Scenes, Sources, and Controls to move them to the left, or the right side.
- When the area turns blue in the place where you would like the dock to be, let go of the mouse.
Note: Watch the above video for further explanation.
C. Remove Additional Unnecessary Items
Click the View tab in the upper left. If Scene/Source List Buttons, Source Toolbar, or Source Icons have a check mark next to them, you can uncheck them to turn them off.
D. Adjust Docks
Move the mouse in the area between two of the boxes until you see the mouse turn into two parallel lines with arrows. When you see this, click, hold and drag to expand and condense the boxes.
E. Lock Docks
- Your Display and Controls are now optimized!
- Lastly, you can lock the docks so they are not accidentally rearranged. To do this click on Docks in the upper left corner, and click on Lock Docks.
