Before starting microphone configuration, it's important to make sure the equipment itself is working correctly. Most problems occur even before launching OBS Studio, so you need to check the physical connection first. Make sure the cable is firmly inserted and the Mute or power button on the microphone body is not pressed.

Sometimes a stream on Twitch doesn't go as planned: audio problems, accidentally shown content, or simply an unsuccessful stream. In such cases, it becomes necessary to remove the stream recording or completely delete VOD. The problem is that many streamers don't understand where to look for past streams and how to work with them.

The situation when OBS displays a black screen instead of an image when launching a source is familiar to many streamers. The program is running, the scene is active, but the game is not displayed in the preview, recording, or stream. Essentially, OBS studio continues to work, but the game simply doesn't show.

Custom resub messages are a feature that allows subscribers to add their own text when renewing their subscription. Initially, the platform only had standard renewal notifications, but then Twitch expanded the system, and now viewers can send a personal message, which displays a prominent block in chat with custom text and a subscriber badge.

Local recording is the ability to save a file directly to your disk while streaming. Unlike VODs on Twitch, which are stored for a limited time, local files will be stored for as long as you decide. VODs remain on platform servers for 14 days for regular accounts and up to 60 days for partners, Prime and Turbo. But they can be deleted due to DMCA, technical failure, or storage period expiration.
