Effective reset of Streamlabs OBS

Streamlabs OBS can sometimes have issues that cannot be resolved through conventional methods. If you want to reset powerfully and thoroughly to "zero", resetting the settings of Streamlabs OBS is an effective solution. This guide will help you step by step to reset your settings and ensure that you export everything necessary beforehand to ensure a smooth restart.

Main Points to Remember

• Before resetting your Streamlabs OBS, export your scenes and sources.
• You can also backup other important settings such as microphone filters.
• The actual reset process is simple: Go to the menu and select "Clear Cache and Restart".

Step-by-Step Guide

To reset your Streamlabs OBS settings, follow these steps.

First, make sure you are accessing the right areas. Click on the gear symbol in the bottom left corner. This symbol is located in the user interface and gives you access to the settings.

Now you are in the menu for general settings. Here you will find an option that allows you to clear your cache. Look for "Clear Cache and Restart". Make sure you understand that this action will reset all your current settings.

However, before proceeding, it is crucial to make some preparations. I recommend exporting your overlay. This way, you have saved your scenes and sources in a file that you can later re-import. To do this, go to the scene collection.

Click on the option "Export Overlay File". Then choose a location where you want to place this file. This will securely save your overlay, including the sources and scenes.

Once you have completed this step, you can now backup other important settings. Especially the audio settings can be crucial. To save the microphone filters, go to your microphone at the bottom right. Click on the gear symbol that shows you the microphone settings.

Here you can select the filters and take a short video or screenshot of the settings. This way, you can easily restore the same values later and ensure that your audio quality remains intact.

Similarly, you can check and backup more settings. You should document your output settings, especially for recording and streaming quality. Take screenshots or short videos of the relevant settings to be able to access them later.

Once you have completed this preparation step, return to the general settings. Click on "Clear Cache and Restart" to finish the reset process.

After the restart, you can now restore your scenes and sources through the imported overlay file. This is done in the same section where you exported them earlier. Go to the option "Import Overlay File" and select the previously saved file.

By doing this, you have almost reset Streamlabs from scratch and are ready to continue working with a fresh, error-free interface.

Summary

Resetting Streamlabs OBS can be an effective way to solve application issues. Remember to backup your scenes and important settings before resetting, and follow the above steps to ensure a smooth restart.
