# How to optimally capture LIV
The most commonly used software for video recording and streaming is **Open Broadcaster Software (OBS)**. It's the most lightweight capturing tool out there, and it's also really easy to set up! We strongly recommend it.
They have a very well written wiki on how to quickly get started:[https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview](https://obsproject.com/wiki/OBS-Studio-Overview)
Capturing LIV with OBS couldn't be easier. Simply add a new "Game Capture" source to your scene and target the LIV output. Resize the window to fit your frame and voilà, you're good to go
After downloading and setting up OBS [https://obsproject.com/download](https://obsproject.com/download) [https://obsproject.com/help](https://obsproject.com/help) you will need to add LIV as a source, in the Sources box click the + sign in that location.
It will bring up a new menu and you want to select Game Capture
Click ok after selecting Game capture
Next you will need to select the mode, click the gear cog to open properties for the selected source then in the drop down menu labeled Mode, select **Capture specific window**
In the Window drop down menu select **\[capture.exe]: LIV Output**
After that click ok.
You should be ready to start recording or streaming now 😊
