OBS Studio Recording Directly to Cloud Storage: A Setup Guide

Описание и применение

Запись видео OBS напрямую в облако освобождает локальный диск и устраняет необходимость последующей загрузки.

Local disk fills up when recording high‑resolution video, requiring post‑recording uploads.

Video files are streamed directly to cloud storage, freeing local disk space and removing the need for post‑recording uploads.

Install OBS Studio from obsproject.com
Download and install ScsDriver from drive.scsoi.com
Add a WebDAV or S3 endpoint in ScsDriver and mount it as a drive letter (e.g., N:)
Create a folder N:\OBS-Recordings\
Configure OBS output: set Output mode to Advanced, Type to Standard, Recording path to N:\OBS-Recordings\, format to mp4 or mkv, encoder to x264 or NVENC
Adjust recording bitrate to match available upload bandwidth (e.g., 8 Mbps for 10 Mbps upload) and use CBR
Test recording: monitor OBS’s missed frames counter and lower bitrate if it rises
Start recording; files are written directly to the cloud mount and already uploaded when recording stops

A 4K stream at 30Mbps produces 13GB per hour.

If you use mkv, you can remux to mp4 later (Edit → Remux Recordings). mkv is more resilient to crashes mid-record.

OBS settings → Output → Recording → Bitrate: set to a value under your available upload. Use CBR (constant bitrate) to avoid burst issues.
