-==== Output Resolution ====
+=== General Tips ===
-Performance improves significantly when [[Video_recording#Output|a smaller resolution]] is selected. It also reduces size of the output file.
+*Choose smaller [[Recorder#Video|output resolution]]
+*Choose lower [[Recorder#Video|video quality]]
+*Choose lower [[Recorder#Video|frame rate]]
+*Choose different [[Capture mode]] to record smaller area of screen
-==== Frame-Rate ====
+=== Gaming ===
-Another important factor in improving performance is frame rate of the output size. [[Settings#Video|Lower frame rate]] improves performance significantly. However, a very low frame rate video may also look laggy. Currently, the default frame rate is set to 20; if you are experiencing performance issues, we suggest you to lower the frame rate to 10.
+If you use Screenbits to record your gaming experience, try the workarounds below to improve recording performance.
-==== Output Quality ====
+*Use [[Hotkeys]] to '''start recording in game''' rather than starting when the game is minimized
-Lowering [[Settings#Video|quality of the output ]] is another way to improve the performance.
+*Choose a lower video resolution from game options
+*Choose a lower video quality settings from game options
-==== Capture Area ====
+==Audio==
-If recording entire desktop is not necessary, you may use different [[Video_recording#Capture Modes|capture mode]] to record smaller area.

-==== Display Resolution ====
+==== Use default formats ====
-Usually, display adapters support multiple resolutions for the display. Selecting a lower resolution improves performance significantly. To lower the display resolution:
+If you record audio, select one of the following formats for the audio device from [[Output#Audio|Output audio settings]]
+*2 channel (stereo), 16bit, 44100 Hz
+*2 channel (stereo), 16bit, 48000 Hz
-#Open '''Settings''' app from '''Action Center'''.
+==== Select the same format for multiple devices ====
-#Click '''System''' to open ''System settings''.
+If you record both recording and playback devices, make sure same format is selected for both devices. To make input and output match together to perform better, select '''Auto''' for sample-rate and channels from [[Output#Audio|Output audio settings]].
-#From the left side menu, Click '''Display''' to open ''Display'' settings.
-#From '''Resolution''' selector, select an smaller resolution.
-#Click '''Keep Changes''' to confirm
-=== Game Settings ===
-If you use Screenbits to record your gaming experience, you can also improve performance of the app significantly by adjusting settings in game.
-==== Start recording in game ====
-It is highly recommended to start recording in-game rather than starting when the game is minimized and then switching to the game. You can use [[Settings#Hotkeys|hotkeys]] to start recording in game while the app is minimized.
-==== Game Resolution ====
-Using lower resolutions improves performance significantly. Refer to your game options to lower the resolution, if supported.
-==== Video Quality ====
-Lowering the video quality can also improve performance. Refer to your game options to lower the quality, if supported.
