I'm using OBS Studio 30.2.3 on Ubuntu 22.04.
I would like to record a youtube video, using my Firefox browser.

I'm not sure which source is best suited for that task among all the options that I have :

So far, the only source I was able to make work was the "Screen Capture" source, so I put youtube
on full-screen for the recording. But the result is unsatisfying, the result is cropped even though I did not ask for it.

So, which source is best suited for this task ?

Here we go again.

Is the video yours? If not, do you have permission from the actual owner? Either way, can you get the original file so that this question becomes moot? Getting it the way you're asking is difficult on purpose, because most of the time, it's illegal for what people end up doing with it.

There are a few cases where it's okay, like for a personal archive that NEVER goes anywhere else. But there are enough people that see "how to grab that" and go plug their Patreon with it with no further thought, that we can't just say how to do it with no further qualification. That would be encouraging copyright infringement.

Got it, thanks for your explanation (and your patience, since you indicate it's not the first time you're giving it)
