I upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 today and when I went to make a screenrecording using OBS Studio, I received the following error:

"
Failed to start Recording

Starting the output failed. Please check the log for details.

Note: If you are using the NVENC or AMD encoders, make sure your video drivers are up to date.

This video shows you how to quickly update your settings to fix this error.

I recorded this video using a free and open source screen recorder called Kazam. To download Kazam, just run: sudo apt install kazam
