This guide will provide detailed information about each of the different fields and settings of the Backtrack Settings in the General Settings tab of the Aitum Vertical plugin.
If you aren’t familiar with what backtrack is or what it does, it works in the same way as the OBS Studio Replay buffer.
It saves a short portion of the stream in memory, based on the Backtrack Recording Length. So if the length is set to 15 seconds, then the last 15 seconds of the stream will always be available to be saved at any given moment.
This can be triggered via the blue Backtrack button on the Vertical canvas, the Save Backtrack Hotkey or more easily with the Aitum app using a simple action!
Feel free to check out the Aitum App at Aitum.tv and ask us in Discord about how you can use it to make streaming easier for you and more engaging for your audience!
Default Value: Checked (On)
This checkbox allows the Backtrack to automatically activate when streaming or recording, and automatically deactivate when all streams or recordings are stopped. This also includes the main OBS stream and recording being activated/deactivated.
<aside> 🚨 Note: Turning the Vertical Virtual Camera on or off will also trigger the Backtrack to start and stop in the same way.

If you uncheck (turn off) this setting, the Backtrack will not activate unless you activate the ‘Backtrack Always On’ setting.
