Fix OBS encoding error: Failed to start recording

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
