It took a bit of doing to get hardware encoding working on my Intel based laptop. Here are the quick steps to get it working. If there is interest, I'll make a video tutorial.

1. Add the OBS PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
2. Install OBS

sudo apt install obs-studio
3. Install intel-media-va-driver-non-free

sudo apt install intel-media-va-driver-non-free
4. Reboot
5. Open OBS goto File > Settings > Output > Advanced > Streaming / Recording > Encoder FFMPEG VAAPI
