window capture bug

This has been happening for a while now, and seems to be getting worse over time. Spotify will just be a static image unless I have the window open. Discord will just be a grey screen. Hovering over the program in the taskbar and making the little preview popup will cause the capture to start...

Hello everyone, Huge fan of OBS Studio and have streamed with it in the past in different environments. This time, I am trying to stream Chromium on OBS and I'm having a hard time. It's displaying other apps (see screenshot) - but my main goal is to have it show my browser as I'm trying to live...

I use the latest OBS, when I have to capture specific windows on my PC, I find that OBS can't detect even one window open by me. And this problem happens randomly, I cant make forecast. For example, I am now opening at least 4 apps, including Chrome, Explorer, Tencent Docs, and WeWork(See my...

Hello, my OBS is capturing himself every time when I select some window to capture, but when I select screen capture he works normally. I'm using Windows 7 and before I use Windows 10 when I usually used OBS too and capture window without any bugs like that. If anyone can help me, I'd be so...

this used to be an issue that recently came back to me, open a video displaying it in obs window capture, it will only show up when I have that window up on my screen, if I overlap it with another window of any program (even another window in google chrome) the video will disappear and become...

Howdy, Just updated to the newest version of OBS, apparently I missed six whole versions, and I use the application to stream artwork weekly. I wanted to implement a countdown timer into my stream and naturally, figured the software would be able to capture the WINDOWS 10 ALARMS & CLOCK...

For some reason, Window Capture, while it works, offsets anything captured from the top and left side of the video by a good chunk and chops off the bottom and right hand side as well. I've tried different window sources, and all have the same problem. I'm running version 26.1.2 on iMac...

This isn't causing any major problems, it's just something weird I noticed. Sometimes I'll livestream myself painting or make a speedpainting video using Krita. Because Krita is a painting software and not a game, I click on "Window Capture". However, it's not there. I click on "Game Capture"...

Hello, Just downloaded the latest OBS26 to get the native virtual camera. Had a scene set up in OBS25 that captured a sound level meter window from Audio Hijack. Under version 25 this worked perfectly and captured the window whenever it was visible. Under version 26 this window is not...

When I add a Window capture, and click the Window list, it just shows a list of "unknown". It doesn't matter which of the "unknown" I choose. It doesn't change window. It's always only show the last started program no matter which of the "unknown" sources i choose. So if OBS is the last program...

Hi, I have both a mac and a windows, On my windows machine I have tons of option to manipulate my webcam. However on my Mac I have none of these options. Whats the deal? Do I need to reinstall OBS on my Mac? Something is definitely not right. Windows OBS Mac:

Usei o Windows 10 e comecei a usar o Windows 7 (devido a necessidades), mas depois a captura de janela não está funcionando, em vez de aparecer apenas a janela capturada (Selecionada) está mostrando tudo, como se fosse a captura de tela.

I know I've made this post already but it's been a while and I feel the need to post this again, especially after the update. The Window Capture is broken and needs to be fixed immediately! I can't display Google Chrome, Preview, TextEdit, Notes, etc. It only shows the windows on OBS. My Video...

Hi there, the forum is full of explanations why inception / infinite mirros occur when doing a screen capture. That is all clear. -> BUT, why does inception / infinite mirrors also occur when choosing WINDOW CAPTURE ??? Isn`t that designed to only capture the selected window ? For example, if...

I have a Window Capture source that seems to toggle back and forth between capturing the desired window and capturing the display. The toggling seems to depend on the active window and whether the window being captured is maximized. To be specific: - When the captured window is minimized and...
