Question / Help 2 Monitors

[Cytra]

Hi guys!

So, I bought a second moni so I can watch the chat without tabbing out (on the same screen), which of course works pretty well so far. But when I want to get active for a few seconds in the the explorer I have to pause m game so the mouse curser is there and switch my mouse to the other monitor. But I also see a lot of people ansering messages without pressing "pause" and even without a frozen game screen, which I get temporaril as I still have to alt+tab. Can anyone help me here?

They are probably running the game in Windowed or Borderless mode.

I also do, but nevertheless I have to tab out or almost pause the game to become active in an explorer.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "become active in the explorer". What are you trying to do when you alt-tab? Are you sure it's not just a matter of seeing the person respond in chat before the video actually shows them responding on the Twitch delay?

Here is a nice program I use to get around the alt+tab issue. I stream a lot of minecraft, and to get fullscreen in OBS, I have to use F11 to make it fullscreen. Alt+tab makes the game not fullscreen, and it looks bad in OBS. To get around this issue, I use windowed borderless. This program allows you to play any games in fullscreen, but fullscreen borderless. Check it out, very useful for streamers and people who alt+tab a lot.
