Hi, I'm trying to use OBS to capture a PowerPoint slide show (Office 365) and am having difficulties. Can someone please help?
I can launch the ppt slide show and can do a widow capture in OBS and see the cropped window with my 'floating head'. My problem is once recording in OBS I don't see how to advance the slides in the ppt slide show. I've tried F5, arrows up/down, etc. but while in OBS the ppt doesn't respond to this. Any suggestions ?? I've looked at many YouTube videos on OBS but didn't find a solution.
If I use ppt only to record, and not OBS, the recording works but I can't alter the size or placement of the talking head ....
This is my first course, and first time using video tools ...

Is OBS still in focus? I believe the PPT show needs to have focus, in order to respond to anything. Window-on-top, highlighted, whatever term you use for that.
