Color on SPECIFIC Window?

[happycuppy]

Hello,

I want to have a single scene that I want to use while using one or more windows.
For one of them I want to have a some rectangle filled with some color - I want to cover a specific part of it. Is it possible to display it only if that window is in view? Meaning that if I were to have other windows on top of it, the color wouldn't be displayed on top of them?

You could add that window to your scene as a Window Capture, add a Color Source on top of it and resize to suit, then Group those window and color sources together.
It's not going to work with something like a Desktop/Monitor Capture, but should be okay for blocking out part of a window.

That said, there CAN be a brief delay when initializing sources sometimes, so if you're concerned about leaking PII, it's better to just not include the window on-screen at all.

Thanks for the information and advice. :)
That's what I was thinking to do.

Without hiding it wouldn't be a huge security risk, but something that I'd mostly like to avoid - it's displaying extensions on Google Chrome - I have my Password Manager there that I use for everything on my streaming, and I don't want to toggle it manually each time or set a separate shortcut for my browser that hides it. I also want it for the sake of not having displayed on the screen what's irrelevant for the content - I think it's more elegant that way.

About the brief delay that you mentioned that can happen - wouldn't that not matter for PII hiding sInce those two sources would load together as a group, no?

It could happen that the browser window capture could load first, and take a few frames for the color source to be initialized. At which point if you were showing something like credit card details, home address, phone number, or your real name, someone with interest could go back and step frame by frame to grab that information.
While that shouldn't happen with a Color Source (as they're extremely lightweight, so init very fast) it isn't an impossibility.

This is also one big reason that individual source captures are strongly recommended. Makes it much easier to control what makes it onto the stream. I know one streamer who ended up banned when they were using a Display Capture and alt-tabbed, not realizing that the porn they had left open in another window was very visible in the alt-tab preview list, and was shown on-stream.
