Hey guys! Could i do that? For example im playing the witcher 3 on my pc and want to record some stream on twich at the same time. If yes, pls explain how to do it.

Sure, just have a 2nd display, put a Twitch window and OBS on it, and then record that display. You may need to not play your game in full screen mode in case it blanks out other displays.

Thanks! I'll try it. And i have an additional question. Is it possible to record one browser window, when you surfing in another one? F.e. im watching in chrome youtube and want to screen record mozilla twitch window.

There are better ways to do that, but to explain that, we need to know what exactly you try to achieve.

I have one monitor. And i want to be able to watch something/work while im recording a stream. I dont want to just record a stream and not to be able to use my pc because of recording.

OK I think I understand now your use case. You really should consider using stream link for your recording, because the quality will be better and you can use your monitor complete

So if i add a link it will record fullscreen stream in HD?( or i need setup it before ) And while it's recording i can use my pc like i want (working,watching movie or playing a game) ?

No, the suggestion was to use StreamLink, and not OBS, for recording the stream.
