It should I guess, but you shouldn't rely on it as you'll most likely end up with a blank black screen if you don't double check.
With a 2 monitor setup it's much easier to see if it's capturing properly, 1 monitor setup and it gets a bit tricky; Basically forcing you to alt tab, select the game, and then go back in the game. However even then it can still capture a blank black screen depending on the game and version of OBS.

It's actually a bad design that I don't particularly like. I'm probably going to redesign it so that it detects a game and captures it automatically rather than having to select the window. We used the hotkey thing as well but there is also a design flaw with that as well, in that it sometimes won't reinitialize the capture until you press the hotkey again (on the same game).

I'm going to fix as many of these flaws as I can think of when I completely rewrite the thing.
