Question / Help Fedora 28 problems recording the whole window

[duvanm]

Hi guys, I installed OBS and I was able to record few videos. However, I'm not able to capture the whole screen, only applications. And that is an issue because I want to record the whole screen and everything that happens there. I want to record a tutorial with sublime text, but when I run the code and the GUI window pops up, it won't appear in my video, only sublime text. I've done a lot of research and I cannot find a proper solution for this. Do you have any idea of what's happening?

Thank you very much in advance!

Can you check if you are running Xorg org Wayland on your session?

E.g.

fzwoch@debian:~$ loginctl
SESSION  UID USER       SEAT  TTY 
      2 1000 fzwoch     seat0 tty2
     c1  115 Debian-gdm seat0 tty1

2 sessions listed.
fzwoch@debian:~$ loginctl show-session 2 -p Type
Type=x11

If it says "Wayland" the regular X capture won't work. Window capture probably work when the applications run on the XWayland fallback mode.

You can try this plugin and try if it works for you:
