Full Screen Capture

I am a Flight Sim pilot and using OBS to capture game play from 2 monitors. I am posting these videos to my YouTube Channel but they are not displaying full screen. Are there some output settings I'm missing. Below is the link to my YouTube Channel

Heya. Can you please post a logfile from a recording session at least 30 seconds in length? It will include your settings and capture setup information so we can have a peek at what's going on, on the back end.

I've played the video back on a portrait-mode monitor and it doesn't appear to be hard-columnboxed; I'm not sure that YouTube can fullscreen across two monitors normally, if you're trying to play the video back there and have two 16:9 monitors stacked vertically.

Most simmers I know will Window Capture their avionics/telemetry readouts separately, and overlay them into the main 16:9 view in 'dead areas'... usually the top-left of the screen over the air vent, and/or the bottom-right mostly covering the dashboard. Can make it a little hard to read, but there are ways to improve that.

Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately, YouTube (and almost all video players) cannot fullscreen a video across multiple monitors. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do.

Generally what most simmers do is take their gauges/avionics displays, crop them down, and find places to put them on top of the primary screen "picture in picture" style, keeping the overall recorded video to a 16:9 aspect ratio canvas.
