Hey guys, I have an issue here and an wondering if anyone knows how to solve it.

Wanting to stream some cs:go with webcam using my gopro, which works perfectly as a cam. However, because of the fact elgato has around a 1.5s delay, my webcam is that much behind the gameplay. Is there any sort of workaround to this? I obviously cannot delay the window capture in obs, so is it even possible to find a way to delay the screen capture at all so all three inputs are in sync?

Thanks in advance,


Julian

If you have a 2 PC setup where your webcam is plugged in the stream PC and your elgato having around a 1500ms delay, then you would just need to put in a 1500ms buffer on the webcam. or do you have a different setup?

Single PC setup
you are getting no advantage using a capture card with single PC setup. the idea of the cap card is to allow you to offload your game to a second PC.

your best bet is to take the capture card out of the picture and JUST use the build I pointed you to. sell your capture card or get a second PC to use it in.

I think you misunderstand. The gopro is plugged into the elgato so I can use it as a cam.
Yeah, I don't think that there is an option for that. what is your elgato's buffering set to currently, double click the video input device source you made the the gopro.

Did you manage to solve this?
I currently have Elgato HD60 Pro with a GoPro and no lag at all (Single PC - Gaming/Streaming)
