Question / Help Having OBS stream a window that is below another window.

[IAmDemi]

Hi, I've just recently switched to OBS from Xsplit when I started speedrunning Dishonored and Amnesia instead of just running Zelda Majora's Mask and Zelda: TWW. Now, I just recently finished practicing & learning the route for both Dishonored and Amnesia, and thought it was time to submit a time to SRL finally. Anyway... in speedrunning for those that don't know, an application called WSplit is used to time your run.

When I did my first practicerun for time using WSplit, it all worked neatly. I added Dishonored into OBS as Game Capture, and I then added WSplit into OBS as Window Capture. I was able to stream the game(Dishonored) in fullscreen and keep Wsplit appear "above" the game's fullscreen window on the stream(Can elaborate further if asked). Somehow, this disappeared, Im not quite sure if I did something to make it disappear or not, I tried uninstalling & reinstalling OBS to revert to the default settings, but sadly my settings are saved.

Even so, is there anyone that can help me out here?

Thanks~~

Make sure Aero is enabled and your game is running in borderless windowed mode

Thank you so much, enabling Aero fixed it. Although it seems a lot of games can be streamed in fullscreen and not just borderless window when it comes to OBS :)
