Hi,
As per the topic, I'm wondering if it's possible to have OBS display a graphic file if the game that it was focused on closes. What we've got is a game running for promo reasons but it's still in development so occasionally crashes. When this happens, OBS displays a black screen since the window it was streaming from has closed.
What we'd like to be able to do is have a graphic displayed automatically if the game closes, i.e. have OBS transfer its focus onto a new window (or ideally open an image file) when the original program window closes.

Does anyone know if this is possible, or is there a workaround that we could use to achieve the same effect?

Thanks!

Put the image source of what you want to display below the game capture source in the list.

Ah, as simple as that? Seems to be doing the job, thanks!! :-) (As you can probably tell, I'm new to OBS!)
