Question / Help Hiding Desktop/Alt+Tab Issues.

[Binkz72]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way for OBS to only capture your current video game window, so when you ult+tab your viewers can not see your desktop. I tried borderless mode but it seems there is a bug on OS X Yosemite where borderless functions just act as if full screen and it just minimizes your game. The whole reason I want to be able to ult+tab is so I can click onto my other monitor, without my viewers seeing it or closing current game window. I have googled for hours trying to find a solution, please help thank you.

Best regards,

It sounds like you are using Display Capture. If you use Window Capture instead you shouldn't have this issue.

If you use window capture though, you'll be stuck with that white bar at the top that you have to crop off. I use syphon to capture just about everything, and I recommend everyone to try it. When capturing with syphon, you can have your game on one monitor and OBS on another. Even if another window is on top of what you are capturing, it will only capture the window you have selected.

I just fullscreen the game. I haven't gotten the hang of syphon yet.
