I don't think that works, because the OS stops rendering windows that are minimized. You *can*, however, leave it up and have something else over the top of it. That still works.

That's why there's a difference between the Window Capture and the Screen/Display Capture:
  • Screen/Display is effectively a hardware capture of the physical signal, but without the added hardware. It doesn't care about windows; only what's actually visible on the screen at any given moment.
  • Window stays with whatever window you connect it to, even if it's covered by something else. Just don't minimize it, because the picture stops existing at all then, and so there's nothing to grab.
