Question / Help How to stream without showing desktop clutter?

[woodyfly]

How do I get a stream set up without showing my desktop but have every window visible as well? Are they using a background image or is it a dual monitor setup?

Clear your desktop!

Either they have a clear desktop in the first place (which I recommend doing generally anyway as it can affect the performance of your machine) or they have a multi-screen set up with the streaming screen with a desktop clear as you alluded to already.

Also assuming you are using windows you can hide and show desktop icons at will. Right click on the desktop, goto view and there is an option to show / hide desktop icons. So you can turn them off when you are streaming and reveal them again when you want.
