Question / Help How to use automatically switch between display capture and game capture?

[nfun45]

I recently discovered that using display capture on full screen applications will cause frame rate stutter to the stream, whereas using game capture will run smoothly without frame rate stutter. I do wish to continue to stream my desktop (which is why I was using display capture to begin with); however, in a situation where I switch between desktop and full screen applications constantly, I do not want to make a constant manual change between scenes with one having display capture and the other having game capture. Having both capture sources in one scene will also cause frame rate stutter. Thanks!

You can't automatically switch. The computer cannot read your mind. There is an auto-scene swap for games that use separate launchers and in-game executables (like League of Legends) where Window cap is needed for one, and Game is needed for another, but that only applies for out-of-game versus in-game, and not alt-tabbing or such.

If you are on Windows 7, DO NOT USE MONITOR CAPTURE. It's horribad and slow thanks to Microsoft.
Use a Game Capture of the DWM process, with Aero enabled instead. It will only cap your main monitor, but it actually works well. This is not needed on Win8 or higher.

Otherwise, set up hotkeys to swap between scenes at-need when changing between in-game and showing your desktop.
