Bug Report Installing Duet Causes OBS To Have a Completely White Screen

[Lock]

Hello! I installed the Duet application in hopes of using my phone as a second screen, but it appears that when I install it, the OBS screen turns white!

And here's my log:

It only returns to its regular form when I uninstall Duet. Is there an outcome where this can be fixed?

I've talked with MacOS users who also had problems with Duet. I'm going to guess here, since Duet is cross-platform, that they use OpenGL for rendering, which on Windows means that display isn't accessible to OBS, which by default on Windows is restricted to using D3D for the last couple of years:

22:38:59.356: Initializing D3D11...

You can optionally enable OpenGL but performance is bad.

I might be able to suggest an alternate workflow if I knew what you intended to do on the 2nd screen.

What I wished to do on my second screen was watch videos from an online class as I had multiple instances of Microsoft Visual Studio running as I edit their code, since our professor wants us to talk about how we develop a networking application. It would be a lot less crowded with my phone acting as a screen for a few screens of VS.

Thank you for trying to help :D

My issue is a little different. Being both camera operator and "producer", I was hoping to use the ipad screen as a switcher by putting multiview on the ipad. I can get it onto the ipad screen but as soon as I touch one of the view ports the Duet crashes.

If you really need the input capability and not the multiview, look at OBS Websocket.

There are also apps like UpDeck that provide iOS clients that integrate with OBS.

Thanks! I'll have to check it out after I get my camlink issue squared away
