Question / Help Issue with mulitiple windows inside each other

[mercreaper]

So as the title says when I stream it shows my monitor capture inside the same monitor over and over progressivly smaller like your looking down a hallway with thirty doors getting smaller and smaller in the distance. How Do I turn this off so only the one screen monitor that I have set up to capture is captured instead of it repeating itself over and over again?

Well, if you only have one monitor, and you're capturing what's in your monitor, and you bring up OBS to show what's being captured on that monitor, it's going to show you what's on the monitor, which includes itself, capturing what's on the monitor, which includes itself, capturing what's on the monitor, which includes itself, capturing what's on the monitor, which includes itself, capturing what's on the monitor, which includes itself, capturing what's on the monitor...

TL;DR This is expected behavior. What else would you expect it to do? I don't even think this is possible to *not* do.

I understand that but it should only do it once, not 75 times and when I stream it also shows the same thing even when i dont have OBS pulled up. Thats the issue, I feel a little offended that you would immediately think that Im incompetent and dont understand that when you pull up the same window your streaming from it would show the same thing inside of itself. As I stated its doing it more then once DURING streaming not when just previewing the screen or when trying to edit scenes or anything like that.

Sorry, I don't mean to come across that way :(

But what you're asking isn't possible, and I don't think it should be possible. That's just how monitor capture works.

Can you show an example.
