Question / Help Issues duo streaming

Hello! I have been using obs for quite some time.
Recently my girlfriend has gotten into gaming. Therefore I have 2 webcams that way we can both be viewed.
But I have come across the problem that I want both of our screens to be streamed from my one computer.
So I went and bought the Roxio game capture card, although for me to view her screen, I must start a capture and then *window capture* that screen for it to be streamed. And the problem with this is unless I have the Roxio window full screen on my computer, the game capture window is very bad resolution. And I am unable to have it full screen because then it completely takes up one of my monitors.

What im trying to ask is using a game capture card the right tool? am I maybe using the wrong type of capture card for what im trying to do? I am trying to capture computer #2 screen so that I can stream it from computer #1 And I obviously want this to be a livestream NOT a recorded video. For the time being ive been using *teamviewer* or *mikogo* to stream her screen but obviously its very low quality and framerate which sucks.

Im not sure if this helps but the streamer *swifty* has been duo streaming for quite some time and id love to have that same setup.

A capture card is the right tool, but the roxio one is not.

Ideally, you'd want one like the BlackMagic Intensity.

Only not the BMIP, as it's old, finicky and fragile compared to most cap cards available today. (And the BMIP 4K has its own laundry list of problems)

Look at an Avermedia C985 for simplicity's sake, or an Elgato HD60 Pro.

Okay thank you guys very much, I didn't want to just keep buying different ones until I found something that worked for me.
I will definitely look into those.
