Question / Help OBS Game Capture with Pokerstars

Hello I a little new to streaming so I was hoping that someone here could give me a hand.

I am currently using OBS 18.0.1 64 bit.

I am trying to broadcast myself playing pokerstars with a webcam in the corner and I am having a little trouble with it.

When I go to "game capture" the option to select the table I am playing at is there, but when selected it does not come up on the preview or the stream; no matter what settings I use. I have tried using game capture on other games like Fallout Shelter and it has worked no problem.

However I can broadcast the table when using "window capture" and selecting the table. HOWEVER when I go back to check how it looks on OBS it starts streaming the OBS window inside of itself again and again. It has also streamed me when I was attempting to post links to the stream on my social media accounts.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Using game capture is much easier but I can't seem to figure this out.

Thanks in advance.

If poker stars is a browser game, it won't work with game capture no matter what you do.

Use window capture and enable aero.

Thanks. This must be one of those things that slipped thru the cracks. I did what you said and loaded up facebook and chatted with one of my friends and that screen (facebook) was on the preview rather than the selected pokerstars card table.

Kind of weird.
