Hi, hoping to get some help with this issue.
I just got a new drawing tablet with a screen, its the XP Pen 16.5 inch. I would like to stream off of it but when I go to add a display capture in OBS the only option showing is my usual monitor. However windows is showing it as a second display.
I'm running OBS 25.0.8 and Windows 10.
If more info is needed just let me know.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks is advance!

Most commonly this occurs when not all displays are connected to the same GPU. Make sure that they are ALL plugged into your graphics card, NOT your motherboard's video connector (which would use the iGPU for that display instead). OBS cannot capture displays that are connected to a GPU other than the one it is running on.

Okay thank you for the info, I think you're right, that is the problem.
