OBS Recording Non-Presenter View PowerPoint

[jackhero]

I would like to record a presentation using MS PowerPoint and it has to be done while the camera is also turned on i.e. both audio and video are recorded together. I have used OBS it is working fine for recording as per requirement. However, I am facing an issue when using the presenter view on PowerPoint. I only have a laptop (no projector, no other monitor screen). What I want is to turn on the Presenter View while presenting whereas I want the OBS to not record the Presenter View screen and only record the slides (non-presenter view) my audio and my video (using the laptop webcam).

I can not figure out how to do it. If I turn on the Presenter View OBS records the Presenter View screen. I request for the solution. Thank you

As far as I know (and what has worked for me), the only way to capture a PPT presentation is using the "Browsed by an individual (window) setting (in Slide Show settings in PPT) and then capturing the window. This effectively eliminates the possibility of using Presenter View (it is greyed out in PPT when the slide show is set up this way).

I would love to have a workaround...I am tired of juggling a mouse, hotkeys, notes and the PPT presentation (I have four monitors available but it is a lot of work when I am live). My goal is to use Presenter View (with my notes) on one monitor (with the PPT presentation output (pictures and video) to OBS), use my camera input with Chroma Key and the presentation as background and just mouse click (or presentation controller click) through my presentation, moving to the side if I need more monitor real estate for the videos and images. I am doing these presentations live in sign language so voice over is not an option and I need to have my notes upfront on the monitor for audience contact.

PPT Presenter View solves a lot of these problems but still isn't compatible with OBS, as far as I can see.

So, after much research, I am now able to use Presenter View. I am using Display Capture and PowerPoint with Presenter View. The reason Display Capture wasn't working before is that my laptops GPU was running OBS. When I reset OBS and PowerPoint to the Intel GPU, now I can capture the output from Presenter View (just capture that monitor) and overlay my camera. I control the whole presentation from my Presenter View screen...so this is an excellent work around!!!!
