Question / Help OBS Window Capture does not work on UWP C# application

[jedimaster365]

Hello everyone.

I believe this can easily be repeated to see my point.

Installing Visual Studio Community 2019 and creating an app (using UWP and C#) is easy enough. However, run the app and when the window appears, it is impossible for OBS Studio to capture it. Whether run in admin mode or not, 32-bit or 64-bit versions, all come up with a black screen where the application window is supposed to show.

Does anybody know how to work around this issue?

Best regards,

Faadil

P.S: XSplit does capture the window so I know it's possible.

The only known workaround currently is to use display capture and crop to the desired window area. It's also possible for most directx-based games to use game capture, but regular uwp apps are not this category.
