Record the screen with the mouse pointer in it

[dushkin]

Hi guys,

Is there a possibility to make sure that OBS always records the screen when the mouse pointer is within it?
So, when I move the mouse from one screen to another, OBS will record the "active" screen.

Thank you!

You can try Tools->Automatic Scene Switcher. With this, you can create Window title <=> scene pairs, so whenever you switch to a window with a matching title, the corresponding scene is made active.
However, directly switching display capture sources isn't possible with this. The scene switcher needs a window title and a scene.

Any new plugins..like the old Simple Scene Switcher 0.6 that you can define each monitor X-Y cooridinates and have the scene switch to that monitor to capture everything not just window titles? Any way to configure the new Advanced scene swither with a macro to do the same thing? There must be a way instead of installing an OLD version of OBS..I find it crazy that there is little demand for this simple action..ANY reply is most appreciated..

You can use a macro with the cursor condition to achieve this:

Hope that helps!
