Hello, we are to do a talk show. Two of my friends + me are gonna do it via skype.

The problem is that its hard to set screensize in Windowcapture with skype to display my two friends webcams.

The other one is, even if i add those two to OBS, when i invite another one to the confereance, there "video window" moves to another position. Then i need again to fix the position. And since we are about to do a liveshow where we gonna call people and so, it will not simply work.

Also, when minimizing the Skype window, the Video of my friends freezes. So i always need to remember to not press minimize. Is is not any function like "Xsplits Skype Video Capture"?

No, there is nothing like Xsplit's Skype Video Capture. I'm pretty sure Skype's capture API is deprecated anyway, unless they changed something.

I tested adding skype as Game Capture. Seems to work when i scale it and such. But i can't open 2 instances of skype in gamecapture, it need to be one or the other.

Problem is that i always need to remember not to press minimize button, otherwise it will freeze my friends cams.
So the program needs to run in window mode when using the Window Capture. So with that, if im using window capture on skype, i always need to open programs on top of skype to not make it freeze on stream. But is there any way to fix that?

Anyone that has figured out how to be able to show skype conversation in OBS? Xsplit is utilizing it pretty good, however i want OBS to do it.

Is it really that difficult to remember to not minimize the Skype window?

Anyway, there is no direct Skype integration with OBS since that functionality has been deprecated in Skype itself.
