Suggestion: "Don't Record" Option for Sources

[JasonVP]

Is there a way to add a "Don't Record" option to individual sources? The common thing streamers DON'T want to record is their webcam. Another might be alerts that come in from sources like StreamElements, et al. Could this be considered?

Thanks!

Hey all,

I totally agree with this! I am a YouTuber and streamer at the same time. At this point I have to use the old version of OBS and run 2 instances at the same time. One is doing gamecapture to record and the other instance of OBS is monitor capturing for the twitch stream, both with different scenes.

It would be really awesome if we can record different scenes or settings then we can show on the stream. I record let's plays and I find it kinda annoying if my webcam, donation goals, sub goals, twitch chat overlay, latest follower and donator are in the video of a let's play series.

Thanks!

Unfortunately this is a lot harder to accomplish than it initially sounds. I discussed it more here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/request-local-recording-without-overlays.67069/#post-293033
