Question / Help Tablet Capture possible? Add Tablet into OBS as device ?

Hi guys I have a windows 8.1 non RT tablet and would like to know is it possible to add my tablet into OBS when my tablet is connected via USB?

Not likely via USB; normally that's just used for basic data transfer, and isn't a full video link.
You'll need a video out from it, and a capture device.

You might be able to get away with running a VNC server of some sort on the tablet, connecting to it from your PC, and capturing the VNC window in OBS. Be aware that most VNC poses a significant security risk on its own as many solutions do not offer any kind of encryption by default, and the server should only be started when you're actively using it. Also, some hardware configurations cannot capture hardware-accelerated video over a VNC connection, but that's a case-by-case basis, and isn't certain to happen. Try it out and see.

appreciate it man thanks I'll do some reading up on it and try it out. I tried streaming with OBS from the tablet but it's just too much for the tablet to be running an emulator and obs. If there is a way I can use my tablet as a game controller for my emulator on my PC then I wouldn't have to try to do all this. Pretty much what I'm doing is playing PSP games on my tablet and want to show my viewers what I'm doing on my tablet while im streaming on my PC
