I'm new to OBS and I may be missing something obvious – or expect too much.
I am trying to use OBS to record a lecture series – recording only, no streaming involved right now.
I would like to capture my desktop and occasionally run a slideshow in addition to the usual opening an closing of applications. For the slideshow I'd like to use OBS Image Slide Show.
When I start recording I need to get rid of the OBS window in the background to have an empty desktop. To accomplish that I switch to another workspace and start recording with a hotkey. I can then work with standalone applications and everything gets recorded nicely. But how do I integrate the Image Slide Show?
After switching to the other workspace the slideshow is not visible there and I have no way to control it. After recording, it appears in the output video but as a static image.
I have tried a lot of combinations but apparently there is no way to accomplish that. Right now I'm using a standalone image viewer (eog) but I'd prefer the slideshow because it has transitions.

I'm using Gnome3 as desktop.
