I'm new to OBS. I'm trying to avoid buying a second monitor. My monitor is 1920 x 1080. For my presentations, I want the video output file to only show half my screen (960 x 1080) instead of the whole 1920 x 1080. I am able to do capture and record half the screen which is a power point presentation that is annotated. However, when I view the recorded video afterwards, it shows the whole 1920 x 1080 where the left half is black and right half has my presentation. I only want the video out to show the left side. Is there a way to do that without buying a second monitor?
Question / Help Video record output only half the screen

I set the screen to capture half (the right half - 960 x 1080)...which it did but the other half was black. There is no way to "custom" the output scaled resolution, but only factors that maintain the ratio to my monitor size... I would think this is possible so I just must be missing something rather simple

Also, there is a small guide for you (basic functionality), OBS Studio Help Guide: https://obsproject.com/forum/resour...ware-studio-multiplatform-help-guide-pdf.365/ (there you can find how to use cropping and other stuff).
