Video recording evidence and screenshot ?

[The_ferret_s_t_e_a_m]

Hello,
Until now, I used Bandicam to record games when the dialogues were scrolling too fast for me. I am now discovering your software and I have a question. With bandicam when you record a game in progress, it is possible to display in a corner of the screen the Frame Per Second number, this is green when bandicam is not recording and turns red when it is recording and in yellow when I take a screenshot, which proves that I am in the process of recording or not. So I would like to know if with OBS it is possible to have a display during a game to show me that I am recording or not, because I can't find anything in the settings..
Watch the screenshot below please.
Thank you

OBS doesn't have any ingame overlay. If you didn't deactivate the system tray icon, you can see if OBS is recording on the system tray icon: it has a red dot if OBS is recording. However, for this to see the Windows taskbar must be visible, so you cannot run your game fullscreen. If the game runs fullscreen, there is no way to directly see if OBS is recording on the same monitor. However, you can run OBS on a second monitor to see if it is currently recording.
