Question / Help way to delay window capture video?

[EpicReset]

Hey guys I have a unique setup for streaming... instead of using the webcam, I use skype. We have to since my co-host games in a different state.

Is there a way to delay the window capture 2000milliseconds so that I can match it with my game capture screen?

What do you mean exactly ? if you're using game capture to directly capture a game you don't want other sources to especially fall behind.

I'm trying to lag a skype conference call to match the 2sec lag of the game footage and mic input.

speaking skype though... the window capture feed freezes if I'm capturing a PC game using the game/application capture. I guess because the window is in the background. any workaround?

If you're on windows 7 enable aero and restart obs. As for the delay your co-host can also stream his camera to match the game footage delay and you can capture it the same way.

checking aero in video settings just overlays whatever is on top of my skype window onto the stream, so when I capture a pc game or appliction, once I fullscreen, the supposed reaction cam is mirroring a portion of the application on top that is running. Also I did not see skype having delay settings for their stream. :(

Well you're supposed to do the opposite, uncheck that tab from settings>video then close obs and go pick a transparent theme from windows and then your window capture wouldn't have that problem.
Why is your "game footage and mic input." lagging 2 seconds behind the skype call ? are you capturing the game from a stream ?

the setting was originally unchecked and my reaction webcam froze everytime I ran the application TERA... maybe something with the app itself?

as for the 2 sec lag... i predominantly play console games... captured with the ELgato. it has a 2 sec lag between live and capture. Flawless pass through, but lag on capture/stream.

Add the webcam (reaction cam) as a global source instead, also instead of using skype you can tell your co-host to stream his/her cam and capture that with the browser plugin http://obsproject.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3284
