Hello, when I try to create a scene to stream within only my Internet Chrome Browser (selecting "windows capture" option) OBS does show in the screen ALL my desktop, including OBS Interface itself!
Selecting "Window capture" and chosing "Chrome" from the options I get the same result as "Display capture": OBS shows whatever is active in my desktop, instead of just showing the Chrome browser Screen. I need to stream only the Chrome Browser, with no OBS Interface inside...
"Window Capture" and "Display Capture" have the same effect! That is wrong, OBS should not do that!!

I have Windows 7 Home Edition a 3 years old ATI Radeon Video card. I have tried many versions of OBS, including the new update version.
Thanks

Thanks! So this is a huge bug! With "Aero" theme OBS works perfectly! If I choose a "old time graphic" setting the "window select" feature of OBS doesn't work at all!

It's not a bug. Window capture depends on the Aero feature. Aero is always on in newer versions of Windows.

Update to Windows 10 to save you from many hassles, because Windows 7 is getting really old. The update is still free.
