  • @YamiFoxx
    @YamiFoxx Před 3 lety +6

    The on top application seems amazing, I need to try it! Another tip if I may add is to run a game in borderless window, alt tab out but see if you can move around with a controller by looking on the preview of obs, some games don't need to be the most front layer to allow input meaning you can just play and see your game from obs 😁

    • @westonsm
      @westonsm  Před 3 lety +12

      Thank you! Glad it was helpful. If you’re streaming a game using the Game Capture source they will not. If you want your viewers to see everything that is on your screen, you can always stream a display capture although if you’re playing games the results aren’t as good. Does that answer your question?
