New Screen Capture Source | How to Capture your Screen in Streamlabs Desktop

If you are a live streamer, you know how important it is to capture the right screen. When you are broadcasting to viewers, it’s essential that you do not give away potential personal information. Surprisingly, capturing your screen was not an easy task. There are three different capture sources, and you have to know which one to use based on the situation.

There are many complicated settings, and you have to choose what to capture with confusing dropdown menus. We wanted to improve the overall user experience and make it easier for streamers to capture the right screen.

Today, we are excited to introduce a new source called “Screen Capture.” This new source is a unified screen capture experience, combining three sources into one.

I've been a new supporter and Prime member of Streamlabs (joined in Oct), and honestly, I've been loving the overall experience so far.

I had to look up this video because I was messing around with Streamlabs for 20 minutes just trying to figure out how to stream my game!

Its not working for my Mac, I can see all the windows but it wont let me save the selected window I want to stream :(

How come you didn't bring over the Screenshot Preview feature that was already in OBS? That was very useful.

This is awesome! It’s always tricky when sharing screens. Always gotta be careful.

I don’t see this option at all. Why don’t I have it? I know I’ve downloaded the latest version. Is this not available yet?

The screen capture video comes out at 720p, trying to figure out why, since the display is set to and outputting 1080p... nothing in properties or anywhere, very hard to figure out.

I’ve managed to get the game to show and my sound and mic to come through when I’m sat in the game menu but as soon as i load into my savegame (fs22 and ets2) the game audio and mic audio gets really slow and buggy, suggestions? As i don’t have this problem on OBS studio
