If you run multiple instances of an application, you should use these options and look at the window title to make sure you are selecting the right game application to record. Window Match Priority has three options: Window Title Must Match, Match Title Otherwise Find Window of Same Type, and Match Title Otherwise Find Window of Same Executable. Like the Game Capture Source, the Window Match Priority option is to help OBS decide which application it should capture based on the title and application. If you are running a legacy application or an older operating system the drop-down list offers BitBlt for Windows 7 OS and up, and Windows Graphics Capture for Windows 10 build 1903 and up. By default, the Capture Method is set to Automatic. The Capture Method option will determine how the applications are captured and displayed as determined by your Operating System. When selected Window Capture will resize itself to the application’s dimensions and be displayed in the preview window. The window option shows a drop-down list of all the active applications that are currently running. This is a great capture source for applications such as PowerPoint to display presentations or create tutorial videos or showing the creation process drawing sketches. While Game Capture is designed specifically for capturing video games, Window Capture is designed for capturing and displaying more common applications such as your web browser, video editor, photoshop, or word processor. Window Capture is another capture source that is dedicated towards capturing any applications that run on your computer.
