Can't screen capture certain games

Some games may need settings tweaked to be captured properly with the browser

If you're struggling to capture a game with VDO.Ninja using the browser, a list of options are below.

• Disable Fullscreen Optimizations: Right-click the game's .exe file, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations"

  • Sometimes you want to even uncheck "Disable fullscreen optimizations", so try both ways

  • Restart the game after applying changes.

• Run as Administrator: Try running both the game and your capture software as administrator.

• Compatibility Mode: Run the game in compatibility mode for an earlier version of Windows.

• Run the game in windowed or borderless windowed mode

• Consider using OBS Studio to capture the game with, and then output the captured video to VDO.Ninja using the OBS Virtual Camera.

  • Sound can be captured with a virtual audio device in conjunction with the the OBS audio monitoring output option.

• If using hybrid graphics, such as two graphics cards, try to run the game on the same graphics card as the system / browser.

• Try window capture or full-screen capture, or try with a different browser.

  • If using Window capture, you can capture the game's audio with the use of a virtual audio device, like Voicemeeter.

  • Display capture tends to offer better frame rates than window capture

• Use an HDMI splitter and an HDMI to USB adapter to capture the output sent to your monitor.

• Update your graphics card drivers

• If using a browser such as Opera GX, it may throttle or disable VDO.Ninja when gaming.

  • The Electron Capture application, or a different browser, are better choices
