# Can't screen share Adobe Lightroom

Some applications don't like being screen captured by Chrome; there are some options however

**Disable Hardware Acceleration:**

* Sometimes, hardware acceleration in either Chrome or Lightroom can cause issues. Try disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome by going to `chrome://settings` > Advanced > System > uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available". Also, check if there's an option to disable hardware acceleration in Lightroom

**Try a Different Browser:**

* Test if the issue persists with other browsers like Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. This can help determine if the problem is specific to Chrome.

**Use Windowed Mode:**

* If Lightroom is in full-screen mode, try switching to windowed mode. Some applications don't share their display properly when in full-screen.

**Use Display Capture in Chrome instead of Window Capture**

* While this option may reveal more of your desktop than desired, if using a secondary screen to host the Lightroom application, it may still be a suitable solution.

**Use OBS and it's Virtual Camera:**

* You can use OBS to capture Lightroom, and from there output it to VDO.Ninja via the OBS Virtual Camera. You would select the virtual camera in VDO.Ninjas a camera source, instead of a screen share source. OBS has more advanced screen capture options than Chrome does.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.vdo.ninja/common-errors-and-known-issues/cant-screen-share-adobe-lightroom.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
