Stream in windowed mode and play it in full screen?

I wanted to know if I could play in windowed mode and display it on Twitch in fullscreen mode, there was a game when I streamed it in fullscreen, so I would like to stream in windowed mode because then it works… Is there a way to do it?

As a program I use btw. OBS.

I do not understand. You decide whether to play in windowed mode, but the Twitch viewer decides whether to watch the video in the window or in full screen. You have no influence on the latter - or am I missing something?

ma

You can probably also play in full screen at a lower resolution.

I describe it differently: I play a game so that I have a task bar at the bottom and the icon to minimize and close the game at the top, how can I get rid of it without having to play in full screen.

You overlook the possibility of not streaming the entire screen, just the window. I think that's the question.

ma

Nope, I don't overlook, but what's the problem with running it in windowed mode? You don't have to record the entire screen, just the window.

Al

Does your game have the option to play in a windowless full screen?

Of course, this only makes sense if the window has the same resolution as your monitor. This is also a window, but full screen.

Si

Yeah… If that works, could you explain how I set it up at OBS?

Al

I think how to do that is the question.

ma

Instead of "Capture any full screen application" you can select "Capture a specific window".

ma

Aso now yes. Didn't know that is the reason that is stopping him.

ma

There's no windowless. You probably mean borderless.

Si

OMG, I'm so stupid!

Al

Or that.

ma

Oh, I'm stupid sometimes.
