Stream-proof overlay — which capture apps does it actually work with?
Closed thread Editorial exampleThe overlay is advertised as stream-proof, meaning menu and ESP elements don't show up in recordings or on stream. Cool in principle. But "stream-proof" is one of those terms that covers a huge range of implementations and only some of them work in every capture path.
Capture through a card, capture through OBS game capture, capture through display capture, capture through the Windows built-in recorder — these are not equivalent. Some overlay methods get picked up by one and not the other.
Has anyone confirmed which capture methods the exclusion actually holds up against? "It's stream-proof" on its own tells me nothing.

Replies are closedDisplay capture is usually the one that breaks this kind of thing, since it grabs whatever is composited on screen.
Right, which is why I'm asking rather than assuming. A stream-proof claim that only survives game capture is a very different product.
Docs don't name any capture programs either, so the honest answer is probably "test your specific setup."
Figured. Window capture test tonight, display capture after.
