I just started using Proclaim along with OBS for streaming. In OBS, I added the Proclaim slides as a window capture source. In the source settings, the window name shows up as "[Proclaim.exe]: Proclaim Slides." I have the Window Match Priority set to "Match title, otherwise find window of same type."
When I go on air in Proclaim, the slides show up in OBS fine. If I go off air and then back on air, the slides no longer show up in OBS. When I click on the source settings for the Proclaim slides, I get what you see in the attached picture. The word "Window" next to the dropdown menu is red and "[Proclaim.exe]: Proclaim Slides" at the top of the dropdown menu is grayed out. "[Proclaim.exe]: Proclaim Slides" shows up another time in the menu and it's not grayed out. When I select that, the slides show up again.
Is there a better way to set up the Proclaim slides source so that OBS will always find it?
I'm running the latest version of Proclaim, OBS 27.2.4 (64 bit) on Windows 10.
- We have two capture methods. Try either using screen capture instead of window capture (set it to your main slides screen), or setup a virtual NDI output in proclaim, use the NDI OBS plugin and add add it as an NDI input into OBS.
- What Kyle Ward says is the easiest, Albert Wu, but you will have to download and install the NDI plugin for OBS (https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/obs-ndi-newtek-ndi%E2%84%A2-integration-into-obs-studio.528/). Then you have to configure NDI outputs in Proclaim and go to OBS and add an NDI source. Second easiest is to do Display Capture and choose the display that Proclaim outputs your slides to. If you want to continue with Window Capture, make sure to choose Window Title Must Match from the dropdown.
- Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll try display capture. The slides are projected onto a screen and I want to stream whatever we send to the projector anyway.
