Option to limit screen capture for multi-monitor setup

[Qai]

Really, really loving the app so far. Works like a charm!

One thing that I do find troublesome, though, is that the app automatically changes the active screen captured to whichever monitor the mouse is currently in. I have a 3-montior setup, and moving between monitors sends the current active screen to the app. If I switch between montiors too quickly, then I lose connection since the app can't keep up. All that's needed to trigger the switch on the app is my mouse cursor moving to a different monitor. My desktop is connected via ethernet, so my phone is the only device on wi-fi.

I do like having the ability to be able to capture multiple-monitors easily, but I would also like an option to be able to limit capture to a designated monitor. This way I can either 1) do things in the background on another montor without interrupting the stream, or 2) work as usual on my other two monitors while letting others stream via the third monitor.

I know that technically the idea is to stream the game you are actively playing. But, come on, general desktop streaming is a very useful feature.

I don't think it's a good idea to designate mouse cursor position as the object defining what should be streamed.

Old thread, but I'm having the same problem. I only want my primary display streamed. Any workarounds?

I'm not sure exactly what your trying to do...



I have 2 1080P Monitors being Streamed to a Single Screen 4K TV...

The Picture looks horrendous when squished on the TV Screen,
but once I jump into a Game, certain Games look far better then others, but not in every case...



Rocket League show the Car Squished, but the Arena looks decent,
but then you have the issue where the Game is Wide but also Skinny above & Below...

While a Game of say? Resident Evil 0 Remake, or even Contrast,
these do not really look all that bad on Screen, even USF4 looks great...


To make matters worst, you wanna add even more space in for doing things outside of
the Game, right?

Which would even further Squish the Game Screen a lot more,
making the Game play much more un-enjoyable... o_@




Streaming 3 Monitors instead of 2 I would think would be even more Horrendous
to look at on screen, o_@



How were you able to get a good picture from 3 Monitors to Display on 1 with
your STEAM Links? What Setups did you use?

My computer has 3 monitors. Only the monitor where the cursor is currently located is the monitor that gets streamed to the TV. My TV only ever sees one monitor at any one time, not 3. I want to specify which monitor gets streamed, not have it auto-decided and auto-switched based on mouse cursor position.
