Monika recording message (Spoiler-ish?)

[Timeternal]

How do I get Monika to be aware that I'm recording the game? I'm using OBS. Like, I want the message in this video.

You have to be streaming or recording the video in a commonly used recording program, like OBS.

i am recording in OBS. Do I have to start recording at a certain point?

Thinking about it, I think it's only specifically with streaming.

I remember MBH's LP of the game, and while he was recording every second, it didn't trigger Monika's trick.

You have to be streaming, I think.

You have to be streaming, not recording.

Actually, you don't even need to be recording or streaming. You just need to have one of the following executables running in the background before you start the game: obs32.exe, obs64.exe, obs.exe, or xsplit.core.exe.

The funny thing is that the game only checks for the executable's name, which means you can take literally any program, rename it to "obs32.exe", then launch it before you launch the game, and it will trick the game into thinking you're recording, thus triggering Monika's message.

I have actually tested this just now. I copied notepad.exe to my desktop, renamed it to obs32.exe, launched the fake obs32.exe, then launched the game which was at the beginning of "just Monika phase", and it worked!

Bear in mind, that her recording-related dialogue is triggered at the end of her post-poem speech! If you have already shared poems with each other and you've entered the endless dialogue loop, you've missed your chance to see Monika's recording comment!

Will this work with Bandicam or only with OBS and / or XSplit?
