Screenshot issue on dual screen - VLC

Solved

Hello,

Sorry if the solution has already been mentioned, but I couldn't find it on the forum or online...

I have two screens (one of which is a drawing tablet), and I used VLC to capture video of my drawings (only on the tablet, of course) and it worked fine.

I just bought a new Alienware computer running Windows 10. The issue with my video screen captures is that VLC (or another software, for that matter) captures both screens at the same time!

How can I capture just one screen while keeping the other one accessible?

Thanks

    Hello,

    Try using the keyboard keys Windows + P
    Then select → PC screen only

    After that, select → Duplicate

    See you +

      Hi Pistouri,

      Indeed, now it only captures one screen! =)

      The problem is that I would like to keep the second one independent to display my references (or video) while I draw and record on the tablet :/

      You would need an HDMI Splitter box to avoid duplicating your screen.
      Don't hesitate to ask the question on the Forum, my knowledge in this area is limited.
      I will mark the discussion as resolved.
      Have a good end of the day.
