To prevent cheat overlays from appearing on your stream, configure your streaming software to capture only the game window, not your full desktop.

Quick Steps:

1. Open your streaming software (OBS Studio, Streamlabs OBS, etc.).Select Game Capture:
   • Choose “Game Capture” mode.
   • Select the specific game you want to stream.
2. Test your stream: Preview it to ensure overlays are hidden.

Important Notes:

• Avoid using Display Capture, as it shows your entire screen including overlays.
• Some games (e.g., Dead by Daylight) may have features that aren’t fully stream-proof.

Streaming Directly to Discord with OBS Virtual Camera

You can stream your game to Discord while keeping overlays hidden using OBS Virtual Camera.

Quick Steps:

1. Enable OBS Virtual Camera:
   • Set up your scene in OBS (game capture, webcam, etc.).
   • Click Start Virtual Camera in the Controls panel.Set OBS Virtual Camera in Discord:
   • Open Discord → Settings → Voice & Video.
   • Select OBS Virtual Camera as your camera.
2. Go Live: Join a call or start a stream — Discord will display your OBS output instead of your webcam.

Important Notes:

• OBS Virtual Camera only sends video, not audio. To include sound, use a virtual audio cable (e.g., VB-Audio Cable) and select it as your input device in Discord.
• On Windows, Virtual Camera is built directly into OBS — no extra installation is required.
