Question / Help Browser not working.

[Ivan Ovodov]

Good day.

When i am streaming from browser, OBS shows only main page of the website i am streaming from. No matter what i am doing at the website, OBS showing the main page.

Does that apply to doing a live stream, or does the Interact command also fail in the preview window?

 

[Ivan Ovodov]

I was not live, just tried to tune OBS before strting to stream.

Okay. So you add your source, input the URL, and save the source.

When you right-click the source and choose "Interact" it should open a window so you can use that source to browse. Does it not open that separate window, or is it that the changes you make in that window are not reflected in the Preview window?

Window opens in a separate window, but shows only main page and even does not show that i am logged in.

I think you're just running into a limitation of the browser plugin. You can click on things but I am not sure you can successfully perform text entry needed for login forms. If you need to do that you might be better off with Window capture.

For games that's less than optimal because the performance is not as good as syphon or display capture, but if you're just browsing a website it should be fine.

The browser plugin is usually for other things, like streamlabs alerts and things of that nature. For a fully interactive session with a full-featured website, try doing a window capture on your browser.

I tried to do so, but OBS does not allow me to choose Chrome browser (see screenshot).

Don't know what to tell you. No problem selecting windows from Google Chrome here using OBS 19.0.3 on MacOS 10.11.6 and Google Chrome 59.0.3071.115.

I will try to reinstall Chrome and OBS. Can you, plaease, show your browser options like on my screenshot?

I doubt there is anything relevant in the browser settings.
