I am having difficulty on how to capture a game screen only.As an example I have 2 screens and want to capture Project cars 2 which does not run in window mode.I can capture the desktop but it also captures everything on the screen.How do isolate the game capture only like in OBS.

Hi,
I know it's an old topic, but I've always some trouble with vmix trying to capture a game running on the same pc.
I've this problem with multiple games ( not all, but several including DCS and Star Citizen )
I try to use the WindowsGraphicsCapture method as well as the other, but nothing changes, I can only see the desktop, also trying using capture the whole screen method, when alt-tab on games, I continue to see only the desktop underneath.

My system is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 ( Build 1809 ), with an RTX2080Ti and latest studio driver

I just posted this question, did you find a solution yet? I just got vmix and like a lot of things about it over OBS, but this was something that I so far cant find. OBS has a few options for this like a game capture that you can select a game.

I play older games and when I do, I dont feel like setting up my second PC. I just use 1 monitor. One game I play, only does full screen as well. When I go back to watch, it only shows the desktop itself and not the game. You can hear the game being played but not see it.

Please note, capturing game play from the same computer is not advised since both vMix and the Game application will compete for valuable resources on the GPU (kind of like trying to play two different games at the same time) which means performance will be impacted.
Also note, not all applications (games or others) will capture as "expected" or wanted and why there are several different desktop capture methods to choose from in the dropdown menu of set-up window when adding into vMix.
This Knowledge Base article explains some of that:
