I use livesplit I want to use a timer that can show up on top of Minecraft fullscreen. Also how do streamers do it, I want to be able to record my gameplay and timer at the same time. Is there anyway to do this? must i get a new timer or is it possible with livesplit?
go to livesplit settings (or was it layout settings) and make it always on top use obs studio to record. in it use window capture on livesplit and gamecapture on minecraft.
dang i have a crappy computor and obs makes my game slow it there other programs that do similar?
No, there's not really a better screen recorder I can think of that is more lightweight than OBS and allows you to customize a layout. There's other options like XSplit, but its more resource intensive and obviously won't work good if your laptop is already struggling. Some people use Bandicam, but you need to pay for that unless you use the free version which limits you to 10 minute recordings and has a watermark.
Have you tried lowering your quality settings in OBS to recording in something less powerful like 480p? That might help prevent your laptop's resources from being consumed too much?
EDIT: ty @SioN
nvm i tried obs and it actually worked fine, maybe last time i had it on 120 fps or something ty
