Capture specific window #39

Hi, as a twitch streamer, I would love to have twitch chat attached to my hand to quickly read what people are saying. As of now, the app can only capture desktop. Would it be possible to implement a feature, where for example, inside watch widget, I click on +, PC shows a screenshare portal, and I can choose app window to capture, then below that app, I get a cog icon to open settings for this, and inside those settings, I can choose docking method of the overlay(attached to head, to left/right controller).

hi, you can do this using the mirror feature, available on the settings panel.

the attaching to hand part is not something you can easily do right now, but what you can do instead is place the overlay somewhere out of your way (eg behind you or above your head) and then make it stay there by locking it in place.

the logic for having stuff on your hand is there, but the logic to do the attaching is missing.
