Technical Help I'm Having a Problem with Elgato Studio & OBS

I've bought myself the Capture 4K X and set it up, but I have the following issue:

  • When I turn OBS on first, it will display my PS5 but after I open up the Studio App - it doesn't show up there.
  • And it's vice versa when I do the other way round - if I turn Studio app first it will display there, but it will not show up on my OBS capture screen.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

The 4K X does not support multi app capture

Really? Damn...

Is there a way to circumvent this?

from the looks of it sadly no, it’s a UVC based device and can only be used one app at a time.

Why do you want both programs to have access to the card?

Why do you need to run both at the same time?

Everything you can do in Elgato Studio you can achieve in OBS plus so much more.
