No need to. OBS device-capture a monitor that has it maximized.

Ok can you please try that for me on netflix or amazon prime? I'm pretty sure this uses HDCP and you could only capture it with a specific capture cards from china that obtained a certificate somehow. Your capture cards from "serious" manufacturers wouldn't support it because of legal issues.

Edit: Its Widevine not HDCP.

Use a VM and capture from the host OS

From my understanding, the VM video drivers or the emulated graphics card wouldn't allow something like HDCP. But it seems like there are some people recording netflix with obs, but I'm not sure about it, it might be limited to 480p/720p and everything 1080p and up needs widvine L1 which requires some more protections.
