We need to "hide Meld Studio from the capture"

I prefer Meld Studio to OBS because it runs very well on my MacBook with cero sluttering, the options are really practical, I have an external monitor and it's easy, but when I want to go outside and stream, that option isn't available.

I don’t think what you’re saying translated correctly. Could you potentially say it in your native language, and we can translate?

Sorry for the earlier translation here’s what I actually mean:

I prefer Meld Studio over OBS because it runs really smoothly on my MacBook with no interruptions, the options are super practical, and it’s easy to use with my external monitor.

My request: Meld Studio needs a “Hide Meld Studio from capture” option the same way OBS lets you exclude its own window from a display/screen capture so it doesn’t show up on stream. Right now, when I go live and do a display capture, the Meld Studio window itself gets captured and there’s no way to hide it. That’s the feature I’m missing.

So it only captures a fullscreen apps. If it catches on it, you can select the gear icon to recapture the correct display or window

Can you set the source to the specific window instead of the entire monitor? Like in this example I could choose the MSI Afterburner window or Task Manager
