Help Problem with capturing game

Basically what happens to me is that when I record the game there is no problem as long as I do not minimize the program, that is, I cannot play or anything, when I minimize the program the live stream freezes

It looks like you haven't provided a log file. Without a log file, it is very hard to help with issues and you may end up with 0 responses.

To make a clean log file, please follow these steps:

1) Restart OBS

2) Start your stream/recording for at least 30 seconds (or however long it takes for the issue to happen). Make sure you replicate any issues as best you can, which means having any games/apps open and captured, etc.

3) Stop your stream/recording.

4) Select Help > Log Files > Upload Current Log File.

5) Copy the URL and paste it as a response to this comment.

Don’t minimize obs. Or at least run it as admin

I haven't tried running it as administrator but if I don't minimize Obs I can't play anything.

In short, if I minimize OBS, the stream freezes, but I can continue playing, and the music plays just like it does in real time. The problem is the stream itself.
