FAQ

=== Can I feed the VM directly into to OBS ===
Yes provided you're using a bleeding-edge version, [[OBS]] support is brand new. There is a plugin to build in the `obs` directory for this.
'''Note''': This plugin is brand new and is missing mouse cursor support.
=== Why is my UPS (Updates Per Second) so low? ===
You don't need Display Spice enabled. Looking Glass has a Spice client built in to provide some conveniences, but you can disable it with the "-s" argument.
Note that without Spice, you will not be sending mouse/keyboard events to the guestnor will you get clipboard Synchronization support.
=== Where is the host application for Linux? ===
Please be sure to install the SPICE guest tools from https://www.spice-space.org/download.html.
As an added benefit, this will also enable clipboard synchronization if you also add the spice chardev(also known as Spice channel if using libvirt). === How to enable clipboard synchronization via SPICE === Choose only one of the settings below (the one that applies to your configuration): * QEMU
<syntaxhighlight lang=bash>
</syntaxhighlight>
=== The mouse doesn't stay aligned with the host. ===
This is due to windows mouse acceleration, it can be disabled by following one of these methods:* Disabling pointer precision (Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options > Uncheck Enhance pointer precision)* By changing the acceleration behavior with the following registry magic:http://donewmouseaccel.blogspot.com.au/2010/03/markc-windows-7-mouse-acceleration-fix.html (Contrary to the title this works just fine on Windows 10)
Some other things to try:
== Audio ==
Looking Glass does not handle audio at all, nor will it ever. If you're having However an audio problems please look to Qemu solution know as Scream is included in the Additional Guides section with two methods for helpinstallation:* [[Using_Scream_over_LAN | Using Scream over LAN]]* [[Using_Scream_over_IVSHMEM | Using Scream over IVSHMEM]]Of the two '''Scream over LAN''' is objectively better however if complete isolation of the VM from the Host network is necessary '''Scream over IVSHMEM''' will get it done.
== Windows ==
=== The Windows Logon Screen, Shutdown, UAC Dialogs, Ctrl+Alt+Del, LockScreen do not work. ===
These screens are on the "Secure Desktop", Microsoft has intentionally limited access to capture this screen to prevent malware attempting to capture information from these screens that might be sensitive. There is little we can do here unless Microsoft are is willing to let us sign the host application as an 'Accessibility' program.` The workaround for this issue is to turn down the security level in the `User Account Control Settings` dialog as shown here: [[Image:Uac.png]]
Users of NVIDIA cards that support the NVidia Capture API (Quadro, Tesla, etc) will find this limitation only applies to the Windows Logon Screen and Shutdown Screens, the NvFBC capture API is able to capture the "Secure Desktop" outside of Microsoft's control.
As of Windows Vista, Microsoft deprecated the ability for services to interact with the user's desktop, and as of Windows 10 this is enforced. There is nothing we can do about this.
Please see [[Installation#Using_the_Windows_Host_Application|Using the Windows Host Application]] for how to setup a scheduled task to launch the application at login.
=== NvFBC (NVIDIA Capture API) doesn't work ===
