=== 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.
'''Update''': As of commit 4f40ce4b40dbf98b3cacd1baaf66fc11f8633c0c, full cursor support is now available and is slated for Beta 3.
=== Why is my UPS (Updates Per Second) so low? ===
There are several reasons why this can happen, the most common is your capture resolution. At the time of this writing, the windows capture methods struggle to capture high resolutions under certain circumstances, as a general rule of thumb anything greater then than 1200p (1920x1200) starts to suffer from performance issues.
Another cause can be how the game or application you are running is configured. Because of the way windows integrate with the WDM (Windows Desktop Manager) running applications in "Full Screen" mode may in some cases cause a large performance penalty. Try switching to windowed full-screen mode, the difference in performance can be like night and day. Titles known to be affected by this are Fallout76, The BattleField Series and SCUM.
=== The mouse is jumpy, slow, laggy when using SPICE ===
Please be sure to install the SPICE guest tools from https://www.spice-space.org/download.html#windows-binaries.
Choose only one of the settings below (the one that applies to your configuration):
=== The Windows Logon Screen, Shutdown, UAC Dialogs, Ctrl+Alt+Del, LockScreen do not work. ===

'''Note:''' This information is deprecated as of 2020-08-12, the host now has a helper service to launch it at login with elevated privileges. As of 2021-01-16, even the login screen can be captured.
<div class='mw-collapsible-content'>
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 is willing to let us sign the host application as an 'Accessibility' program.`
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.

=== The Windows host program doesn't work as a service ===
<div class='toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed'>
'''Note:''' This information is deprecated as of 2020-08-12, the host now has a helper service to launch it at login with elevated privileges.
<div class='mw-collapsible-content'>
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.
