Question The new Nvidia App Beta ?

[Rodri12]

Does the new Nvidia App Beta remove the option to record your webcam ?
I can't find that info anywhere.

Hey there,

I think you're right. Having just looked there, I see no option to record the webcam. From desktop, yes. From Webcam, no, not as far as I can see.

Now, it is in beta, but the new version is coming out in a matter of days. Check back then to see if the option returns.

Figured, thx for confirming this, have a nice day!

Hey there,

Quick update for you. Whilst tricking around with the app, I discovered that on the home screen, you can choose to download Nvidia Broadcast, kinda like an add-on. So, you just install it on top of the app. It then gives you the options t choose webcam etc.

Let me know how that goes.

Hey man! So I had Broadcast before installing the beta, uninstalled it and installed it again using the app, still no option to record it? Did you actually manage to record the webcam?

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

So, I don't really use it, but it seems very straight forward. Simply select the Webcam in the options available, and it should work.

Yeah it doesn't work like that, Broadcast worked as intended with GForce Experience but not with the new Nvidia Beta App, in Experience you just started recording, and if you wanted to use your webcam you selected it in the overlay and it worked with the functions provided by Broadcast, not with the new Nvidia App, sure Broadcast works and you can open the app but if you have any sort of application on top of it your webcam stays within broadcast, it does not record it, which makes sense as you are not selecting to record your webcam in the new overlay, because the option does not exist.

How have you established that? Not that I want to broadcast, but when I open Broadcast up from with the Nvidia App, it gives me the option to select camera and away you go.

Opening Nvidia Broadcast with or without the Nvidia App is irrelevant, what matters is the Overlay, there is no Overlay option to select broadcast as a webcam source, Broadcast acts as a webcam source not as a broadcasting tool per se, the Overlay needs to have an option to where you can select Broadcast as the source of your webcam, which does not exist at this time, if you manage to record your gameplay with a webcam using the new Nvidia App ''''Overlay''''' please do tell, using broadcast really is kind of irrelevant the point here is there is no Overlay option to add your webcam, with or without Broadcast.

EDIT: Previously in GeForce Experience you could just select your webcam it didn't have to be Broadcast, I use Broadcast because it has settings like removing the background without using a greenscreen but again, broadcast is irrelevant to this conversation overall, the point here is there is no ''Overlay'' option to select a webcam.

Well, hopefuly it's sorted for you in a newer update.

Good luck!
