If after adding the display capture your selected display does not fit, you can click and drag the image and its red border to make it fit in the preview. If either of these happen after adding the display capture, it may be because the value that is currently set in File > Settings > Video > Base (Canvas) Resolution is different to the resolution of the display you have chosen. If you have multiple monitors, select the one that the game will be played on from the Display drop down menu. Press ' OK' to confirm. Select ' Display Capture' and click on ' OK' to add the new source. Use the ' + button' on the bottom left of the window to add a new source.
