Logitech Capture 2.0 Limitations

Description		Explanation
Win+Mac When upgrading from Capture 1.x to Capture 2.x, saved settings will be lost.		Capture 1.x Settings Profiles cannot be transferred to Capture 2.x and will be lost as these are not compatible. NOTE: Capture 2.x settings can now be backed up and restored online.
Win+Mac The app is designed for viewing on resolutions 720p and up.		The minimum window size in the design is currently 1250x618 which is just under 720p. If you use a smaller monitor resolution (ex. 1024x768) the app might not look right.
Mac No virtual camera		Virtual Camera is not supported on macOS at this time.
Mac Minimized/Hidden windows will not be selectable as Window Sources.		In Windows, minimized windows are still visible in the window list; they simply won’t be able to render anything in the mixer if these windows are minimized. In Mac, there are many special windows that might be hidden for various reasons. Even fullscreen (maximized) windows are considered hidden — the macOS API does not distinguish between various kinds of “hidden” windows. In this regard, we hide all hidden windows from the list.
Windows UWP apps cannot be captured exclusively.		On Windows, UWP apps are displayed in Capture as [APPLICATIONFRAMEHOST]. It is not possible to do exclusive window capture here, so the application falls back to screen region capture. If there is anything in front of the UWP app, it will also get captured. If the UWP app is minimized, the region of the screen behind it gets captured.
Windows Chromium-based apps cannot be captured exclusively.		Chromium-based apps will not be captured exclusively. Examples of Chromium-based apps are Slack, Discord, Google Chrome
Win+Mac  Cannot uninstall files from users not currently logged in.		This is a similar limitation with Windows. Any local files from other users on Mac cannot be cleaned up by the uninstaller.
Windows Hotkeys will stop working if the user is currently focused on an app with elevated privilege.		When the user is focused on apps like XSplit (which run as admin), it is not possible for the hotkeys to propagate to non-admin apps like Capture.
Mac Caps Lock cannot be used in hotkeys.		Caps Lock is a special button and cannot be supported to date.
Win+Mac Online backups are OS-specific.		Can’t save the settings on macOS and use the same settings on Windows.
Windows Skype doesn’t accept a virtual camera.		You can use Logitech Capture as a camera source in Skype classic https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/. However, this feature is not compatible with other versions of Skype.
Mac When Capture is using a Logitech camera, it may not work well if other apps start using the same camera.		Capture’s video feed may freeze or slow down if another application accesses the same camera as Capture in a different resolution/frame rate.
Windows Cannot do a backup if you have too many profiles.		You can back up a maximum of six profiles.
Mac Camera settings in the app may not work properly when LGS is running.		LGS is using some methodology to access the camera that prevents other software from doing the same. LGS is not going to be updated, so we recommend consumers to switch to Logitech G Hub.
