Has anyone figured out a way to remove the player nametag/healthbar as well? I have taken some really nice screenshots that are ruined by the playerā€™s name tag and healthbar. Iā€™m looking for something like this:

Image without Nametag and Healthbar

I have looked completely everywhere, I tried key combinations and search HotS reddit for the last 4 - 5 years of threads related to Replays.

I found none, you should give alternative replay UIs a try as those are free to download around the web and may have something you are looking for.

Wow that was an extremely quick reply. Could you please give an example of another alternative replay UI?

Another thread that deserves to be pinned really :smiley: You so helpfull Sami

Yes, agreed. But I am still not sure what you mean by replay UI:s. According to this page HOTS-replays are simply re-simulations of the games (using the key inputs from the players). Meaning : They are not video files that can be played with any other software?

I unfortunaetly never really got into this stuff at all, however this looks promising I suppose.

Last changelog was during Qhiraā€™s release.

Thereā€™s an installation page on the side bar.

According to the Hotkey section found in that replay interface

Note: I do not know what will happen exactly, but I hope its what you are looking for. I never used replay interfaces for the past 2 years and this interface looks quite familiar to the one my friend used it once, probably seen it too on KhaldorTV I think.

Thereā€™s no game capture anymore. Does anyone use MacBook? I tried to use this on Mac but it is so complicated!

What about Display Capture? :thinking:

I tried. Till now still canā€™t get right resolution, sounds and always laggingā€¦

How the heck did I miss this?!

Are you using ā€¦I forget the mode is called but, it invovles having two screens open at the same time. The preview and live screen. I think itā€™s called studio mode. I have no idea if the bug is still present or optimized to be able to use this mode without lagging.
At the time, there was no solution to this problem. 1 year ago.

Throw me your Mac specs and which year it was made in.

Hello thank for your guide, very useful.

I have a question, why while I 'm in game my recording shortcut doesnā€™t work??

Is there some setting in OBS or Hots that must be changed?
Do you use Window Mode in Hots when you record replays??

I tried many different keys like F9- F4 and the lateral mouse buttons, but any seem to work while I am in game, I need to Alt+tab, start the recording and then back to game every timeā€¦! :man_facepalming: and in every clip you must cut the beginnin and the end in postā€¦

How can I fix this? thank you

I am definitely sure HotS doesnā€™t eat key inputs when it comes to OBS, F9 can be changed to any hotkey you desire even if its NOT part of the F list.

As far as I know, nothing really.

Fullscreen for pretty much everything I play, HotS or not.

The only thing that comes into my mind is maybe try running the OBS as administrator?

Right click on the shortcut, click properties and do the following:

As always Sami, your guides are super usefull.
Didnā€™t even know this one existed.
Knew all about OBS but never thought about turning of UI during replays.
also the hotkeys come in handy from time to time.
Just like your syntax guide which is ALWAYS usefull when roaming the forums!
Keep it up matey!

15-Inch 2016 MacPro, Radeon Pro 455 2GB graphics.

The problem seems like even I have my Hots game setting at 1650x1050, the OBS canvas goes 3300x2100 when I resize output to source size and I canā€™t find a way to scale down.
