Turn off the yellow screen border Windows 11 uses to warn of screen capture.

I have the exact same issue. its not so much a problem with my eyes being sensitive to the color itself its more so just annoying to see it always there when streaming or capturing for editing later. I have a twitch chat app called Ghost Chat that I keep on my main display while streaming so I don't have to constantly look at another display to see the chat itself and it creates a floating transparent window I can turn on and off anytime I want. but when capturing whatever it is I'm playing or doing on my PC the chat window has a yellow border around it. I understand MS wanting to make sure there are security measures in place but there should be options to change the way it LOOKS at least. maybe have a registry editor option that lets us manually pick the hex-code color or even a transparency slider for it. its not too much to ask for this and it seems like they don't care because they'd rather be lazy and have a single solution to all problems related to this subject rather than giving us the option to choose how we use this feature. its a major problem to those who want to turn their streaming time into a career when these small things all add up to larger problems down the line.

and to those saying "well just go to this other website to find help" or "use this option here to fix the problem" you don't think we've already gone everywhere else? If you're capturing a single window, not the display itself, the OBS capture methods change. you can't select DXGI for window capture or in my case Game Capture. its not a choice I have. And I like capturing the game rather than the display because A: audio isn't captured properly through the display capture option, B: if i have other software running in the background, a browser, a media controller, something i'd need to alt tab to every so often I don't want the stream to see everything. they aren't there to see that stuff they're there to see whatever game I'm playing.

Remove OBS Yellow Border

Hello Dave,

Thank you for your research, I tried too.

Not very good Microsoft programming standards - no option for sensitive eyes.

No disability option at all. (I thought they were trying for disability friendly in 2023).

Having the ability to change the colour (dark red) - rather than eyeball retina melting bright yellow, it still lets me know the screen is being captured.

(I've noticed there still isn't a dark them mode for this forum either)

Very disappointed in MS.

Hopefully, some bright spark will program a shade border to sit over the yellow border.

The solution for me: restart your pc.

Hello Dave,

Thank you for your help with this.

The link provided is the first one I tried (didn't work).

I've also visited OBS Studio forum with ref the above,

"The yellow border is not something OBS introduced. It’s a Windows 10 feature that was implemented for security reasons."

Hence me popping on to the Windows Forum to pick those lovely big brains of yours.

The border is so bright, my next step is to use gaffer tape to tape around my monitor.
