How can I check whether OBS captures an overlay?

Guide Q&A

Record a short local test with the exact OBS scene and capture mode you plan to use, then review the playback for any overlay elements.

The guide recommends testing game capture and display capture separately, since capture methods and multi-monitor setups can behave differently.

Do not rely on the preview alone; review a saved recording from the same scene you intend to stream.

Saved the guide link. The portal steps are clearer than random Discord paste.

Small thing: I keep one ranked preset and one deathmatch preset, easier to A/B.

Appreciate answers that stay on Valorant instead of generic copy-paste.
