Stream-proof means OBS game capture skips the overlay — not immunity. Radar on a side monitor and minimal boxes beat giant FOV rings on stream.

Stream proof hides overlays from standard OBS game capture. Alternate render targets or kernel layers do the job — until chat watches you track someone through a wall on facecam.

Streamer-friendly layout

Radar on side monitor — callouts without HUD on main capture
Small player boxes, no huge aim FOV circle
Capture exclusion toggles where the build supports it

Still risky

Phone desk cam, pre-fire clips, eye movement matching off-screen info. Stream-safe is not tournament-safe.
