Title: [Feature Request] Window/Application Capture Source (Support for Steam Link / Remote Play)
Description:
I am setting up a dual-PC streaming workflow using an M4 Mac Mini as the dedicated streaming machine. Instead of using a hardware capture card, I am using Steam Link (or Moonlight) to stream gameplay from my Windows PC to the Mac desktop.
To make Arkavo Creator a viable all-in-one broadcasting solution for this setup, I request the ability to use a specific Application Window as a video source.
The Need
Currently, I understand the app may support camera inputs, but for a software-based dual-PC setup, I need to select the running Steam Link application window (or any specific window) to serve as the background layer behind the avatar.
Proposed Functionality
- Window Selector: Add a "Screen Capture" or "Window Capture" option in the media source settings.
- Specific App Target: Allow selecting the specific window (e.g., "Steam Link") rather than just the full desktop, to avoid capturing UI elements or notifications from the Mac itself.
- High Framerate Support: Ensure the window capture can sustain 60fps, as this will carry the primary gameplay feed.
Use Case Context
- Streaming PC: Mac Mini M4.
- Gaming PC: Windows (sending video via local network).
- Workflow:
- Open Steam Link app on macOS.
- Open Arkavo Creator.
- Select Steam Link window as the "Background" or "Game Feed" source.
- Overlay Avatar (using existing ARKit tracking).
- Broadcast directly from Arkavo.
Why this is important
This feature would allow Arkavo to support Dual-PC streaming without requiring users to purchase expensive hardware capture cards (Elgato/AverMedia), making the platform significantly more accessible for users migrating from OBS + VTube Studio setups.
