obs-vkcapture is a Vulkan layer and OBS Studio plugin that enables capturing of Vulkan-rendered content in real time, solving a long-standing limitation in game recording and streaming. It works by injecting a Vulkan layer into applications, intercepting rendering calls, and redirecting frame data to OBS Studio without requiring special in-game support. This is particularly useful for modern Vulkan-based games or tools that lack native screen capture hooks. It’s lightweight, efficient, and actively maintained by the community.
