What are you using to record tho? I think OBS could help you because you can modify the size of the canvas/screen (so that the excess space is not recorded)

I am using paid xsplit. I have tried custom resolutions. I know I can go windowed and set record area perfectly but want to avoid that nonsense.

Ohhh, okok. Well, hope you fix the screen thing for the next one my man.
