# Start Capturing (Avatar)

1. Click on **Capture** in the left tab to open up the capture page.
2. In the game drop-down, **select your LIV-eligible game**.
3. In **Target Resolution**, select the resolution at which you want LIV to render the avatar camera.
4. Click on **Sync & Launch** to sync the game to our compositor and launch it!
5. Your Avatar feed will show up in the **LIV Output** window\*\*.\*\* This is the window that you want to be capturing with your broadcasting/recording software.

If you are using OBS, make sure you capture the LIV output with Game Capture for the best performance. Check out our other [performance tips here](/liv-steam-app-on-pcvr/guides/general-liv-steam-app/improve-performance).

If you are using an Oculus Rift, Oculus Rift S, or an Oculus Quest + Link combo, you will need to ensure that the game you're trying to capture is running in OpenVR for it to function with LIV. For 99% of cases, all you need to do is add\
"-vrmode openvr" to the game's launch options on Steam, as shown in the video below.

If you find that a game that should be supported is broken, please let us know on [<u>Discord</u>](https://discord.gg/liv)!

<Tip>
  Its best to use this launch order to ensure everything will work correctly 

  SteamVR -> LIV -> Launch game from LIV using Sync & Launch
