How to Set Up Wuwa Tappo in OBS Studio with Transparent Background (Streamer Guide)
Streamers use Wuwa Tappo as a reactive keyboard/mouse cam while playing Wuthering Waves or chatting. If Window Capture shows a solid black rectangle behind Tappo, enabling Allow Transparency or Chroma Key solves it in 30 seconds.
- Best OBS Source Type: Game Capture (with 'Allow Transparency' checked) or Window Capture + Chroma Key.
- Recommended FPS Limit: 60 FPS in companion settings to prevent OBS encoder overload.
- Keystroke Privacy: Shows cute paw animations without exposing exact passwords on stream.

Step-by-Step Solution & Walkthrough
1. Method A: Native Alpha Transparency via OBS Game Capture
In OBS Studio, click '+' under Sources -> select 'Game Capture' -> set Mode to 'Capture specific window' -> select '[WuwaTappo.exe]: Wuwa Tappo'. Check the box labeled 'Allow Transparency'. The black background disappears immediately.
2. Method B: Chroma Key Color Mode (For Window Capture)
If your OBS Game Capture is already busy hooking Wuthering Waves, switch Wuwa Tappo's background setting from Transparent to 'Streamer Green (#00FF00)'. Add a 'Window Capture' source in OBS, right-click it -> Filters -> add 'Chroma Key' (Green).
3. Prevent Tappo from Freezing When Unfocused
Ensure Windows Graphics Settings does not throttle background apps, and enable 'Always on Top' in Wuwa Tappo's right-click menu so Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) keeps rendering frames for OBS.
