SUMMARY

When I add PipeWire-based entire workspace source, start recording, then lock the screen, OBS is able to record me unlocking the computer.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get OBS
2. Add PipeWire source, select entire desktop
3. Press record
4. Lock the screen

OBSERVED RESULT

Recording contains lockscreen activity

EXPECTED RESULT

Recording should interrupt the moment I lock the screen

Can confirm, the PipeWire capture backend should probably show a black screen outside of the session, or at least just the lockscreen without any username/password prompts.
Comment 3 lostfreeman 2024-12-05 18:14:03 UTC 
Is there a mechanism to tell the app that the source is no longer available?
