Removing black bars around edges of Wii U video in Elgato Game Capture HD

The following article is for a product that is now considered Legacy (EOL) status. Because of this, the information below may not match what is possible with current Elgato hardware and software.

The Wii U has Screen Size (Overscan) settings. They determine if there are black bars on the sides of your video, or not.

If your Wii U recordings have black bars around the edges, you can increase the Screen Size until they go away.

You can find out more about how to change the Screen Size here:
