Can OnlyFans tell your screen recording?
OnlyFans cannot tell that you’re screen recording. So, the creator will not know that you screen-recorded their content. However, downloading any content from OnlyFans is not permitted according to their terms of service. Breaking this policy may lead to your account being suspended or terminated.
Now, we will expand upon this.
OnlyFans cannot tell you are screen recording because it is a web-based platform. This includes screen recording on a PC, Mac, iPhone, and Android devices.
This is different from other social media platforms, like Snapchat because if you screenshot or screen record on Snapchat, then the creator will be notified.
But, this is because Snapchat is an app that has an API that can detect this.
Because OnlyFans is just a website and not an app, it can’t tell that you are screen recording.
Does OnlyFans allow screen recording?
According to OnlyFans’ terms of service, they do not allow screen recording.
In the terms of service, it says: “Do not reproduce, print, distribute, attempt to download, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store, or transmit any Content, except as permitted under the Terms of Service.”
Although OnlyFans doesn’t specifically mention that screen recording is not allowed, it could be argued that downloading is the same thing.
This is because when you screen record content on OnlyFans, it will end up on your personal computer or device, which is very similar to downloading content to your computer, or device.
However, as we mentioned earlier, OnlyFans can’t actually tell if you screen record content on the platform, so just because it isn’t allowed, it doesn’t you can’t.
But, we don’t recommend breaking OnlyFans’ terms of service because breaches of the policy may lead to your account being suspended or terminated.
Also, if you are a creator, access to your earnings may be revoked, meaning you won’t be able to withdraw your money.
It may be worth getting in contact with OnlyFans to check if screen recording is considered as downloading.

Once you have installed it, we will guide you through setting it up and screen recording.
Setting up OBS
Firstly, open OBS.
After you have opened it, you need to make sure you have a scene.
Look at the bottom left, and you will see a Scenes section.
In order to make a scene, you need to press on the button with the plus icon.
Then, a window will pop-up and you will be asked to name the scene.
Once you have named the screen, click “Ok” and the scene will be created.
Next, you need to add a source.
So, go to the Sources section. This is to the right of Scenes.
In order to add a new source, you need to tap on the plus button.
You will then get a list of different sources.
We use Display Capture, which will record your entire screen. This option will probably work for you too.
Once you choose a source, you will be asked to name it. Name it anything you would like.
Now, you will need to choose which display you want to use as the source.
If you have multiple monitors, you will have more to choose from. Click on the drop-down menu labeled Display to view your options.
Then, you can press “Ok”.

Click on “Output” on the left-hand side menu.
Then, select “Recording” at the top of OBS to view your recording settings.
Now, you need to find the setting called “Recording Path”.
This is where you set where the recording will be saved to. Make sure it is somewhere you can easily access to view the content you record on OnlyFans.
Also, you can customize the Video settings as well if you want to change the frame rate and resolution of the video.
Make sure you save the settings by clicking “Apply” in the bottom right, and then “Ok” to close them.
