Can I use macro keys to change resolution?

andybeech

Hi I am not sure if posted it in the correct place. Is it possible to change the screen resolution from let's say 2k down to 1080p and then another one to change it back again. 

Main reason is I have a LG ultra wide and when I stream its better in 1080p

Thanks

I don't think so but why don't you just do that with in-game settings?

You can use actions.

Select actions 

Select record 

Do your process of switching res as normal.

Stop record

Set the button that you want to use for the action. 

Then tune the action setting if needed

It's not a hardware lv macro. It just records and reproduces your actions with a single button. However you can tighten the timings in-between to get it near instant
