OBS Not Capturing Desktop

captainespinoza · March 28, 2016

I couldn't find a thread that pertained to my issue, so here is a new one. I first tried using OBS studio, and had issues capturing audio, so I uninstalled and attempted to use the classic version. Now with the different version, I can capture game and window footage, but get a black screen when I attempt to capture my monitor. I should also note that capturing games and windows works fine. Thanks in advance!!!

I believe I'd read that you need to run in administrator mode. At least that worked for me while using the studio version.

Starting in administrator mode didn't work. However, shift+right click and selecting iGPU worked, will see if it is possible to record game footage in that manner later. I'll report results here.

Final update: forcing the application to run with iGPU worked. Can capture anything correctly.
