black screen

So i was messing around with different ways to capture my webcam to record separately and i think it may have done something to obs. Could also just have randomly broken its just sorta odd cuz obs was running fine the last time i tried it. I poked around for different troubleshooting guides and...

I just updated OBS and now my game captures and display captures are going black. I've removed and re-added them. I've ensured my laptop is 64 bit. I've ensured Nvidia Geforce was not competing with it. I've restarted both OBS and my laptop. my last option is to uninstall the program and...

It seems to be whenever I alt tab when I stream or if I go into a game and come out it will just be black the display capture and game capture will go black and wont display anything until I restart OBS and it does it again. Its hard to explain but I can't get around it. I have tried looking up...

I use a Ryzen 7 1700 and a GTX 1070 ti. Having a Ryzen 7 means that I do not have integrated graphics, only dedicated graphics (GTX 1070 ti) Game capture (capture specific window) works on the default Notepad application for windows 10, but nothing else works. Display capture works and the audio...

I've been looking at making some dev streams using OBS, but I haven't been having much luck. I tried on my laptop which is an Acer Aspire with a builtin GEFORCE 940M, and on my desktop which is a TS140 with a GTX 1060. Both computers run Linux Mint 19.0, have up to date Nvidia drivers (390 in...

Hey folks! I've had excellent results with Minecraft versions 1.12.2, 1.13, 1.13.1, and 1.13.2. However, all snapshots, pre-releases and now official release versions of 1.14 are black-screening using Xcomposite window capture. I've created a new Scene Collection with only the Minecraft window...

I've used OBS before and it worked just fine in the past. Now after I updated OBS, Game Capture just shows a black screen no matter what I set it to display. I've ran it as admin and I've tried to do the Nvidia GPU fix but didn't give me an option to change that. So now I am just lost...

So, I've been trying to get this working for a while, and I keep just getting a black screen. It used to be a little red dot, but I saw online to transform it to fit the screen, so I did, and now I've just got a big black screen. I'm being told audio is still going through, just not video. I'm...

I tried to record Beat Saber for the first time today and noticed that I get black screen on the recording when I'm playing a song. Sound is fine and so is video during menus.

Recently, I tried to record some Minecraft gameplay, only to see that OBS wasn't capturing the game whatsoever. I tried reinstalling OBS, removing and adding the game back as a source, and even tried looking up common reasons why it might happen. All to no prevail. Nvidia Shadowplay is able to...

My capture device just shows a black screen, but when I switch back to another device (camera or device not plugged in) then switch back it starts working. It's almost like it's not initializing correctly or something. Is there a setting somewhere I can force some kind of hard initialization...
