Question / Help All the videos I record are just black

[Sieb Claessen]

I just downloaded OBS Studio and everytime I want to record a game it's just black. The sound is fine. It's like this in the picture below. Could someone please help me?

So you're checking by alt+tabbing out of your game causing it to be minimized and no longer rendering?

 

[Sieb Claessen]

No because when I record the whole video is just black with the sound of the game.

Post your OBS logs.

Set OBS to run on your nvidia graphics adapter in the nvidia control panel.
