Hey, guys...

- I'm having a issue, whenever I use Monitor Capture and click on 'Preview Stream' or record it will just come up with a black screen. Is there a fix to this? Also, I'm not using a Laptop.

- Just for anyone curious, the reason why I want to use Monitor Capture is so I can create tutorials.
- Also here's some of the information for my PC.
- Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-Bit
- CPU: Intel Core i7
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M & Intel HD Graphics 4600

Thanks

P.S Here's the log...

You can't use monitor capture when OBS is running on the Nvidia. You will need to set it to run on the intel.
Also, your system is basically a laptop, since it uses hardware found in laptops and also uses the same switchable graphics system.
 
I think I didn't explain this or mention it. My PC is a All-in-one MSI Gaming PC, so it's probably kinda like a Laptop, because all the keyboards and stuff are not built-in. Also when I look in video, it's only one option which is the Nvidia one. Is there a way to enable the Intel one?
