I'm trying to use OBS to record my monitor, but I'm having problems to record it: it shows a black screen. I tried to follow lots of tutorials from youtube and even the wiki from the official website, but nothing works. I also tried to change the nvidia configuration but nothing happened. Anyone had this same issue? Could anyone tell my what to do? If this information is relevant, I have a GTX 860M (a laptop).

What exactly are you trying to record? just your desktop? that isn't going to work with switchable graphics. the only thing you can record is windowed or game capture. this will work with setting OBS in the nVidia control panel.

also, 1080@30fps might be a bit high even for an i7 laptop.



If you are only recording your desktop and not windows/game capture then you can remove OBS from the nVidia control panel and in OBS's video tab in setttings, change the adapter to the intel which should show desktop with monitor capture. Its either one or the other, so if you want to record full screen apps or games, you'll need to do what I said at the top.

My "Remove" button on the panel are deactivated, how can I do it remove it?
 
It's not more necessary. I don't know why but the OBS now records the monitor with my GTX card. Thanks for helping me.
