Question / Help Black Screen When Alt-tabbed

[Rune]

Hello, as the topic name says I have some problems while streaming, everytime I alt tab the stream becomes black, it turns completely normal when I tab back in, I am playing in Fullscreen with only 1 monitor (not sure if this is the cause), but I am wondering if there is anything I can do to fix it, I used to stream a couple of weeks ago and back then the game just froze when I alt tabbed out until I tabbed back in, and then it would all become normal again.

Any fixes for the black screen, or is adding another source while I tab out the only solution?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Fullscreen games stop rendering when alt-tabbed, so it might be black or frozen when you alt-tab, hard to say which one it will do at any given time. The way to avoid it entirely is to play in Windowed or Borderless mode instead of fullscreen.
