hello, i am trying to stream my games playing world of warcraft. but thou i seem to be able to make it capture my monitor and my camera, i can't seem to be able to make it capture my game. some1 told me to try and alt tab back into the game and it should fix it but it didn't.
i am using a dell leptop, and i've seen a post about leptop's black screen, but it wasn't that helpful since i have a radeon graphics card, going into my Intel Graphic and media control panel i haven't seem to be able to find the right option to fix what they explained, and i couldn't get to do it through obs as well. so, my question is: how do i caputre none black windows of gaming on my leptop. it's a dell inspirion 15 leptop for anyone who asks.
my graphic card, so it seems, is intel graphics 4000 hd

With Radeon based laptops, your only option is to use Window Capture with Compatibility Mode checked, and play your game in borderless windowed mode.

i've got it to work. thank you very much!!!!
but there is around a 30 seconds overlay between what is happening in game to the stream, how can i fix it? is there anyway to make it so the stream will be a bit more live?
checking with a stoper, i've got to see that the overlay is between 52-72 seconds, depends on what is happening on the screan and how much movenet there has been. can anyone help?

Nothing to fix, if you're streaming to Twitch. They have a 20-30 second built in delay, but if varies if you have to buffer a lot, among other factors.
