Wanted to start streaming PUBG Mobile using OBS but I got a black screen when I use game capture mode and windows connect.
Is there any way to fix this ?
I tried downgrading to versions 21.0.x,changed compatibility to windows 8,added source in Nvidia control panel and it still doesn't work. The log file

OK, I just tested this myself, and it should work. If it doesn't, you need to do the following:

Windows Store (UWP) games currently require extra permissions to be able to capture. If OBS is installed in the default (C:\Program Files (x86)) directory, these will be applied automatically. If you installed OBS to a custom location, you will need to add the ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES security group to the obs-studio folder. Follow these steps:

- Close OBS if it is already open
- Right click on the obs-studio program folder, select properties, then click on the Security tab.
- Under the Groups or user names section, click on Edit...
- Click add, then type in ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES. Select Check Names and it should underline to show it was typed.
- Click OK, then Apply, then OK, and finally OK again.
- Restart OBS and attempt to capture the game again

I tried this too.
It still shows a blank screen for both window and game capture.
I get window capture but not game capture when I use third party software like apowermirror.
Is it something to do with the software used or something else altogether ?

Hmm, then you might need to run OBS as administrator.

UWP capture for software that aren't games (using the Game Capture source) can be hit and miss, depends on how it renders. Software you download normally (like Apowermirror) usually needs a Window Capture source, which is by design.
