Question / Help Black screen.

ewilson979 · Apr 18, 2013

I'm not the smartest person when it comes to these things. Not quite sure what to do. Whenever i try a preview stream or start stream all i have is a black box. I'm not sure if I did something wrong when i was setting it up or something. Help would be appreciated.

You can try to run OBS as administrator.

Or open up your game first and then start OBS.
I always need to do that with GW2.

nvm found my mistake

i will use this thread aswell, since i think i have the problem. i used to stream via xsplit and though i give obs a try but it just streams a black box. i tried game capture, software capture and image and it just shows a black box (with sound).

You can try to run OBS as administrator.

Or open up your game first and then start OBS.
I always need to do that with GW2.

tried that and it doesnt seem to work still. when i go to global sources it even shows my game is selected so idk whats wrong

dodgepong · Apr 19, 2013

You have to actually have a source added to the scene. Right click the Sources window and say Add.

geeisawesome · Apr 19, 2013

I posted about this earlier, no one seemed to give me a real answer.

dodgepong · Apr 20, 2013

Well, in this user's case, he has not added any sources to his scene. Nothing will show up if no sources are added to your scene.

i added a source but its not showing up under my sources like it does with scenes.

You're adding a global source. Adding a global source does not add it to your scene. A global source just means that OBS keeps it loaded in memory no matter what scene you are showing. Usually you don't want sources to be global sources.

Delete your global sources, and just add sources to your scene by right-clicking the Sources box and say Add.
