Hi! :)
MC is a bit of a weird one. It usually open in windowed mode, so you might have to go into the game capture, choose "specific window" and choose javaw/mc in the drop down.
If you happen to be running on a laptop or all-in-one system, you most likely will need to run thru this:

It can be a bit tricky, so please drop by the discord server if you need help getting it sorted.

Hi! I am also having this issue exactly. Things I have tried that have not fixed the problem:
Common things I have considered:
The only things that work:
- Restarting PC
- Uninstall/reinstall (versions 24, 25, & 26; hard uninstall; temp files deleted)
- Game capture (all kinds)
- Run as Administrator
Common things I have considered:
- Layer is visible
- Layer is on top
- Minecraft is open and the active window
The only things that work:
- Display capture (this is not sufficient because my FPS is impractical to play on)
- Windowed capture (very fiddly, and very low FPS that mean the game is unplayable.)

If you're on a laptop, this is a required step to get it working:

Running as admin may be required. Optifine can sometimes cause issues, so if at all possible, try testing without it (or other shaders/graphics mods) first.
If you're still strugling, please upload your log.

my laptop has a 1709 system so i cant access the graphic settings. How else am i supposed to do this?
I have exact same issue and I have tried the wiki article
alright gentlemen, i have just encountered this same issue, and indeed am using a laptop.. i am trying to record the blood n bones mod for the 1.7.10 build, optifine included, ran thru the technic launcher. now the guide that @Flaeri posted did indeed work with getting OBS to recognize the window, and be able to see it in windowed and fullscreen... but now it crashes upon loading into a world. could this be one of those optifine issues flaeri mentioned? but after taking javaw.exe off of high performance mode, it functions as it should, but alas, no capture. any suggstions or wisdom any of you could offer would be appreciated. running a rtx 2060, up to date graphics drivers and se binarys or whatever.

Oh, I ran into a similar situation. I had a similar problem because of an unusual screen resolution. I bought this screen in Taiwan and it is very wide. It's the same height as a normal monitor, but it's twice as wide. And Minecraft doesn't support this resolution.
