Question / Help Display capture is not functioning(just a black screen)

[prasadmu]

Hi there I'm new here...

My display capture is not capturing any screen(running 2 monitors), it's just black.

My PC runs an AMD Radeon HD 8670M graphics card. I recently updated the driver to the latest 2017/09 version, it was only after the update when I started experiencing display capture issues, when I roll back the driver to the 2015 version It's A-okay and functions perfectly...

Is this and AMD issue or an OBS issue? and what do I do?

If you want to use display capture on a dual-GPU laptop, OBS needs to be running on Intel GPU.

Thanks so much, managed to get it working.

The AMD document was a bit rough to work through because the AMD control panel has been updated since the doccie date so I had to figure out where the new settings were but obviously an AMD issue.

Thanks once again.
