Change your encoder in settings - output to something that isn't nvenc. You don't have any nvidia video card.

ya idk why it is doing that. so i would just go in and change all that to AMD encoders?



wait never mind i just did exactly what you said and it worked. although now whenever i press record it's just a black screen on the thing.

You need to add sources now.
