Depending on your graphics card, it might be impossible to capture that, outside of some "technical gymnastics".
Probably what's happening, is that the actual content is being offloaded to the GPU to decode and then display in a given space, whether it's a rectangle or the entire screen, overwriting what was already there (often solid black), and the rest of the system really has no idea what actually ends up there. Trying to capture it, gives you what it was supposed to overwrite, because that's what the system actually knows about.
There are several reasons to do that, usually involving performance in some way or another, but it can also be used to make it difficult (or at least non-trivial) to steal copyrighted content. That's a rather poor reason, because a number of GPU's can feed their final result back for the express purpose of capturing like this (performance has no problems being captured), but the mere presence of it can indicate sufficient effort to protect a copyrighted work so that *you* become responsible for stealing it, along with anyone who helps you.
So you're probably not going to get much more help than that. Sorry.

Thanks for your comment. I have the same problem on a PC and Mac. I’m trying to record press conferences on government websites which are not protected. Some have a youtube channel I use as a back up option but not all of them. So it’s nota copyright issue.Depending on your graphics card, it might be impossible to capture that, outside of some "technical gymnastics".

The other thing at play here, is that this is a public forum. Even if *you* really are okay, someone else will read the public instructions for how to violate someone else's copyright, and then we've helped them do that. So the answer is probably not going to be here, for that reason.Thanks for your comment. I have the same problem on a PC and Mac.
