I followed instructions on how to set up a stream, but now I have a black screen and the sound still plays. It's my first time streaming and I am using a laptop.I tried Windowed mode, desktop capture, game capture, they are all black screen. My resolution for OBS is at 1.50 (818x512). I disabled Aero.
I am trying to stream League of Legends and I have it Windowed, not full screen. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Laptops with multiple GPUs are not supported due to numerous issues with switchable graphics. Play around forcing the game / OBS onto various GPUs until you find something that works.

It's usually somewhere in your driver settings. I wish I could be more precise, but different things seem to work for different people. You're just going to have to fiddle with things, unfortunately =/

Alright, people are saying to fiddle with the Nvidia control panel or AMD control panel, but I only have Intel graphics, what do I do?

You have no sources added to your scene. Right click the Sources window to add one. Global sources are different...they are active in all scenes, but you still have to add them to a scene to get the to show up anywhere.

Also, why are you using MP3 audio? AAC does a better job for less bandwidth.

Wow, thanks it works now, first time using OBS I guess I didn't follow the instructions properly.
Also it was a guide on reddit that told me to use MP3.
