It's just supposed to work, right? no video
This is a windows 11 24H2 problem but I am hoping someone who reads this knows how to fix this. I have a usb video capture device that shows up in device manager as a camera as AV to USB2.0. Shows up as working with a working driver. I install the lastest OBS from the zip file. I configure Video Capture Device and Audio Capture device. I start a camcorder connected to the AV to USB2.0 and click on "Start Recording". Nothing show up in the video, top portion of the window. But I do record the audio. When I click stop recording, I get an mp4 which has no video but it does have the audio. I checked all the proper switches in settings > privacy to allow the "camera". It show up. However, for the allowed apps, OBS is not listed, no recent activity. I do not see a way to manually add OBS to the allowed apps, hence the title of my thread. I am able to capture video and audio using this setup on a twelve year old windows 10 computer running OBS so I know that all the hardware works on that computer. Not sure what other details of my windows 11 computer matter.

You can try to run OBS application as administrator (right-click menu over the "obs64.exe" file ) and see if it changes something.

If issue persist:

Please post a log with your issue! Here's how...

OBS Studio creates a log file each time you run it which contains very useful diagnostic information. Without a log file, it's much harder for any support volunteers to figure out problems and your post may be ignored. To upload a log file, go to the Help menu > Log Files > Upload Last Log...

No solution found in windows forums but other people have had the same problem as me. I also have one of those mini desktop ten watt computers that came with windows 11 pro and I installed obs studio on it and hooked up my capture device and it worked right off the bat. Somehow, my "Windows 11 Home Single Language" computer does not want to work with the video capture card. I have spent way too many hours trying different suggestions and none of them worked. The path of least resistance is to upgrade to windows 11 pro. Adios.

Likely, you need to disable Global Audio Devices in OBS (see here: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/hi8-tape-to-laptop-out-of-sync.183529/post-671341 ), so OBS wouldn't try to use your capture card when you need it in other places. Then open properties for the "Video Capture Device" source and set manually "Resolution/FPS Type" to "Custom", "Resolution" to "640x480" and so on. Make sure that OBS application is whitelisted in your security software.
