Question / Help Laptop black screen (I've read the sticky) still need help

Intrepid419 · Aug 2, 2016

Hello everyone,

I have read the sticky and have tried setting my encoder to all three of the options provided incase my monitor is using either my NVidia or the intel chip when displaying the internet browsers/desktop. Regardless I always get a black screen and am confused what is going on.

Also, whenever I set the capture to the monitor instead of the custom resolution, when I go back into settings it has the custom selected every time! Most frustrating!

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for taking the time in advance. I've tried searching the forum for more beyond the sticky but admit to being a terrible researcher and could not find anything.

The settings go back? Sounds like a permissions issue. Try running the OBS shortcut as administrator.

Intrepid419 · Aug 3, 2016

will try that...

Intrepid419 · Aug 3, 2016

nope, still resets itself

Boildown · Aug 3, 2016

Yeah I have no idea then. Here's a guess: Try copying the entire OBS folder to a new folder where you have full permissions, and creating a new shortcut to the executable with "-portable" on the Target line. Target line on the shortcut would read:

"C:\Intrepid419OBSTest\OBS\OBS.exe" -portable

See if it works then.

10:41:37: Using Monitor Capture

Jim said:
If for some reason you need to Monitor/Display capture, you need to set OBS to run on the Intel GPU, as that's where the monitor display is rendered.

If you want to capture something running on the NVIDIA GPU (e.g. a game) you need to use window or game capture.
