Question / Help Newbie With Black Display Screen Using OBS For FB Live

[ProsperousHeart]

Hello all! Been using OBS a looong time and love what I've been able to do!

I recently compared the requirements for facebook live streaming with what was on my OBS settings because I was having issues of video lag ...

But since then I can't do display captures so I can't share my screen! :(

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'm sure everyone is very busy ... How long is appropriate to wait?

For window captures and game captures (while obs studio will use integrated video card, in your case "Intel(R) HD Graphics 530") it is possible to enable compatibility mode (slow, but it should work fine). Unfortunately, the option itself has different names across the obs sources while internally is the same thing, and any attempts to bring them to the same base failed (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/1241).

...In the future, something should be put in to the program that detects
laptops and warns on how to set up their adapter for efficient capture...

The mentioned "future" isn't come yet...

Laptops has its own disadvantages for capture tasks in comparison to Desktops. If you were able to use the obs long time ago, it is because of recent changes in the code of obs (https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/commit/c7a2a674bcd0007ca1cbd27c50edce2867e483fe) and this changes wouldn't be reverted any time soon.

Thank you so much! I believe it didn't happen after the most recent update, but when I changed my settings. But I'm not sure what I did wrong. :(

I'll check that wiki - thank you again. ^_^

This was EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you so very much.
