Question / Help No video + can't use shortcuts...

I just downloaded OBS studio an hour ago to capture video for an MMO. I set up the source as "game capture", and video renderer as "openGL". It's not capturing video at all, only capturing sound. The preview window is just a black screen. In fact it's not capturing video for ANY source, including desktop. Also, shortcut keys aren't working. I set F11 as start record and F12 as stop record, neither does anything at all. I gotta manually click "start/stop record" for it to even record.

  • Windows 10
  • Laptop with Nvidia Optimus. Yes I've set OBS to use the Nvidia GPU in Nvidia control panel

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong...? I googled but didn't find much helpful info. Most people said setting OBS to use Nvidia GPU will fix it, well it didn't. There are no log files, log folder empty.

Do not use OpenGL. Select Direct3D 11. Better performance
Select GPU for OBS here

Use "compatibility mode enabled"

I know there is a post for laptops with dual graphics on how to solve this problem, but I can´t find it right now.


EDIT: I think this is the post
