I just downloaded OBS Studio on my Dell G3 laptop, and whenever I try to record, it just shows a black screen. I set a my screen as a source, but still, nothing is showing up. I saw another post that sort of explains about how laptops have 2 GPUs or something like that, but it didn't really help because it said what to do, but not how. (or maybe I'm just dumb.) Also, the log file isn't working so I'm just gonna copy-paste it in here.
Edit: So to be clear, the other post basically said the laptop uses 2 GPUs and OBS is running on one while the game is running on another, but they need to be on the same one and idk how to accomplish that
