Question / Help OBS on Second monitor?

[HelloHydra]

Hey guys, I got a second monitor today and I tried streaming but all of my window captures didn't work. They worked fine yesterday, but all I can see is a blank screen with my logo and webcam. I have no idea what the problem could be. Any help is appreciated!

wich scene did u added ? gamecapture or window ? possible with games u have to open the game first and actually be in the game before it comes on obs.

Before I got my second monitor, I would play games and capture them with window capture just fine. As soon as I got the second monitor, the window captures would just be black screens.

Are both monitors plugged into your GPU's display ports, or is one plugged into the motherboard? When you had just the one monitor, which was it plugged into?

First, laptop or desktop? If it's a laptop, plugging in the second monitor may be making the GPU 'intelligently' switch over, which will break everything until you force everything over too.
Desktop, are both monitors plugged into one video card, or did you plug one into a motherboard video port (if so equipped)? The latter case isn't going to work. The former, well. Likewise, if you're using a USB monitor or USB monitor adapter, it likewise isn't going to work.

Please do post a complete logfile from a streaming attempt, it'll tell us a lot more about your setup and allow us to give advice and glean other information to suggest things. There's a stickied thread at the top of the forum, and when you open a new thread in here there's a reason it asks you to post a logfile if you're having an issue.
