Question / Help Preview and recordings black

Laptop? Black screen when capturing? Read here first.

Depending on your Windows version and what sources you wish to use, you may need to set OBS to run on a specific GPU. Not sure which Windows version you have? Press Windows+R and run "winver". For Windows 10 1909 or newer: Open Settings and search for "Graphics Settings". Select "Classic App"...

To clarify:

To capture the desktop on a laptop with two GPUs, you need to be running on the integrated GPU. R1CH's post above shows how to make that change. This part of the logfile shows why your capture is failing:

OBS above is running on your GeForce card. Desktop capture can't work on your machine in this mode. It needs to be running on the Intel GPU.
