My friend has the exact same settings as me but when I click on preview stream, mine seems to always remain black.

Would love any help on this. Thank you! :D

The Intel GPUs do not play nice with OBS, when they play at all. I think that's your problem, unfortunately.

Hi, what specific sources are you using in your scenes?

When I disable Aero, I can see my preview already but, my inner window doesn't seem to work. When I alt tab from Dota2, I can see everything on my preview.

So you can see it in your preview, but you can't see it on the stream? You'll have to forgive me, I'm just trying to get a grasp on what exactly is going on

No worries. Erm. When aero is disabled, I'm able to stream but I can't alt tab without the stream showing my other windows. I want my stream to only show dota even when I alt tab to view other stuffs. I tried using inner window but nothing happens.

That's part of how Aero works. If it's disabled, you can't capture just a window. It needs to be on for you to have the functionality you want.

Oh I see. But if I have it enabled, my preview would be all black. Any way to fix this?

Thanks for all the help so far guys! (:
