Question / Help Windows or display capture not working

[NathanLights]

Hi
Looking for some assistance with my OBS setup
I have 2 scenes. 1 with just a camera capture card (Elgato HD60 S) & Scalet usb (for audio)
Second one has the same with the addition of an display capture of the Laptops second screen. However I can't figure out how to capture said display. Also doesn't work when i try and do a windows capture of the same program i have on this fullscreen

Thanks Nathan

Post a logfile of a live streaming or recording session at least 30 seconds in length.
To use Display Capture on a laptop, you may have to set OBS to run on your Integrated GPU. This will disable Game and Window captures entirely, and Display Capture should be avoided at all costs for a lot of reasons. If you still want/need to, here's instructions on how to set your GPU assignment on Win10 1903 and later:

Laptop GPU Selection Windows 10

OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording - obsproject/obs-studio

obsproject.com

With an external monitor (assuming it's HDMI or DisplayPort, USB externals are a different beast entirely) you may have to swap back and forth between high-perf and power-save, restarting OBS between each assignment to see which one works for display cap... it tends to be non-standardized which GPU handles external monitors on different laptops.
Unfortunately this is one of the several down sides to using a laptop for livestreaming.
