How to fix OBS black screen - 2 methods

How to fix OBS studio black screen issue. OBS Black Screen Display Capture Solved (2020). OBS can only capture video from one graphics card at a time. Computers that have only one GPU are not affected by the black screen issue. However, on laptops that have both “integrated and high-performance graphics cards”, you may run into an issue where OBS simply displays a black screen when you want to record your desktop. In this video, I’m going to explain two methods to fix this problem. But before you start, make sure your graphics drivers are updated to the most recent version.

If you are not sure which version of windows you have, you can find out by pressing the “Windows and R” keys, then type “winver” and click ok. • So, if your computer has the newer version of windows, • Type “Graphics Settings” in the search bar and click enter. • Make sure the “App Preference” is set to “Classic App” and click browse. • Then go to “Local Disk C”, “Program Files”, “obs-studio”, “bin”, and finally “64bit”. • In this folder you would find the OBS application. • Select it by double-clicking, then click options. • Once selected you would be presented with a new interface with the “Graphics Specifications”. The “Power Saving GPU” is also what’s referred to as your Integrated Graphics. The “High-Performance GPU” is your dedicated graphics card. Your Windows desktop runs exclusively on the Integrated Graphics. But by default, OBS is set to run and capture images on your High-Performance GPU. To make OBS capture your desktop, select the “Power Saving” option, and click “Save”. If that didn’t work for you, then it’s possible that your current Windows OS is older than Version 1909. In that case here is the second method to fix it. • Right-click on your desktop and select “NVIDIA Control Panel”. • Expand the 3D Settings menu, and click “Manage 3D Settings” then “Program Settings”. • Chose OBS studio as the program to customize. • Next, change the preferred graphics processor to “Integrated Graphics”. • Click “Apply” and restart OBS. • That should fix the problem. It’s worth noting that this would enable OBS to only record using “Display Capture”. If you need to use the “Game Capture” setting in OBS, then you must switch back to the “High-Performance GPU” because video games are set to run by default on your dedicated graphics processor. In order for OBS to work properly, it must be running on the same GPU as the image you wish to capture. Thanks for watching. It’s been Nebaa, and I’ll catch you in the next one
