I have a problem I constantly have. I wnet to window capture to stream minecraft and I dont see java anywhere. I went to show windows with empty names and saw java(null). Can someone help me with this?

this is what fixed my problem with obs ive been looking for videos on how to fix my issue thank you very much

thank you for helping me, I couldn't download nvidia and it worked! thx again

YOOO, WANNA SAY TY AND THE 1ST METHOD WORKED FOR ME? i wanna try vtubing as a side hobby, but obs wasn't capturing the window of my vtuber application and showing a black screen, but with the laptop's normal windows. it worked fine somehow. now my obs is able to capture my windows!

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The game running on iGPU was the issue I was having! I set the game to high perfomance and OBS was able to Game Capture it!

who is going to ignore the fact that his applications are named something weird lmao

tengkyuu

How do i solve the problem of black screen for windows capture especially when its stating not connected or available?

This video helped me with a problem I had at a random time with me trying to record some Roblox, thanks! I still miss recording Roblox with Game Capture, but I guess thats what happens when you start to record some Minecraft too heh. Thanks for the video! It helped!

it might work for other people but not for me.cuz pressing the reset transform doesnt do anything and any other thing you said to do doesnt work.before i had it on roblox only,after that on getting over it and the game that actually worked (Geomatry dash) does not work anymore. please someone help me

i tried the reset size method but now its just a black screen with the red outline

ive tried every tutorial known to man, I also tried this one, and it still isn't working. It's not even a black screen, there is no screen. i can't select the game capture screen, I can't resize it, there's no red dots, it's just not there. It says it's thre, but its not

Thanks you so much bro because you i can upload my video with obs TYSM!!!

Hey! i really need help so if anyone knows what i'm doing wrong feel free to ask questions or suggest stuff!

i record and edit roblox content on my other channel but recently OBS has stopped recording roblox i used it all the time without any problem before so i don't think it's that i setup something wrong i've tried reseting the window size even though there was no red dot and many other things i have it set for game capture and obs even sees the "[RobloxPlayerBeta.exe]: Roblox" and i can select it without issue- i have no other sources right now other then my game capture for roblox and it is visible and i've tried recording just to see if maybe it works but no it's just a black screen even when obs can see the robloxplayer and for some reason i can't see the boarder anymore aswell- there is no red boarder at all please let me know if i'm just being super dumb and forgot to select something cause i would like to get back to making roblox context <3

LOLI ORPHANS BRO? NO WONDER THE POLICE IS AFTER YOU💀

There is just one solution - throw OBS out. It repeat over, and over, and over, and over again. Black screen every couple weeks. Worst trash ever.

Oh my... You're the most cool, clear, understandable, and not make me boring among all of the tutorial videos on yt. Great job!!

thank you reset transform fixed my issue

thx bro👌

I upgraded to the latest OBS and was able to see the window capture in properties tab, but not the main preview. Also the recording was blank. The graphics options were the same.
FIX: adding another window capture and leaving it named as "window capture 2" solved the problem ...I was able to see the preview in the main window and the "properties" tab.

ty running as admin fixed mine!

Bro this vid😂😂😂😂😂

THANK YOU! I have literally NEVER been able to find any videos going over the stuff about how laptops having two gpus screws things up! Its actually been so hard to find anything about it

Thx broo you are the best!

so run as admin the only key huh? bro this works thanks !

Love it thank you!

You are hilarious I hit subscribe before even watching

Thanks

If this doesn't work, just switch the mode to "capture foreground window with hotkey" and just set the key in the settings.

great job!!!! after watching 1000 tutorials on how to fix this issue; finally someone who really knows what they're doing

W video , was the dumb full screen shit-_-

obnoxious/silly/lame.

it is the same process like this to fix black screen on nba league pass?

Actually a savor thank you so much

thanks dude

Does anyone know how to get a Visual Studio app to work with Game Capture?

Thank for the vid. I literally found the problem as you mentioned it. The problem being the game capture source was stuck and not in full screen. LOL

Question: Is there a way to eliminate the pop-up that asks "Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device?" every time I open OBS? Thanks for the help.

Thanks, this helped me with some issues no one else was addressing!

OBS Portable, such a great tip! Nothing solved the black screen problem, so I'm about to try this

Bro Thank you so much.

evrything pops up but still black screen still having no luck

Thxx😊
