    Heres a tip, if it still shows a black screen, remove your display capture and add it again. Hope this helps

    3:16 The only problem with doing "power saving mode" is that that when you record the quality goes WAYYYY down. Is there any way to fix this and still use the higher quality card? When I click the "High performance mode" I get the black screen again. Also the game capture doesn't work for me at all, the game capture is always a black screen.

    Thanks for this video, Alternative solution that I found for OSB is to use Image in lower layer , for this image choose green background image or you can use color background with green selected. the second layer above will be video capture device. Once you record, the video cam will be at the lower right of the mp4 file and the entire screen will have a green background. This becomes very useful when you import this clip into DaVinci Resolve and just remove the green background. on the other hand if you had left the default black background , removing black color would also remove black hairs from the video clip and would mess up the recording 🙂

    I experienced the black video in OBS just occasionally. After many useless attempts, I realized that it happened when I had disconnected/connected external monitors or a projector before recording.
    Final tip:
    BEFORE STARTING YOUR RECORDING, ALWAYS DO A TRIAL RECORDING AND WATCH IT
    (mostly if you have connected/disconnected an external video device)

    I'm pretty tech savvy. Still can't get OBS to even turn the indicator light on my Logitech c920. ABSOLUTE NOTHING! I tried everything in the video, just gave up and am using a different recording software. The fact that there are so many long troubleshooting vids about this made me just go with an easier plug and play solution. OBS really needs to be ironed out. I watched a 15 min video to find out why my source is a small red square at the top of the screen. Just don't have time for these little things. Thanks for the video though. Thorough!
