- This OBS game capture black screen fix 2022 video for Windows 10 & 11 PCs will show you how to fix OBS game capture not working. This OBS Studio tutorial/guide works on laptops, desktops and multi-GPU setups. In this OBS guide I show you how to run OBS as Administrator & the benefits. I also show you how to fix all known 3rd party applications interfering and conflicting with OBS, and how to fix OBS Minecraft black screen issues. I cover how to use OBS game capture after adding it to the sources panel as well as the best game capture settings for hassle-free gameplay recordings. I cover how to Download, Install and Set up OBS portable mode to help you diagnose Issues with OBS plugins and user settings. Note: macOS users should use Display Capture for the best performance instead.
If you want the best OBS tips and tricks for recording smooth, high fps gameplay with NO stuttering. I'll probably upload a 'best encoder settings for OBS' video soon!

How to Set Up and use Game Capture on OBS:
In the Sources Box select the + and choose Game Capture
Fullscreen will capture fullscreen games, capture specific window lets you specify the game (the game must be on, then select its name in the Window dropdown). It’s recommended to leave the properties window options (SLI/Crossfire Capture Mode (Slow), Allow Transparency, Limit Capture Framerate, Capture Cursor, Use anti-cheat compatibility hook) on default. Note: SLI Capture often causes game capture to break if it's not a specific hardware setup
OBS Administrator Mode:
A lot of games require OBS Studio to run as administrator in order to be captured. This helps with performance in some cases
Conflicting Software:
Some overlays, FPS counters and anti-virus programs can interfere with OBS. As of 27.1, Rivatuner/MSI Afterburner are especially prevalent conflicts. You can enable compatibility with OBS by selecting the "Use Microsoft Detours API hooking" option in RTSS' Setup
Issues with Emulators / Old games:
If you're having issues with capturing with Game Capture, try capturing them with Window Capture.
Games with Known Issues & Solutions:
Call of Duty: Run OBS as administrator
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO): Use windowed/borderless fullscreen or use Window Capture
Destiny 2: Use windowed/borderless fullscreen and Window Capture instead of Game Capture
Fortnite: If you experience crashes or framerate issues in DX12 mode, switch to DX11 mode
League of Legends: Create two scenes. In the first scene, add a Window Capture of the LoL launcher/lobby. In the second scene, run the game to add a Game Capture of the game itself Finally, configure the Scene Switcher to automatically swap between them
Minecraft: Java Edition: For laptops and all-in-one computers, follow the how to fix game capture black screen in OBS Minecraft guide near the top of this description
Genshin Impact: Run OBS as admin
Multi-GPU Systems:
When using OBS on a laptop or multi-GPU system, you may run into performance issues or issues using a specific capture type. This happens because most modern laptops come with two GPUs:
An integrated GPU (iGPU) for 2D applications/your desktop, and
A discrete/external GPU (either NVIDIA or AMD) for 3D apps and games
If OBS is running on the integrated GPU, you will not be able to use Game Capture for your games running on the discrete (NVIDIA or AMD) GPU. Additionally, if OBS is not running on the discrete GPU, you may run into performance issues. In rare cases, trying to capture a game running on a different GPU than OBS can cause the game to crash. Always make sure your OBS and the game you are running are using the High-performance GPU
OBS Display Capture Black Screen:
If you add a display capture source and see a black screen when ‘Automatic’ is selected and you have a multi-GPU system, select 'Windows 10 (1903 and up)' to get it to display
Game captured at the wrong size (Red dot in preview screen):
Right-click the source, select the Transform menu, then click Reset Transform (Ctrl-R). In the same menu, click Fit to Screen (Ctrl-F) - Навчання та стиль
See you again in 2096🎅

i would probably die by then
You saved me so much time. It was the game transform reset that fixed it. Literally no where else mentioned this and I was close to reseting all of obs and losing my setting to try and fix it. Thank you
Wow it was the same for me. Didn't expect such a simple solution to work but it did :3
same here!
Thanks for this. The different GPU issue for laptop users was my issue, and you've saved me many headaches
I feel scammed, he said the video is 5 minutes but its actually 6.
Proof?
Still 5:56
The RTSS setting fixed it for me. Thank you. It made no sense why I was able to record just fine for a year or so and then all of a sudden black screen for just the one game when I used game capture. Using display capture would work but you get everything else recorded too. You can't alt-tab without it showing.
The only page that is direct to the point. Thank you!
First solution worked for me! Thank you 🙌
i know this is supposed to be a tutorial but all i can focus on is your beautiful desktop application names
Riva Tuner's mircrosoft hook thing did it for me. Thank you very much, kind sir
Thank you so much! Yours is the only guide that seemed to work for my system. Subbed and liked!
Finally someone who is actually not useless and shows a video that actually works. My head was about to explode, wondering why my game didn't show up in OBS but still showed up in stream. This was the issue, simply changing app settings (both OBS and the game) to use the same GPU, high performance. Then running OBS as administrator just in case. Now the game properly shows up in OBS rather than a black screen.
Got it, thanks. Works, thumbs up.
Great video, to the point, appreciate it! My problem was having MSI Afterburners OSD running. Cheers!
reset transform did it for me, thank you !

I also experienced the TRANSFORM issue, as the window was sized to be as small as ZERO pixels. There is no greater being than you. I smashed that like button. Subbed. Shared. Followed.

Wow finally I found the solution. This RTSS setting was the problem
Thanks for assist and helping. Main issue was been with API hooking in MSI Afterburner.
Was pulling my hair out to why it wouldn't capture my game. Thanks for the fix bro 👌🏻
Thanks mate, looked like it was my Rivertuner that I use to cap my FPS that was stopping my game from showing.
worked perfectly well, thank u
The only other thing I would add here is that you will need to have a computer in order to run OBS. It unfortunately does not work on pen and paper. I learned that the hard way. Other than that, this was a flawless tutorial :)
I rewatched the tutorial 5 times and I was shocked to find out I left out that most important step!!! My apologies kind sir :o
This video got me on track. Couldn't figure out what the issue for me was, but eventually I found that the XBOX Game Bar was switched on. Switching this off fixed it for me. Thanks.
i have an external ssd so the first one helped me immediately!
thank youu, I finally can record the game I wanted.
3:26 was all I needed for League, thx!
Running as adm worked for me on Genshin Impact. Thanks!
Thanks for the video!
This helped me out a lot as I was trying to get the Bedrock edition of Minecraft up! Thanks!
Thanks man! Running OBS as administrator worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you soo... much saved my life its my first time recording .
Thank you this fixed it! 💕
OMG Mate ! Thanks !!! MSI Afterburner was the imposter I never find a solution for that til yet... Thanks a lot !
The GPU one worked thank you I tried for 5 hours to fix it before.
Turned out to be RivaTuner, i’ve been looking for DAYS for a solution. You’re a legend.
my man I'm losing my mind because the new nvidia drivers got my obs shitting itself constantly, after downgrading my driver everything seemed to work fine again, until I realized that game capture wasn't working. hours and hours of research and that one tiny insert of RivaTuner just fixed my issue. Thank u so much man AAAAAAgh
Ty so much out of all videos your the one help
Me 🙏🙏👏👏👏
ok , this is bay far the best guide I've ever watched
Thanks man you really helped me out God bless
U deserve more and more supported. U are underrated.
Thank you, man.
there's a final option if all else failed also try this :
- right click game
- click properties
- in target go further right press space and type -dx11
- click apply
OBS still have issues with some of DX12 games
Fixed my issue i noticed after getting my new card. Turns out it was the riva tunner statistics setting. Everything is great now :D
legend fixxed the problem thanks man
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! was the rts afterburner etc etc
It was the god damn afterburner setting bro THANK YOU
Very good tutorial! This may have fixed some issues with game capture.
If your screen shows in preview: games, click transition and it'll go to the other screen.
