But the issue is with adding a video capture source, and at the end, display capture is being selected. I'm trying to resolve black screen when selecting a video capture device.

same issue

[@iMoMoxs]

I have a problem when I connect the capture card in the middle of the stream or every 5 minutes after connecting, the screen does not signal for 5 seconds and then automatically connects for 5 seconds and this process repeats during the replay, after 5 minutes it automatically disconnects and After 5 seconds, it connects again quickly

[@StephLeeTech]

What brand of video capture card are you using?

[@iMoMoxs]

@StephLeeTech elgato HD60X

[@StephLeeTech]

@@iMoMoxs Seems like a lack of power to the video capture card.

It still shows as black for me. I have tried different HDMI cords, streamlabs OBS, OBS studio, updating drivers for my capture card uninstalling and reinstalling everything, plugging and unplugging everything, and nothign works. it is a new computer i got today, and it works on my old computer. I have an intel (r) irisx(r) graphics card. what do i do?

[@StephLeeTech]

Do you have a webcam that you can try?

[@jrazzam]

@@StephLeeTech My built in webcam works. But it turns out the gamecapture app wont download the video driver for me no matter what i do

I have connected my camera capture card in my manage camera but my obs still turns black screen. What do I do?

[@StephLeeTech]

When you run apps like Google Meet and Microsoft teams, are u able to see your camera view?

everyone says do graphics IT DOESNT WORK SOMEONE HELP ME

[@StephLeeTech]

Do graphics?

[@Sammys_S.A.M]

@ sorry for the misconception, what I mean is: I'm trying to use game capture I've tried going into graphic settings and giving obs more power; It doesn't work. Other solutions I've tried are updating my drivers, resetting transformation, centering to screen, reinstalling obs, and running in administrator. None of them have worked. Obs was working just fine last Sunday, but now it doesn't work and the only thing that will work is window capture. I game and recording in window capture tanks my performance, and I don't use display capture because I record gameplay with my friends and I want all of use to stay anonymous. Sorry for the informality and in obscurity in the original comment I was tried and upset.

OBS is a poor program. Too many issues. One day it works, then another it suddenly stops. To me that is incompetence in programming.
