You can attempt to bypass this by changing it to ‘Capture specific window’, and in the Window option, finding and choosing the game’s window to capture.Īlternatively, if you are still finding that the game is not capturing the game, you will instead need to use either the Window Capture option and specify your game, or Display Capture and ensure that you are running your game in Fullscreen or Borderless Windowed (if the game you are playing supports it). Here, you will see that the Mode that it is trying to find is set to Auto by default, where it will search for a game to capture for you. If you are still finding that it will only show a black screen, right-click on your Game Capture source and head to properties. Removing the Game Capture Source by highlighting it and pressing Delete on your keyboard, and adding it back in again can also help with this. This will restart the engine that powers the automatic game capture and allow you to display the game properly. Again, if no change to the black screen, try restarting your Streamlabs OBS. This will give OBS a chance to find the program again as it is loading up and collect the information to display for your stream. After about 20 seconds, you should find it will normally pick this up. This will make sure that your OBS knows that it’s showing a screen to capture rather than a static application. In the first instance, after you have added the game capture scene to your OBS, make sure that you have made the game your active application by simply clicking into it and moving around. A quick boot to safe mode to remove the device from Device Manager and to re-install it solved the problem, but this seemed more like a hiccup.
