Streamlabs Issues

28swphotography · 1 Sep 2019 at 14:08

So I am trying to stream, some gameplay, of SC300, Sim City, I have Streamlabs set up, to display capture and nothing, tried running Streamlabs as Administrator, and still nothing, just a black screen. Any help

You have to select the scene source you want it to display, of you have two monitors then select the right one. Also you can choose the scene to be any full screen application, you will have to have a look in the options by pressing the+ and adding the correct one
Make sure the game is actually in full screen and not windowed or Borderless

Only one monitor I am trying to stream with, and I have selected the settings that you have said, and still it is black

And this is the result, just with one monitor, everything set up, properly and nothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6ADe48yT7I

guess it would help if you could show us screenshots from each of the setting pages available on streamlabs

One that I have done with Display Capture, and why is it not at full screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFQUh2IApzc

Use OBS, its the only streaming software you will ever need.

I get the same when I use OBS as well, just a black screen, when on GameCapture

Same software (more or less) as I understand it. streamlabs, I believe, uses obs and just sticks it’s own UI over the top. Makes it easier to add ‘widgets’ etc. At least as far as I’m aware.

Have you turned hardware acceleration off in the settings? If not, turn it off and try again
