I was using OBS to record a movie from YouTube, but the recorded video showed nothing but a black screen. Did I do something wrong? How can I fix the problem? Please help me.
The reason why your recorded video showed nothing but a black screen is that the video is protected by YouTube with some encrypted codes to prevent others from recording. In this situation, OBS Studio, as an open-source video recorder, has nothing to do with it. So, the best solution for you is to try another video recorder software.
I want to recommend EaseUS RecExperts to you. This is a professional video recorder for both Windows and Mac, so you don't need to worry about its compatibility.
Record screen/audio/webcam without a time limit or watermark
🔎Steps on how to avoid a black screen when recording YouTube videos are listed below:
Step 1. Launch EaseUS RecExperts on your computer. Find the "Enhanced mode" from the left sidebar.
Step 2. After going to the enhanced mode, a window will pop out to remind you that there will be a slight change on your screen. Click "OK". The red "Rec" button will turn blue now.
Step 3. Choose to record with "Webcam", "System sound", and "Microphone". After setting, click "Rec" to start recording and finish it with "Stop".

Does TikTok Show Screen Record? Here is the Quick Answer!
Does TikTok show screen record when you record videos? The answer is no. TikTok doesn't notify anyone, including the content creator, when you record or screenshot a clip, no matter how many videos you have recorded using a smartphone or desktop.
