Software unable to record screen

The "Record" button is greyed out or the resulting video is black.
Symptoms
- Black video
- "Recording failed"
- No audio
Possible Causes

- Permission denied
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Permissions
Ensure the app has permission to access the "Camera" and "Microphone" in Windows settings.
2
Disable Hardware Acceleration
In your browser or the app, this can sometimes fix black screen recordings.
3
Update Graphics Drivers
Recording relies heavily on the GPU's video encoder.
When to See a Technician
You cannot record apps with DRM (like Netflix or Disney+) using standard screen recorders.
