A black recording usually means Chrome shared a surface the GPU or OS will not paint into the capture stream. The fix is almost always a different source or a fresh picker session.
Fixes to try
- Stop, then record a tab instead of the full screen (or the reverse).
- Disable hardware acceleration in Chrome settings and retry once as a test.
- On Windows, update the GPU driver if black frames appear only on full-screen shares.
- Close other capture tools that may lock the display.
- Confirm you selected the monitor that actually shows the UI.
More context: when Chrome cannot share a surface.
