Black Screen Keep your work private Turn your remote screen black while working with your files and applications to protect sensitive or confidential information. The Teamviewer monitor driver has been installed. All I can say is that blanking out the remote screen of a Mac is not possible with TeamViewer at the moment.

So what’s the main cause of this matter and how to work this “black screen recording” problem out? Keep reading this post to get more details.

Possible Reasons of Black Screen Recording

● You don’t have the right to do screen capture: From system, software, to target recording content, you may be forbidden to do screen grabbing by either of them. Most probably, it’s the piracy protection or say DRM that matters.

● System bug: The minor unknown bug of machine system, especially the Android OS, may get certain users get involved in this black error. Surly it may be an occasional one which you can get rid of by yourself or a serious bug that needs further system update.

● Screen Recorder’s bug: Same as the last reason, any screen recorder app may sneak off and get a performance bug, on account of its internal mechanism or recording settings.

● Improper recording environment: Your recording happens to become black because of you have overburdened your PC or gadget. Also, when your screen recorder doesn’t work on the same GPU with recording app, screen gets black too.

● Outdated GPU driver: An old graphics driver may arise the abnormal display issue, of course including the display during screencasting.

How to Fix Black Screen Recording on Computer and Mobile?

You can follow the steps below one by one or pick the one(s) as you like to troubleshoot the no image error of screen recording at will. As the black screen recording often happens as a result of unsuccessful playback or recording, the related fixing ideas are all involved in the the following part.

1. Play the recorded file with another media player
No matter you are taking advantage of the default system-bundled player or third-party player app like VLC, first and farmost, you’d better try several other players to rule out the possibility of such problem is created by player app itself.

2. Re-render the black screen video with video processing software
If the video is unplayable anyway, you can try to reprocess it with the help of VLC’s Convert feature or dedicated video transcoder like HandBrake (for PC only). There’re such video converter for mobile, too. However, since video reprocessing is a little bit source-intensive, initiating it on more powerful computer is highly recommended.

3. Restart the screen recorder, reboot the phone or computer.
Reopen software or machine is the top solution for various unusual phenomena including black screen during recording period.

4. Ensure software, system and driver (for PC only) are all up to date.
If either of them is not upgraded to the latest version, especially the PC’s graphics driver, you may run into this black screen recording snag.

5. IMPORTANT! You must be permitted to record screen.
If the target app or streaming content has restriction on screen recording, black screen will appear for sure. That’s why many people find they only get black screen issue when recording certain apps or saving videos from Amazon Prime, Netflix and alike platforms. Besides, your antivirus app might also protect you against unwanted screen capture, so do confirm your screen recorder app is to among the white list. If you have TeamViewer, uncheck Show black screen option.

6. Change recording settings
Basically, you are suggested to alter the in-app recording settings like resolution, frame rate, quality and so forth. As to desktop screen recorders like OBS, Bandicam and filmora scrn, they are usually preloaded with more recording parameter options and even the recording priority to guarantee a higher performance. The parameters’ range also varies from programs, the more advanced of which often give users a full control on video & audio quality with their down-to-earth choices e.g. format, size, quality, codec, fps, frame rate, sample rate, channels and more.

You should make a change of capture settings on application depending on the real situation to see if it helps, for instance do lower the quality level and parameter value if your PC is a low-end one; disable the GPU hardware acceleration (specifically hardware encoder) for video processing; and apply another different parameter combination for the same capture.

If your PC has more than one GPUs and the recorder software and the target recording content run on different cards, black screen also takes place. At this time, you must take action to have them run on the same graphic card.

7. Use another screen recorder
Although many screen recorders seem to have the same or similar recording features, their actual capabilities and efficiency differ from one to another. So when you are bumped into the black screen difficulty, why not seek for some other alternative(s) to repeat the video grabbing.
