Does this still happen when you start recording after the game is fullscreen?

Tried borderless?

Ok, I tried 4 different games, need for speed, rocket league, elden ring and Minecraft
I wanted to record some Minecraft gameplay and turns out it only happens in Minecraft. I tried having it on Fullscreen while i have already started recording and the footage is just a black screen. It doesn't have borderless option tho, what I've realized is when I start for example need for speed, this nvidia notification "press alt + z ..." always pops up so I know its gonna record the gameplay, but when I start Minecraft it doesn't pop up

ShadowPlay has many unresolved issues and may be difficult to completely fix.

No webcam input
This GFE feature was removed in the update to NVIDIA App.

Corrupted video
If you haven't done so, update your drivers and NVIDIA app to the latest. If it still is, DDU.

Mic volume resets
If you haven't done so, update your drivers and NVIDIA app to the latest.

Overly bright/blown out video
If intending to be used with HDR displays: If you haven't done so, update your drivers and NVIDIA app to the latest. This can help with ensuring HDR video look correct with HDR displays.

If intending to be used with non-HDR displays: Turn off HDR in Windows, NVIDIA App (RTX HDR), and in-game. HDR video can display incorrectly outside of its original environment and is not recommended for sharing.

Video becomes washed out after editing/trimming in a Microsoft app
There's a bad interaction with ShadowPlay videos and Microsoft apps when editing/trimming them. Please use a non-Microsoft app to edit videos.

Game crashes instantly when Instant Replay is enabled or manual recording starts
The game may not be compatible with ShadowPlay. Use another software to record.

Bit rate is extremely high
If you haven't done so, update your drivers and NVIDIA app to the latest. Then either:

  • set an explicit resolution matching your display
  • (for ultrawide resolutions, use the larger width, e.g. 2560x1080 will use 1440p to cover the 2560 width)
  • OR set the quality to Custom first, then set your quality

Bit rate resets to a quality preset
If you haven't done so, update your drivers and NVIDIA app to the latest. Then set the quality to Custom first, then set your quality.

Dropped frames at high GPU load situations
Please keep in mind that very high resolutions and frame rates may cause dropped encoder frames (e.g. 4K120 or 8K). Unless absolutely necessary, either use a lower resolution (e.g. 1080p120) or a lower frame rate (e.g. 4K60). This also affects other real-time encoding software such as OBS.

Poor video smoothness
Try recording at 120FPS, and/or limit the game's frame rate to any of the following: 30, 60, 120, integer multiples of 60. This also affects other real-time encoding software such as OBS.

If none of the above are relevant and DDU/reinstalling the NVIDIA App doesn't help, please try OBS instead.

You can download OBS Studio here, and read the following guides to configure it:
