GNOME screenrecord unavailable [Solved]

Hello
When I press `PrtSc` and GNOME's screenshot diolog comes, there is no video record choice to record a video. So I tried OBS studio and found that it shows the screen black when I try to record video with it. What is the problem? I installed pipewire, but still I have the problem.
NOTE: I have the problem in both of Xorg and Wayland.

As far as I'm aware, there isn't a way to record the screen in GNOME on Wayland. On Xorg, you probably missed that you needed to set the OBS capture to XSHM or xcomposite rather than pipewire, which doesn't do anything on Xorg.

And I'm pretty sure GNOME uses it's own thing rather than pipewire, which is used in Plasma Wayland.

That's because you have not checked the wiki.

Thank you! GNOME's screenrecorder's problem solved, but OBS's problem still stays.

How should I do this?
