Screen Capture (Blackness) virtual camera won't record

I use Blue Iris Tools to capture a weatherunderground station near me and display it as overlay text in a virtual camera. This is meant to document the current weather conditions (see attachment below). I have this virtual camera set to record, but BI does not create any clip files of this 'stream'. Because of this, when I go back to view past video of this camera, it is just a black screen with no text. The camera type I set up is currently set to "Screen capture" Blackness/Primary.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to reconfigure Blue Iris to save this virtual camera output so its overlay text is visible during play back later? :?

I do the same. Works for me.

Post captures of ...
- Record tab
- Video tab
- Video tab/edit overlay
- Video tab/edit overlay, right-click one of the overlays and post that.
