OBS Studio for Mac - How to Install & Configure 

Btw, for people doing this is 2021 it might say installation failed when you try to install soundflower. You will have to go to Privacy

Thank you so much this really helped me I was getting tired of sticking a camera in front of a monitor all the time and turning the lights off.

Greetings from Finland! Video tutorial was REALLY helpfull, thank you🔥

The audio is being recorded but I can't hear it.

a little question when i install soundflower and config my obs and Audio-midi-setup like you did it, it isnt possible for me to regulate the sound by using for example the louder of my keyboard. Could you help me how to fix it? Pls? Also the butten in the taskframe is grey and not with anymore..

hi, i would like to ask for an advice because when i used OBS in my macbook air and tried the browser for live streaming in youtube. it was lag. how can i solve this problem?

It friggin works! Your tutorial are so chill and straight to the point. Thanks dude!

Is there a different when using Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for recording rather than just plugging in your microphone to your Mac directly?

wow 2 years later and this still works like a charm.

Thanks Dude! So, which program would you recommend for lower spec or old Mac?

Great work MrMacRight! Have you by chance installed OBS NDI on Mac? I'm having a difficult time finding install instructions - as far as I can tell, you have to right click on the OBS app icon to switch it from being a "Package" to showing as folders - where to place the files from there is a mystery to me. I wish I could find an OBS NDI tutor!

and recommendations for dropped frames while playing games. My internet speed is beastly so I'm not entirely sure what's going on

I can't even get a reading with the Scarlett. On a MacBook as well. Records in logic but for some reason no signal in OBS even though it recognizes it. I don't think I need to install sunflower for that right?

You're amazing, Thanks! You just helped a studio team broadcast live to tape. :)

Great video and clear instruction. Now OBS works 👍🏻. Thanks.

For all the people who are struggling to get the desktop audio working, on Audio MIDI Setup, right-click "Multi-Output Device" and click "Use This Device For Sound Output". Hope this helps.

Thank you so much I have a MacBook Air and I was having difficulties and this helped a lot! 👌

Do you happen to know what release of OBS I would need for OS 10.11.6 on my MacBook Pro? I can't install any newer version of the OS. Thanks.
