OBS just isn’t for macOS users. If you record video with it it’ll be corrupted. The performance is bad. It’s for people who stream to Twitch on a Windows computer.
The real problem is that the macOS security model broke virtual cameras in the latest version of Zoom.
- zapzupnz 6y agoCan you substantiate any of your claims? I've used OBS on macOS for a long time and your experience doesn't correspond to mine. It's true that there are some performance concerns and hardware encoding isn't available for streaming purposes on macOS due Apple's Video Toolbox API not exposing the appropriate encoder options. However, I doubt that OBS would be responsible for corrupted video. It uses the industry-standard x264 encoder — if there's a problem with the video, it derives from (A) your settings, and (B) x264. I'm more inclined to believe A than B. I'm more than happy to use Wirecast if you'll pay for a licence. I and most other people, mostly amateurs, don't have a spare US$599 lying around.

- FraKtus 6y agoI am a happy OBS user on macOS and use it both from streaming and recording. I never had any issue playing an OBS recording on macOS or uploading it to YouTube.
