yes, update is a new config creation. Its all about trade offs, if you are doing a full display capture, you don't expect many updates, so updates being expensive isn't a huge deal. If you are doing a single window capture and expect lots of resizes, then make your initial capture as large as the largest window buffer, then just crop based on the resize. Then you have no more update calls that are doing re-allocations

#

that sounds like a bug

hello my OBS on mac keeps crashing how to i backup all of my things and fix this issue? I dont want to lose anything...

All other modes are display based captures

pearl yacht
#

yeah so we wouldn't be able to figure out what a good "largest" size would be for window capture - also I don't think the temporary memory usage is an issue, it's more that it doesn't go down after the resizes are done

Welcome to the OBS community support channel. If you have a question, go ahead and ask it, and if someone is available to help they'll respond. Try to be detailed, and provide a log if you are having issues with streaming/recording (Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log). Please be patient if someone doesn't respond right away!

Hello all,
I have been having audio issues during my twitch streams and I think I have nailed down all of them except one - I cannot get guests from a discord voice chat to come through on stream clearly without the audio popping or cutting out, or some people claim it sounds "robotic". My microphone is fine just the discord voice chat people aren't coming through. Sometimes it loads up and works for about 10-15mins and then it goes to poo. I've tried V-cable and Blackhole 16ch neither of them seem to be working. I'm on Monterrey 12.5.1

Hey all - I’m experimenting with using my iPhone as a video source, but am having trouble with the auto-focus function. I’ve tried using both the OBS Camera iOS app and Apple’s Continuity Camera, and both will start autofocusing, even with the focus set to manual. Im fully up to date with both my Mac and iPhone’s software.

forest axle
#

you probably have portrait mode engaged; click control center in the top right to make sure things like portrait mode are off

prime burrow
#

I tried that and it’s still occurring even with portrait mode unchecked

you may not have explicit control over the focus with continuity camera on. i don't have my machine in front of me at the moment to verify that though

Does it have something to do with the website new update or something?

Not sure why that's happening. One thing to try is deleting ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio, but you will lose all your scenes and settings if you do that so it's worth backing that folder up

#

To get to that folder, click on the Finder, then click the Go menu at the top, hold the Option key on the keyboard, then click the Library menu item.

Hi there, I'm trying to stream some videos that are rendered in HDR. On my computer and when uploaded to YouTube these videos look perfectly fine. However, when played through OBS certain green/yellow pixels simply come out black.

At present this is a standard SDR stream, but I have tried an HDR stream also. The same issue occurs, but while playing with the settings I managed to make these same pixels bright green instead. It was as if the saturation had gone to 1000%. It was crazy.

I'm assuming this is something to do with the HDR tone mapping, but not fully understanding that I cannot be certain. It's only the HDR renders I have this issue with and it's always the same colour range that shows this problem. This is problematic for me as my videos often contain foliage.

Any advice?

Hello Support. I am so glad I can ask questions. I am not very OBS savvy. I inherited our Streaming System and know very little about it. It has been working great for about 8 years. I updated the Mac Computer to Catalina 10.15 and now my camera is not working. OBS update 29 only works with MacOS 11 and higher. Is there a way I can get an older version that works with Catalina and my camera?

as a caveat, HDR support on macOS is pretty limited, but this sounds pretty odd so maybe worth looking into. can you provide a clean log of some output, and also a sample of the video you're adding as a media source?

can you confirm whether it also happens on a new and.empty scene collection with nothing but a media source?

not even a tone mapping filter

fading hareBOT
# eternal quiver How should I deliver video sample?

For testing purposes, you should create a new, empty scene collection. This will allow you to focus on the testing the specific sources that are suspected to have issues.

To create a new scene collection:
1. Click on the Scene Collection menu → New
2. Name the new collection "Testing"
3. In this new scene collection, add the sources that are suspected to have issues

Here's the sample and a screenshot of it showing the issue in a new scene collection. You see it mainly in the leaves in the background.

OBS Studio requires permissions from macOS to provide certain features. To grant them:

1. click on the OBS Studio menu → Review App Permissions
2. enable each of the permissions using the buttons on the right-hand side

  • (a) click on OK/Allow for the microphone and camera prompts
  • (b) grant Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions in System Preferences/Settings
    3. restart OBS Studio

For more information, see the macOS Permissions Guide

how would i separate my audio in OBS Catalina 10.15?

like have main desktop audio separated to my Spotify playlist that I’m using?

That would require an app called Loopback

Or Sound Siphon, another app that does the same thing

Both are paid but they’re your only options on 10.15

Hi all - I need some input with a recording output problem. Appreciate any input.

Today I recorded two sessions and the output .mkv/mp4 files were missing more than 1/2 of the output. The recording itself was ~ 15 mins and I got only 6+ mins in the final file. After the first time, I tried again, and got the same result. I only use OBS/recording occasionally, but have not had problems like this, including just yesterday. The only thing odd was that the 2nd time I noticed that when I hit the "Stop Recording" button, it took a long time to actually stop - displaying "stopping recording" - I think I hit it again and it stopped.

version: 29.1.1 (just now installed the latest)
macOS: BigSur 11.7.6
300 Gb free (plenty of space)
Recording material was a full iMac screen + a very hot audio from a music application (Max/MSP).

we won't be able to tell for sure without seeing a clean log of the issue. that said, if you were using the h264 hardware encoder that *sounds* like it could be a manifestation of a known issue where VT won't insert any keyframes which was addressed in 29.1.3 and onward

#

if it still occurs in the current version of OBS, please follow these instructions:

#

!maccleanlog

fading hareBOT
#

To help resolve your issue, we need to view a log file from a fresh launch of OBS Studio containing an output session. Follow these instructions to upload a clean log file:

  1. Restart OBS Studio first!
  2. Start your stream/recording replicating any issues (meaning having any games/apps open and captured, etc.)
  3. Stop your stream/recording after 30 seconds or after the issue has occurred
  4. Click the Help menu → Log Files → Upload Current Log File
  5. Paste the URL into this Discord channel

# forest axle we won't be able to tell for sure without seeing a clean log of the issue. that ...

Thanks @forest axle. I tried again using v. 29.1.3, a full system restart and no extra apps running. This time I got 3/4 of the recording, but not all of it. I uploaded the current log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/EftA0Anw1BrfnXbX

It looks like I have a CPU Encoder Overload and non-standard aspect ratio. My Audio app has a custom UI and it is really large in terms of screen space, but I can't get around that. I will investigate these and try again.

After I hit "Stop Recording" it sat in a state of "Stopping Recording" for ~5+ mins. OBS didn't seem to be doing anything, so I hit the button again. Should I let it stay that way until it "finishes" stopping on its own? Perhaps it is still writing out the file?

fading hareBOT

# fading hare

Update: I made recommended changes to lower my output resolution, changed to a standard apect ratio, and selected a faster Encoder x264. (I was using "fast - high quality" - not sure why, my screen activity is not that busy. ) Anyway - that seems to have fixed the problem. I got a clean recording all the way through and the "Stopping Recording" lingering is gone too.

BTW - I really appreciate the way the log analysis system and supporting documentation let me dig into this (mostly) on my own. I'm a digital musician and don't deal w video much, so I got some good education today!

Is there a portable obs for macOS? If not, will one ever come?

neon lily
#

Let's see

#

!portable

fading hareBOT
#

Portable Mode allows the program to save and access configuration data from the program's base folder. To enable portable mode:

1.) Install/unzip to a custom directory outside of "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files"
2.) Then either modify its shortcut with the --portable or -p command line parameter, or create a blank text file named "portable_mode.txt" in the base installation/unzip folder.

Hi there, I'm a newb to OBS but have done a bit of streaming with several other macOS softwares over the years. I've got what is hopefully just a newb issue… I can't get the properties of a new macOS Screen Capture source to show themselves, so I can't assign a Window or screen area to capture. The properties tab and button (see highlights in image) are both greyed-out for some reason. The OBS quickstart guide gives zero clues as to qhy this might be! I can get still images and .mp4 files playing and recording in OBS just fine, and even desktop audio from the screen capture source if I'm not mistake. But no vision.

Promised to record a zoom session for which the host account owner will be absent so we need another way to record. Working around the old mix-minus audio output from Zoom problem or I'd just use Quicktime Player Screen capture facility. Thanks in advance!

OBS Studio requires permissions from macOS to provide certain features. To grant them:

1. click on the OBS Studio menu → Review App Permissions
2. enable each of the permissions using the buttons on the right-hand side

  • (a) click on OK/Allow for the microphone and camera prompts
  • (b) grant Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions in System Preferences/Settings
    3. restart OBS Studio

For more information, see the macOS Permissions Guide

Realistically, the only apps that are compatible with the current virtual camera are Chromium-based browsers, like Chromium, Edge, Opera, Brave, Vivaldi, etc.

i said that the file doesnt display proper colors in VLC

no

#

i didnt even say i use quicktime

i said the video is quicktime format (MOV)

forest axle
jovial pilot

yes as a test

my issue is with VLC

not quicktime

lets restart

i have a video that doesnt display proper colors on VLC

either way, this isn't an OBS issue, and either way, i can't really help you as i'm only experienced in getting proper playback with different codecs on macOS. you should try #windows-support, and you need to post the details of the video codec information for anyone to be able to help

its no problem

i am sure it was saved in some kind of wrong codec

fuck it can't find.
So you have to understand something, which is the difference between a source and a sceneitem.

A source is basically the visual themselves. When you have a window capture source, the source is the visual of the window itself, and settings like "which window is it capturing" are settings of the source itself.

The sceneitem is basically the placement of a source inside a scene. Its position, size, shape, rotation... aren't tied to the source itself, but to a specific sceneitem of that source.
And you can have multiple sceneitems of the same source. So you can have the same window twice in the same scene in different size : those are two sceneitems of the same source, so you can change their position or size individually, but if you change the window captured, it'll change for both, because that's the same source.

Now for your question :
Paste (reference) creates a new sceneitem of the source.
Paste (duplicate) creates a whole new source, with the same settings as the copied one.

Hi everyone. New here. We are using Mac with Apple Silicon running Sonoma and using Google Chrome. We had been using OBS to stream on Whatnot, and following this past weekend, it randomly cuts all video and requires for us to refresh in the google chrome browser to get video back. We tried our intel based machine and same is occuring. Any idea of updates that occured this past 48 hours to why we might be experiencing video loss.

Developing OBS Studio for mobile devices is currently outside the scope of what the project is able to work on. Also, the majority of mobile hardware in use today is not capable of running the full OBS Studio feature set without significant compromises.

There are already many high-quality streaming apps optimised for mobile including Streamlabs Mobile or Larix Broadcaster, both available for iOS and Android.

To control OBS Studio through a mobile device, see the Remote Control Guide.

League of Legends can be best captured with two scenes:

In the first scene "Lobby", add a Window Capture source and select the League Client/Lobby application.
In the second scene "In-Game", add a Game Capture source and select the League In-Game application. To do this the first time, you must be in an active game session (Training Mode works fine for this).

You can then switch manually between the scenes or configure the Automatic Scene Switcher (found in the Tools menu) to do this automatically for you when you load into a match.

The lowest recommendation is 5 Mbps for 720p videos, 8 Mbps for 1080p videos, 16 Mbps for 1440p videos, and 35-45 Mbps for 4K video, so try these and bump them up till you find the sweet spot. (Basically bump them up until it starts to lag and then lower it a bit)

Hey I think I discovered a bug in OBS Mac 29.1.3 latest version (still on MacOS Ventura 13.6, i did not upgrade to Sonoma based on the problems I'm seeing people post about that OBS just stops working). A few days ago, I removed my logitech c920 camera in favor of my Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max (using continuity camera mode). Ever since then, it fails to load about 50% of the time, and i have to force close obs and re-open it. Any ideas? Is this a known bug that's being addressed in OBS 30, or have i stumbled on a new one?

but will fail the 3rd time.. like every other attempt fails.

For testing purposes, you should create a new, empty scene collection. This will allow you to focus on the testing the specific sources that are suspected to have issues.

To create a new scene collection:
1. Click on the Scene Collection menu → New
2. Name the new collection "Testing"
3. In this new scene collection, add the sources that are suspected to have issues

Hey everyone. Need urgent help. I recently updated my Mac to Sonoma and iPhone to iOS 17.0.2. After the updates, the continuity camera is not working in OBS. OBS is not able to detect my iPhone when I open OBS on Mac. What to do now?

midnight gull
#

loaded fine 5 times in a row, no crashes, with a new scene collection called "test"

#

loaded up fine in all of those logs with the test scene collection

plucky zenith
# midnight gull

ok, so it is one of your sources causing the issue. Either duplicate the original scene collection or export it as a backup, then delete sources till you find the one that causes it

midnight gull
#

may i make an observation 🙂 i'm 99% sure i already know the "source" causing the issue. it's the iPhone camera. the problem started when i added it to all my scenes.

#

what i'm trying to figure out is why. i think i've uncovered a bug with obs - this problem doesn't manifest with using iphone continuity anywhere but obs

#

just not sure what to do about it besides, don't use the iphone, or deal with 50% of the time obs having to be force closed and re-launched

If you’re using OBS as a TV, that’s to be expected

As a macOS user, when I try to add a video capture device in OBS, the properties window only allows me to adjust the resolution and frame rate. However, on Windows, I've noticed that you can adjust various video format settings, such as switching between YUY2 and MJPG. I've searched through all the options in OBS on my Mac, but I couldn't find a way to switch to YUY2 or adjust the properties of the capture card. Could someone please explain how to switch to YUY2 and adjust capture card properties on macOS? Thank you for your assistance.

Looking for help with transparency/opacity. I made a circular camera overlay SCENE so I can put my face in the top corner of recorded videos, using the instructions from this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqh00nfr-UU. I have also made a similar circular camera SOURCE and tried that, and have had the same problematic result. The problem is that ALL the settings for scenes, sources, and filters are set to 100% opacity, yet my face/circular scene/source is not opaque. They all look to be about 80% opacity. I've added additional color layers in both black and white between the background and my circular overlay as well. I am at a loss as to what to do next. I've added additional filters set to 100% opacity even though it already is, to no avail. Any help is much appreciated! 🙂

# plucky zenith well, does it still happen if you remove that source?

so i removed the iphone camera source from all of the scenes, and it still happened. (won't load obs at all first attempt, always loads second, and on and on and on...)... is there any way other than trying to remove one source at a time (I have hundreds and hundreds accross dozens of scenes) to figure out which source is causing obs to not load every other time?

forest axle
#

it may also be worth checking if it's a plugin issue by removing the plugins folder from your OBS application support folder. it seems unusual for a scene or source to only load half the time without any plugin interference

#

beyond that, the best way to check may be the tried and true process of binary search (try with half your scenes, then the other half, etc.)

#

you can expose the actual files used for your scene collections and profiles by doing file->show settings folder, then everything is in the basic folder

midnight gull
#

ahh appreciate it. i'll give plugins a try. it's so weird how it started at the same time i modified the camera stuff

#

i do have one more question actually come to think of it....

#

is there a way for me to tell which of my scenes are using the old "deprecated" way of screen share on mac vs the "new" way?

#

the icons for both look identical

forest axle
#

the icon for window capture is slightly different. deprecated window and display capture will also show this dropdown above the sources/mixer docks, which macos screen capture doesn't

Screenshot_2023-10-04_at_1.51.14_PM.png
midnight gull
#

ahh got it, thanks! i also remember possibly modifiying the screen capture for some speedrunning stuff during this time so i'll check to see if somehow i added a deprecated window or display and it's causing issues possibly.

forest axle
#

yeah that definitely shouldn't be an issue, while those sources aren't ideal to use anymore, they should be stable and not cause crashes. definitely check plugins first

midnight gull
#

ok will do

#

and thanks!

forest axle
#

👍

midnight gull
#

oh dear.

#

yam i hate to tell ya this but i think i uncovered a major bug somewhere here when it comes to mac screen capture

#

i backed up my scenes, and first removed the scenes having to do with the deprecated sources, as i had two like that

#

still opens only half the time. then i removed the scenes having to do with the "new" display capture

#

and it opens each time without fail. so now i'm going to restore the backup, and just remove the display capture sources themselves, see what it does

#

keep ya informed, trying now

dense inlet
forest axle
midnight gull
#

wow. yup. yam. red alert, hehehehe.....

#

i removed only the "new" mac display capture sources

#

crashes disappeared. and obs loads in under 1 second

#

whereas before it would take a good 5-6 seconds after clicking the app

#

let me know what you need from me...

#

the "deprecated" sources are still active. it is only the "new" display sources that cause the obs hang/crash-on-load

forest axle
#

i think at this stage we'd need steps for the most minimal way you're able reproduce the issue. i.e. is it a particular number of screen captures in a new scene collection that will trigger it? we should also have assurances that you've launched without any plugins and the issue still occurs, as some plugins can have unpredictable and unintuitive side effects

#

lots of people run lots of screen captures without issue so we'll need to do some triaging to see what exactly we're looking at

midnight gull
#

ok, so i will try two things next. with all of those sources removed i'll add a single "new" screen capture source, see if it's reproducable, and if so, i'll see if one of the plugins (I only have 3) is interacting with it by removing them, and seeing if it still happens?

#

that make sense?

Hello. I can't seem to get OBS to launch on an 2019 Intel MBP. It immediately crashes on startup. I disabled our ContentKeeper and CrowdStrike firewalls, so it should have a clear pipe to the OBS servers, but it still crashes at launch. Not sure what else to try. I've attached the Apple crash log, but since the program hasn't launched yet, there's no OBS-specific log in the ~/Library/logs directory.

welp. i can't re-create it now.

#

is it possible one of the capture sources somehow became "corrupted"?

#

because now no matter how much i try and add back to new capture, i can't get it to crash

#

i mean this isn't a bad thing from the perspective of "i solved my problem", but i don't know exactly why - ie, i know that removing the "new" capture sources made the problem stop, but now i can't get it to happen unless i restore the sources i removed.

yep, much easier in macos 13+

So I am having a new issue though. Once I added the macos screen capture and put in my airpods (to avoid echo within the recording) I have realized that it is no longer detecting my AT2020 mic through my audio interface. So now I have audio from the other person on discord but now for myself lmao

forest axle
#

in system settings->sound, you'll need to set macOS not to use your airpods as input; only output, if that's what you want

#

when you put in airpods, macOS assumes you want to use them for input. every time

nova delta
#

Yeah I have changed my setting accordingly but it still isn't recognizing the mic for some reason

forest axle
#

what isn't detecting your mic? discord? OBS?

nova delta

(I have been regretting the purchase of this computer for years lmao this mac has been a nonstop nightmare lmao)

#

Just OBS

#

Discord recognizes it fine

forest axle
#

have you added your mic as an audio input capture source?

#

macos screen capture will only capture audio *output*

nova delta
#

as it turns out

#

I am an idiot

#

So the input of mic/aux was recognizing the mic before but when I added the airpods it stopped. But when I added it as a separate audio input capture and boom it works.

I really appreciate the help though lmao. Sometimes, it really is just something simple and I am just dumb.
