OBS Link is not working with OBS Studio 24.0.5 (or newer) and macOS Catalina

The following article is for a product that is now considered Legacy (EOL) status. Because of this, the information below may not match what is possible with current Elgato hardware and software.

When updating to OBS Studio version 24.0.5 (or newer), it is possible that the NDI plugin is no longer present, which is needed for OBS Link to function.

 

In this case, please update to the latest version of OBS Studio:

 

https://obsproject.com/download

 

After the installation is complete please download and install the NDI plugin from the link below (in some cases it may be enough to just reinstall the plugin, if you already on the latest version of OBS Studio):

 

https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases/download/4.7.1/obs-ndi-4.7.1-macOS.pkg

 

To install the plugin you may have to hold down the Control key on your Keyboard and click onto the installer package.

 

Quit OBS Link from the Menu bar in the top right corner.

 

Afterwards, please open the Finder > Applications and restart OBS Link

 

In the preferences of OBS Link you should be able to verify the current version of OBS Studio:

Please reopen OBS Studio and check if you can select the NDI source:
