Having upgraded OBS before on macOS, I backed it up first, then installed the new version. As somewhat expected to me, the new version is not launching. I had to launch it from CLI to see and see there is an error: error: os_dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib->libpython3.9.dylib): dlopen(libpython3.9.dylib, 257): image not found It also changes something in the stored state on disk so that next time you try to launch an older…

Pretty sure (can't check rn) Big Sur only bundles Python 3.8 (and earlier OSes may be even older Python versions).

Installing 3.9 from python.org might fix this. I can't see which other version they would build against but not include in the install.

If you use OBS, I would love show you our product https://www.stream.club . We're bringing OBS into the browser, making it really easy to create live video content. Our customers find that they can get setup in Stream Club much faster than they can with OBS, and they don't need a powerful computer to do it. Happy to answer any questions!

This looks like a slightly inferior version of https://streamyard.com/ (in particular, fewer participants at each price level) - do you have any value propositions above what they offer?

Streamyard is a great company so I'll take slightly inferior as a major compliment!

We're actually have all the features of their Professional plan ($50/month) at half the cost.

The on-screen participants per live stream is something we've capped at six for usability reasons (livestreams just don't look good with 10 faces on a stream).

OBS is great, with lots of useful feature.

One setup to combine multiple computers into one video stream I don't see often is to run OBS virtual camera on each computer to capture the local screen, and then feeds the OBS virtual cam videos over NDI to other computers. One of the computers running OBS acts as the combiner to take in all the remote video sources and combine them into the final output video.

My favorite OBS feature is that you can bring in transparent browser windows all over the place. As such, I have my work conferencing set up so my time appears in the upper-right corner. I’m on the east coast and everyone I work with is on the west coast. It’s a nice way to remind them of my current time. (It also passive aggressively animated to purple with a moon when its “after hours,” a/k/a 5pm for me.) I also ha…

I've embedded a browser window in an OBS stream on my mac, and it just about ground my computer to a halt; the CPU was pegged at 100%, and using it with Zoom basically meant not using anything else. Is it just me?

My MacBook Pro fans are roaring like airplane engines after several minutes

This is one of my favorite pieces of free software I've ever used. Amazingly powerful and it's cross platform! I use it to record all sorts of videos, and only very occasionally stream.

Congrats to their team + contributors, and thank you if you're lurking.

OBS is such wonderful software. It's immensely powerful yet approachable and performant. I am not a streamer, but I've found it really useful as an audio/video swiss army knife. Many thanks to the team and community behind it!

Yeah; I'm not a streamer either, but it took me all of an hour to go from "what's OBS?" to enabling use of my iPhone as the video camera for Zoom calls. Haven't had time yet to do anything interesting with OBS "scenes", but it looks similarly, surprisingly straightforward. A+!

That sounds great - I need a webcam for my desktop workstation and I’d love to just use my iPhone. Can you share more about your setup? What software are you using on your phone to connect it?

This is fantastic. I really like the local-time clock idea. Now that I’ve been enlightened, I think it should be a standard option in all conferencing software.

My particular use case depends on more than 6 participants, which is why I asked - but I think it may not be a common one.

Thanks for explaining! Hope you're able to get it into public beta soon.

edit: I also realized that "slightly inferior" was denigrating, which wasn't really how I intended it, even if you took it as a compliment. Sorry about that.

OBS is the cat's pajamas for making zoom presentations reliable, and for making any kind of tutorial/demo video. I really like the fact that whatever layout/system you cook up "just works" for both. Love it to bits!
