![]() ![]() I am not a part of the OBS team, I don't represent them, I'm just a random person trying to drop whatever helpful resources I can on this thread that I think people will find if they search for why macOS 10.15 support was dropped and what they can do about it.MacOS Catalina, aka macOS 10.15, is an older version of the operating system that runs on the Mac. macOS Ventura (macOS 13) is compatible with these computers.macOS Monterey (macOS 12) is compatible with these computers. ![]() ![]() macOS Big Sur (macOS 11) is compatible with these computers.macOS Catalina (macOS 10.15) is compatible with these computers.Although I hear OBS supports more and more features / supports them better the newer macOS you can be on. If you have a model year 2013 or newer Mac, you should be able to get newer macOS. The most affected machines from OBS dropping macOS Catalina (10.15) support would be model year 2012 or older. Note to users on newer Macs (model year 2013+): Consider installing newer macOS if you can? But in general, streaming from these intel machines gets a lot more capable under Windows than macOS, IMO, just based off which encoders you can and can't use on each respective OS. ( ) Assuming you have anything to stream that can run on the older Mac in the first place. You also get access to the intel QuickSync Video (QSV) hardware encoder that can be really useful for livestreams, since it supports CBR quality controls that streaming services expect, unlike the Apple-provided hardware encoders exposed through macOS on these intel-based Macs (Apple Video Toolbox (VT) H264 Hardware Encoder). Windows 10 can run the latest OBS at the time I'm writing this. Note to users on certain intel-based Macs: Consider installing Windows?ĭropping by to note: If using the same machine is important, but being on macOS is not important, affected users may wish to install Windows (See: Install Windows 10 on your Mac with Boot Camp Assistant). Thank you for all you do, and thanks for considering this request. obviously I understand you can't support older macOS forever. OBS 29.0.2 and older are usable on macOS 10.15.7 (or at least I can confirm it launches on my macOS 10.15 machine). Note, for any macOS 10.15.7 users who may be curious which versions they can use. (Maybe others, but these are the pages/docs I found mentioning macOS 10.15 support.).-> click the Apple logo to see "The macOS release of OBS Studio supports macOS 10.15 and newer.".if CMake 2 can be used to produce such a build of OBS, or else the Changelog and all the documentation please be updated to say macOS 11.0 is the new minimum for OBS 29.1.ĭocumentation pages that should be updated if macOS 10.15 support is truly gone: So I would humbly request either a build be made that can run on macOS 10.15.7, e.g. Note: If a person only has a Mac capable of running macOS 10.15.7, they apparently cannot build from source, since docs say building OBS from source on macOS requires macOS 12 or newer. Minimum macOS deployment target is macOS 11.0 This macOS 11 minimum version requirement seems to have been introduced as of the big CMake 3 PR merged in March: #8247 (OBS 29.1 Beta 1 through to the Relese Candidate and 29.1.0 final release, all are equally affected) OBS 29.1 says it requires macOS 11 or later, and refuses to fully launch. N/A (OBS does not launch, so no log file is generated) Expected BehaviorĮxpected OBS Studio 29.1 to launch on macOS 10.15, since it didn't say anywhere I looked before downloading that macOS 11 or newer was required.
