Aug 03, 2021 Exclusively, OBS Streamlab Mac provides alerts, text-to-speech automation, widgets, and layouts for free. Steps to Download Streamlabs OBS on Mac Here are the easy steps to get OBS Streamlabs Mac working on your computer. Download Streamlabs OBS. Visit StreamLabs.com and click on the Download Tab visible at the top right corner. Both are brilliant for streaming and recording but for the purpose of today’s guide be sure to download OBS Studio and NOT Streamlabs OBS! Step 2: Install The Application To setup OBS Studio on your Mac, locate the downloaded DMG file and double click it to extract the files. With the release of Streamlabs OBS for Mac, a common question is “Why can’t I capture desktop audio?”. Unlike Windows, macOS does not have any system-level audio routing. This means that individual apps can’t access audio signal from other apps out of the box.
OBS Studio is one of the most (if not the most) popular app used when a user wants to stream live video. Whether you want to stream to Twitch or YouTube, OBS is the software that people turn to. Twitch recently released Twitch Studio (Windows only) which should be a viable alternative to OBS.
Table of Contents
While OBS has had a high recommendation from streamers, it isn't the easiest to learn or even look at. The UI could be much improved; it doesn't scale well for HiDPI screens. It doesn't add many features besides the main streaming and scenes tools.
Streamlabs OBS (lovingly named SLOBS) was my favorite streaming app on Windows. It has now made its way over to Mac! SLOBS is an open source streaming software built on OBS and Electron.
Compare SLOBS to the OBS interface.

Streamlabs OBS Is My Favorite Streaming App
Streamlabs OBS is an all-in-one live streaming app to help all streamers build up their streams. The main tool they provide is their version of OBS.
Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) is the same code as OBS but improved functionality and UI.
Obs Streamlabs For Mac Download
Streamlabs makes it incredibly easy to get started with streaming. I was bummed when I switched over to macOS and found that SLOBS isn't on Mac... until now! I have been using Ecamm Live in the meantime but it's had performance issues for me.

Check out the video for a walkthrough of SLOBS, the tool I'll be using to stream from now on.
