Hello,

I am able to stream my desktop but don't know how to put the little window for my webcam on my stream. Is there a plug-in or someway to do this? I am using a mac and want to stream on twitch.tv. Thank you!

Add a new Video Capture Device to your scene. Your webcam should be selectable in the properties dialog of that source.

Thank you for your answer. I tried doing that and obs crashes right after it opens the 'dialog' box. Before it closed I noticed that the default device is Camtwist. (it crashes before I can try and change it). I then deleted camtwist from my computer and it still does that. Any advice?

Thanks so much.

Elgato does not provide the necessary drivers for their capture device and as a result it is currently not usable in OBS for Mac.

You need to update camtwist to the 3.0 beta. Once you do that OBS won't crash. At least that worked for me.
