No. As far as i know they do not supply any drivers except for their own application.

Global Setup? It's up to Elgato if they want to release drivers, there's nothing OBS can do about it.

You don't. Elgato does not have Mac drivers, only their own software is able to communicate with the device.

Correct. For Windows their software has Direct Show drivers which OBS can use. For mac they only have their own software and no interface which allows other applications to access it.

You can also try just maximizing the Elgato recording screen and then just using screen capture.
