You are a god just bought a chat link, didn't know how it worked, I was so confused why Chatlink and obs weren't communicting. Then OBS link saved the day. Thank you so much bro. I gotta follow now

I have that same problem NDI not showing up

same, its because of Apples latest firmware update 11.2

[@DMMediaAndTech]

Believe me you are just a life saver

[@Wutodouble]

To answer some people’s question: no, it’s not an M1. You can tell by the mere fact that it has a USB-A slot. And for those who r having trouble with obs link and M1. OBS link is currently not compatible with Apple silicon. I am sadly using my 2013 mbp to stream over my m1 pro due to this non-compatibility

[@VerluerByEzi]

looks like many others and myself have the NDI plugin downloaded but when we get to streamlabs it doesn’t show up but it does in the elgato capture hd what do we do next?

Thanks for the video dude. I just got an el gato gifted to me as I just started streaming. Do you think I am better off buying the audio cable and trying to use my hyper x headset? Or should I buy a separate USB mic? Trying to do whatever is the least of a hassle. I'm reading sooo many conflicting things online.

[@McLovin-hs1ho]

Guys listen if your computer does not have a 3.0 usb plug-in you CANNOT use this, a 2.0 doesn’t let it work so therefore you will have to buy another computer with a 3.0 port it’s a blue color because an adapter won’t fix it.

[@thelastnatty8537]

What Mac you using

[@vivekranjantube]

4:10 how come you connected USB 3.0 to the new MacBook air m1? this is really very shocking,

[@sontse3524]

Hi. I am new with all this. I am only using the default game capture HD software from elgato and everything seems fine except that there is a lag in my controller. Its very minor but its bothering me when playing call of duty. Please advise. What is the purpose of OBS?

[@erv.7663]

Hey! what’s your MacBook Specs??

[@drathetwiner]

I followed all your steps and I still can’t get gameplay audio on my stream. All u hear is static noise. I have the elgato chat link cable and all. Also on Streamlabs the NDI source doesn’t pop up. Do I need to download obs link cause I have the elgato HD 60 +

[@jonromero6248]

Man my iMac doesn't have usb A input

[@roro_online]

I gave followed every step on this video and I have everything downloaded and set up correctly. My issue is that when I choose the HD 60s in the game capture software, it just says "one moment please" and there is an error message that says I need at least one dedicated GPU. I have the 2019 MacBook pro and it should easily be compatible. what could be wrong?

No matter what I do, OBS isn’t detecting my headset/mic with or without chat link. I have tried everything.

[@beans4843]

how do you get ndi to show up?? I have all the plugins and still dont get ndi on either slobs or obs

[@CobraC_yt]

Hey Beans, I had the same issue. I think what I did was streamed once after trying and the next day when I streamed the NDI plugin showed up. I think it takes so time for SLOBS to update so just reset your machine 2-3 times and see if it shows up. This is one of the issues I had the biggest trouble with but didn't get to capture in the video

[@MisterJey215]

Hi You got a graphic card nvidia on your Mac ?

[@coreonJ]

My game audio still isnt coming through. I feel like I’ve tried everything at this point😭

[@EikoK]

Same here. I'm sad ☹️

[@coreonJ]

@@EikoK I got it to work thankfully. If you have the chat link cord, plug it in and then open the game capture software and set up analog audio. Then you start up obs/stream labs And the audio should come through. It all has to do with game capture. I would close the software before opening obs but i found out they both need to be open in order for the capture card to work correctly.

Thanks so much for posting this!! I just ordered a HD60S+ to use with my PS5 and MacBook Air. Do you know if the cable will plug directly into my MacBook Air? It’s a 2017 model, no HDMI ports. Or should I get an adapter?

[@CobraC_yt]

You just need a usb to power the elgato with laptop. Hdmi will run from ps5 to elgato and elgato to monitor

[@erosramirez1204]

I recommend getting a Usb c to usb C superspeed cable. 😃 there like $10

[@adamvaladez7073]

This really helped out a lot but I have like a 3-5 second delay from my PS4 to streamlabs. Do you have any tips that could help me that’s the only problem I have and the reason I haven’t started to stream.

[@letmegetachoppedcheese]

The reasoning is because the HD 60s will always have a delay 3-5 secs that’s why HD 60s + is so much better for mac and in general 0 to none input delay perfect for streaming but it’s pricey going for 200$

[@grisuchiller7595]

Been trying to figure this out for hours. I’ve done everything. My OBS looks slightly different and I have a HD60s+ but still. I have no idea at this point What the problem is. I have the chat link cable hooked up and the sound is going to my headset but not through the elgato

[@lukasgus8434]

This is seriously driving me insane. I have the m1 MacBook and it should not be this difficult to figure this out. I have the game capture elgato software and I’ve made those changes, the OBS link didn’t come up as downloadable when I chose HD60s + as my accessory and that’s one of the only differences

I think you need a second monitor. Because you haven't the instant game view in OBS or Elgato GameCapture softare. HD60S S = Stream, that means the instant GameView

[@CobraC_yt]

Hi Scufed! If you are trying to use it through a screen capture on Streamlabs it will be very choppy. Are you using NDI Source on Streamlabs which pulls OBS link?

[@TheDuerr236]

@@CobraC_yt not sure, I know for a fact that i have it as an NDI source on OBS link. I dont know if that helps answer your question. I can see my PS4 screen on OBS but when I pull it up on Game Capture HD t is all static and makes a high pitched noise.

[@CobraC_yt]

@@TheDuerr236 High pitched noise happen if you are charging you're controller while having the chat link connected. Laggy video on Game Capture may be because you' might be pushing too high of settings. Try 720p 30 frames and see if that works.

[@TheDuerr236]

@@CobraC_yt I tried but it still shows up as a green screen. I do not have a chat link connected. It says the elgato is receiving fewer frames than expected. It also mentions a dedicated GPU but I am not sure what that means. ??
