I think some people reading this thread might lose the forest for the trees. If you have logfiles from your existing streams it may help to post them to see how well it is performing, what adjustments you might make, and what you might expect to see by switching to one of the above machines.įYI, just because a Mac isn't ideal for streaming doesn't mean you shouldn't use it for streaming. If you are seriously considering that route I might do some testing and post it here. I actually have the above Mini available to me, but I have not attempted to stream with it.

Some features already in Mojave do not work.Īs a lifelong Mac user and Apple shareholder, it is my great disappointment that I suggest that people use a Mac for streaming if they have no other choice, but to consider moving to Ubuntu or Windows 10 if they want to use OBS to its full potential. The way forward for OBS, if any, is completely unclear on Mojave and afterwards. Lastly, OBS depends on OpenGL on MacOS, which Apple is in the process of deprecating in favor of their own graphics API, Metal. Not sure about the MacBook, probably you can.
The above mini might be able to use the "Apple VT Hardware Encoder" which is the equivalent of QuickSync except it doesn't perform as well. It has nothing to do with the hardware, the APIs just don't exist on MacOS for OBS to use. Money spent on that will probably make you happier than anything else in this equation. You would be better off replacing that device and using it directly in OBS before spending any other money on upgrading the computer. There is no point in buying any of the above Mac hardware and then intending it to use with window capturing the Elgato software. Magewell, AJA, and Blackmagic make capture cards and devices that work with OBS on MacOS. If you have to use a Mac, ditch the Elgato and get another capture device. (By that I don't mean the particular Mac you have- I mean the question of using a Mac for streaming is almost always about taking a Mac you have and doing what you can with it- not choosing a Mac as a machine whose primary duty is streaming, because there is no good choice in that area).Īs a person who has and does stream and record with OBS on MacOS, Windows and Linux, I would not recommend buying a current Mac for streaming or recording with OBS. You do what you can with it and work around the limitations. The best Mac for streaming is the one you have. Thanks in advance for your feedback guys!!Įdit: I'm also streaming + 2x recording the OBS content at the same time (1x recording with overlay and 1x recording just the gameplay).

However I want you guys to try to answer me my actual question: Which Mac is the best one for streaming? Since we use a Elgato Game Capture and Elgato does not provide drivers we have to screen record the Elgato content from the Elgato Mac App which is kinda annoying and probably uses a lot of GPU power (not sure about that). I mean there were no big lags as long as I did not anything else than streaming on the Mac but I was surprised tho. Last times I was using a Mac Pro 2013 (ME253LL/A) and noticed that the Mac began to "sweat" already. We stream some of our games at Twitch and I take care about that.
