I am getting this message: Failed to initialize video. Your GPU may not be supported or your graphics driver may need to be updated. Help!?!
I bought the MacBook a couple of weeks ago.

1. Realize that there isn't native M1 support yet (due to other required software not being available for OBS to leverage) upon M1s release. Last note I saw was the intent is for OBS v28 will have native M1 support. OBS will still run, but in emulation mode.

Was this an upgrade? ie move setting over from old MacBook? or fresh OS and fresh OBS install? Did you change some OBS settings after initial install?

It was a fresh install. it was working well in the beginning the it froze. When I restarted it the error message came up.
