Question / Help Game Capture doesn't exist?

[Awebud]

So I want to record Roblox for some YouTube related stuff, and after doing some basic research I knew I needed to make a game capture. So I go to add a source, and I look for the game capture button, but it just isn't there. Why is that? Are game captures a feature Mac users don't get to enjoy?

Windows only feature. Does not exist on MacOS, because the systems it depends on in Windows do not exist on MacOS.

A rough equivalent existed in the form of SyphonInject but it is also deprecated and does not function fully above 10.14 Mojave.

So then how would I set it up so that it records Discord audio and Roblox at the same time?

The audio has nothing to do with game capture existing vs not.
You need to do the ishowu audio procedure for audio.

I have already installed ishowu, and I have gotten it to where it can record audio when im watching a youtube video, but not with roblox for some reason.

You need to feed roblox's audio through ishowu to get OBS to be able to capture it.
Same for discord.

And how exactly do I do that?

Sorry about all these questions. I'm such a noob at obs lol.

Nothing special should be necessary. Roblox like most apps on MacOS should just be sending its audio to the default system device, which should be iShowU in your case.

Should be in your Audio tab in the Settings.

If they're getting YouTube video audio, that should be coming through iShowU. Unless they used a browser source for it.

Everyone here is saying it should, but it isn't. I think I'm doing something wrong and I'm getting discouraged over it.

Did you capture the YouTube video with a browser source?

Can you post a logfile?

Include a log file if you have a problem: here's how

Use Window Capture or Display Capture to capture the YouTube video. Then the audio source will come from iShowU. Do not use a browser source; that is for stream alerts (I believe) and other browser media that doesn't require audio. If you're going to record a browser, use Window Capture.
