Hey @Ben vera - DAWs don't play well with Macs/OBS out of the box unfortunately. The best solution I've found is Loopback. It costs $99 but has a free trial so you can try it out beforehand. You can manage all of your inputs/outputs on Loopback directly. Here's the link: https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/

To integrate with OBS, make sure Loopback is running and set your "Desktop Audio Input" in your OBS preferences to "Loopback Audio Device".

I know others have had success using Soundflower to accomplish a similar result, which I believe is a free plugin. I've found Loopback to be well worth the cost and not nearly as buggy. Let me know if this works for you or if you still have issues.

Thank you! I will try soundflower tomorrow since it’s free
