I had the same problem with my MacBook Pro, but now NDI appears. I instaled an older version of OBS, especificly the 25.0.5 version , then I did this:
1.Download and run obs-ndi-4.9.0-macOS.pkg (provided below)
2.Install the NDI 4.5.1 macOS runtime using the installer provided here:
https://ndi.palakis.fr/runtime/ndi-runtime-4.5.1-macOS.pkg
Link to download obs-ndi 4.9.0 :
https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.9.0
Hope it can help you guys.
I tried following every instruction carefully, from multiple sources, including what you have here JayLazar, but NDI still doesn't show up in the tools menu.
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe
