Hi all. I am working on a university theater production that has moved online due to the pandemic. Our goal is to have the actors on Zoom, capture that feed in OBS, and then pass that onto YouTube. We’ve seen this done and it seems to work fine.
I am aware that Apple broke the siphon feed in Mojave. So game feed no longer works like it does on PC. So I used application window capture, and everything started working...except for the massive lag between video and audio. (Audio arrives first.) I played with a lot of settings, auto configure wizard, copying recommended settings from YT, etc. it was unusable. Hardware was a brand new MacBook Pro 16” with 16 GB system ram, discrete video card, etc on LAN. Catalina is the OS.
Switched to wife’s 2-year old PC (HP Envy, 16 gb system ram, not sure about discrete video card). Win10. USB3 LAN adapter. Game capture gave me a frozen image, so I just application window capture again, like on the Mac.
This took care of the lag issue.
What am I doing wrong? I see PC has a couple of extra advanced video settings in zoom, but otherwise all else is the same. I could see in OBS that the lag was in my preview - zoom itself was not lagging.
So, any ideas on how to deal with this on the Mac?
