How do I get Elgato OBS Link work again??

Update Catalina to 10.15.2 and OBS Studio to 24.0.5 (official release) and you'll be good to go with Elgato OBS Link again :)

Just a Help Note: If you start up 24.0.5 - which works brilliantly I might add, thanks folks - and you get a black screen even though you have sett the Screen Recording permission to on, I had to do this.
With OBS open, and the black screen showing, go to Permissions is System Preferences and UN-tick the Screen Recording box. It will warn you about not being able to capture the screen. but click ok anyway. That's ok. Then check the tick box again, and presto bumpo. There's your Screen Recording working. Lock the safety lock on the bottom left and quit preferences. Just to be on the safe side, close OBS and then open it again. IF you still get the Recording Screen warning behind the open OBS, you got the sequence wrong. It should be only a one off though.

Thanks for the hard work. I just downloaded and ran 24.0.5 and noticed that when adding a source the NDI Source no longer shows up.
Make sure you install the latest version of the NDI plugin here: https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.7.1

What is the NDI plugin? What’s it used for?

Just to comment that I'm having the same consistently. OBS is running great under Catalina except when any authentication screen requires data. Ironically, OBS just crashed when I signed up for the OBS forums. I entered my email in the sign up and OBS totally shuts down with the crash log to send to Apple. Otherwise, OBS is running great. I use Loopback to feed three audio sources into it and record one screen and running very smoothly. I just have to remember to close it before entering any authentication. Probably some security maybe in Catalina that is shutting down the "broadcasting" of my verification credentials. I mostly use OBS to screen record and little streaming. I am on 24.0.5 and still crashing with authentication. Will investigate further.

Thanks very much. I deeply appreciate all your and the team's efforts. That was the last issue with OBS. And, it was easy to work around.

I have an issue now (after updating to the newest version of obs) where my display captured video is super choppy. Like as soon as I hit record my cpu jumps crazy high and whatever i'm watching on my computer becomes very choppy, and is even more so in the recorded video afterward. This was not an issue in previous versions of obs

Try this, it's working for me. I compiled it from source and put together some instructions while we wait for an official release: https://github.com/ijaureguialzo/SceneSwitcher/releases

NDI Source is not showing up (anymore) in OBS Studio (see screenshot) so now I can't add my Nintendo Switch through my Elgato HD60 S.
I currently have:
- Latest version of OBS Studio (24.0.5)
- Latest version of OBS Link
- Latest NDI (4.7.1)
- Latest version of macOS Catalina
Good to know:
- I am using a Elgato HD60 S
- A couple of weeks ago the NDI Source did show up but after updating something it suddenly disappeared (but since I have been out for a while I can't remember what I updated exactly)
- I want to stream/record my Nintendo Switch
- I have no problems using Elgato's 'Game Capture HD' software
- I deleted all OBS software, restarted computer and reinstalled

Solved it, I apparently only downloaded the NDI Lib but not actually 4.7.1
For other people who have the same problem; make sure you download 4.7.1 from the bottom of the page, don't click on the 'download it here' link underneath macOS - https://github.com/Palakis/obs-ndi/releases/tag/4.7.1
