Right click on the app > Open, then there should be an Open button you can click on.

I'm using your work-around and I have it installed and the app running. Unfortunately the Display Capture option isn't pulling up anything, says "null" in the drop down options. If I select Window Capture I can pull up by desktop background picture only.

Are you using the test build or are you running the normal build from the Terminal?

FYI, OBS is still randomly crashing after being open for a few minutes. I haven't found a pattern as to when it crashes. It happens both when I'm streaming and when I'm offline getting set up. Happens as little as a few second after launching and as long as 9-15 minutes after.

Here's the latest log after the most recent crash:

(see attached, I guess it's too long)

I am attempting to stream via a Logitech c920 camera. I'm not streaming my desktop (e.g. with Photoshop or gaming).

I had this problem, you need to manually allow OBS to record your screen. Goto > Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy tab and look for Screen Recording. Make sure OBS is ticked.

I opened up my preferences to check the Screen Recording permissions and OBS wasn't even listed. Is there a way to add it there manually or a way to trigger OBS to prompt to be added?

Logitech G Hub works on Catalina now as well. Really waiting for the working version now but
stability is obviously most important.

If you haven’t restarted, you may need to. An alternative is to go to OBS in Applications and the view package contents. Under macOS there is a obs exe terminal file. Run this and it should open up the permissions window or prompt you to.

That second option didn't work. It already asked for some permissions which I granted but it didn't change anything. I'll try a restart.

tried restarting etc, found only one exe terminal file, i cant figure out what im missing :( screenshot:

 

[PabDog]

I ran it from the screenshot below. That warned me about permissions and opened up the privacy window... second screenshot.

It might be worth uninstalling and rerunning from scratch with just the newest fix.

Once I had done that I then closed the OBS run through the terminal and opened it through the normal Application Icon and the <null> windows names disappeared and I got screen capture working.

The newest version of macOS, 10.15 "Catalina", is now available. However, OBS Studio is currently not yet fully compatible with it. These issues stem from a change to the way Catalina handles permissions for things such as capturing webcams and microphones. For example, if you have a webcam capture in one of your scenes, OBS will crash. We are currently working on a fix. In the meantime, if you have already upgraded to Catalina, you can restore most functionality by running OBS manually from the Terminal with the following command:

open /Applications/OBS.app/Contents/MacOS/OBS --args -picture

NOTE: When you run OBS from the Terminal this way, and attempt to add things such as webcam capture or display capture, the Terminal will ask for these permissions instead of OBS. If so, be sure to grant those permissions to the Terminal to ensure functionality in OBS.

UPDATE: We now have a test build available for people to try. Note that this build is not signed, and the updater may not work correctly, so you will likely need to manually download the full update later when it comes out. However, this should work for many of you at least as a stop-gap so you at least have something working. If you can't open OBS, right-click on the icon and click "Open", and the pop-up should have an "Open" option available to open the program anyway.

Note that the install process has changed. Now when you open the .dmg file, you simply need to drag the OBS.app file into your Applications folder to install.

You can download the test build here: http://obsproject.com/downloads/obs-24.0.3-installer-catalina-fix-02.dmg

I've download the test build version 24.0.3 and it's working audio and video capturing!!! The only additional set I had to do was granting access in the security & privacy / screen recording to OBS

Hi guys, have u noticed some lag/out of sync issues after the updating and the problems with Catalina? Do u know if the test version solves those things?

Thks in advance

 

[ToddT]

I'm at a loss. Uninstalled and reinstalled OBS. Ran it from the terminal EXE, it still doesn't ask for screen cap permissions and it still doesn't see windows outside of the OS UI.

Im wondering if there will be a fix to OBS anytime soon? I wish i never upgraded my damn MACbook Pro now.

I feel the same way. This issue has totally messed up my schedule.

Can you post a screen shot of what you see under your privacy tab in the privacy and security for screen recording?

you can also try creating a new user and installing obs on that user as a fresh install, making sure it’s installed in the main applications folder (not the username/applications). Then you can delete the user once it’s working

 

[Kmass]

I tried to run this and once its installed it ask for a update and then fails
