Ah, very interesting. Those tricky privacy settings again.
Glad to hear all is well now. Well done.

Well, I’m still getting a strange? Error message popping up on startup about a permissions problem in a plush file. However, tap ok, it goes away, and all seems fine.
How stable it is I can’t say. I don’t do streaming.

You mean this test build? Yes. For me whenever you try to enter your password for a security reason (which happens a lot more on Catalina), OBS crashes. Also it doesn't currently work with the El Gato Stream Deck

FWIW I had only one crash on Catalina so far, but it was a severe one:
I started recording, switched a scene via the websockets plugin and then the whole screen froze with a corrupted image split in two halves. Could've been a graphics driver panic or something, but haven't been able to replicate it so far.
Apart from that crash, using multiple NDI sources, Logitech C922 webcam and multiple audio streams worked fine, including switching scenes all the time. I use my iMac for encoding only, so all the common issues with Syphon not being supported anymore and necessary loopbacks for desktop audio capture don't apply.
The log does report at least one memory leak during runtime though and there are other things that might by down to Qt or other Mac-specific idiosyncrasies that will take a longer time to fix.

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.
