macOS Tahoe - Performance Issues

Hello,

After upgrading my laptop to M4 MacBook Air it's impossible for me to use OBS. Even opening the app makes the laptop almost unusable due to the slowness and performance issues. When trying to record, the problem escalates 10 times. I don't have any error messages or anything to share cause there is no errors. I can share my OBS settings if there's a need, for now here are my specs:

I'm using macOS Tahoe 26.0
- Regular M4 processor for MacBook Air
- 24 GB Ram
- 512 GB disk space

Can please someone tell me what's happening? On my old Windows 11 laptop there is no issues whatsoever...

I have the same issue! M2 Pro Macbook Pro. Launching OBS also seems to break transparency on my menu bar (hover menu is instead blacked out), in case that may help identifying the root problem.
