Question / Help Plugins for OBS on Mac?

[justinmcquerry]

Hello!

Are plugins now supported for OBS on Mac? If so, where do I find/place my plugins folder?

Thank you for any and all help!

Hi, did you find an answer? Were you able to add the plug-in?

I can add the plugins into the application resource, which then gets deleted every time the app is updated.
Is there someplace else to put them so I don't have to remember to get them out before the automatic update?
