Elgato Full Year And
Elgato Drivers For Mac
Elgato Update The Video

It got really good reviews, and I also asked streamers that had good quality streams what they used.

What I didnt realize is that support for the HD60 on Mac computers is limited.

Elgato Drivers For Mac

They dont write the drivers for Mac so you cant capture the stream directly for use with OBS.

In most cases you will be relegated to using the Game Capture HD software with this device.

With the beta software you can set up a webcam and a few overlays on your stream.

You cannot setup Twitch notifications, or any of the other cool integrations you can have with OBS.

If you use window capture I found that it works but, the video in my Twitch stream was rickety.

For example, if a character turns his head the movement wouldnt be smooth.

If you try to use display capture youll have to have a high resolution or a big screen so you can separate the OBS screen from the Game Capture Screen.

This is because display capture captures everything in a certain area, if you have any overlap with OBS you get an infinity effect.

The stable version of the software has major video quality issues.

Ive tried the beta versions but they have issues too, which Ill describe.

I play Splatoon and its completely unusable for that.

Elgato Update The Video

Since the 10.11.5 update the video has been broken for streaming and recording, this version is no longer usable).

The audio is robotic and broken up.

Elgato Full Year And

Game capture HD still has the same exact issues it did a full year and 3 months ago.

Based on my testing, the issue is with their software, but Elgato support personnel continue to pin the issue to my computer.

So, based on all of this I would say if you have a Mac you may want to look for another streaming card, at least to stream on a service like Twitch.

You may want to look into the AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable 2.

Update October 2017: Avermedia does have drivers for Mac now and OBS can be used.

My experience range from hardware to software and networking.
