Luckily for you OBS Studio just needs one simple plugin for Windows or Mac, available here and then you have NDI built into OBS. OBS NDI Source Select All you need to do to take advantage is install the latest version, add a new source and then look for ‘NDI Source’ as a source in the dropdown. The file you download is an installer, “NewTek NDI Tools.exe”. Run the installer and follow the onscreen instructions to install the NDI Tools to your chosen system. Once installation is complete, the tools present on your system include the NewTek NDI VLC Plugin.

Only use this release with OBS 24 or above!

Changes since 4.7.0

Windows installer: the NDI runtime installation is now a separate component that can be disabled if you don't want the runtime automatically installed
macOS: fixes for OBS Studio 24.0.3 and Catalina compatibility

Install instructions

Windows

Using the installer (recommended) : download it, launch it and follow the instructions.
Using the obs-ndi-4.7.1-Windows.zip archive : copy the contents of the archive to the root of your OBS Studio installation folder, and download and install the NDI 4.0+ Runtime if you haven't already.

On Windows, you must reboot your computer to make a new or updated NDI Runtime installation effective

Ubuntu/Debian

Manual install (64-bit only): Download libndi3_4.0.0-1_amd64.deb and obs-ndi_4.7.1-1_amd64.deb, and install them on your system.
PPA: not yet available

macOS

Download and run obs-ndi-4.7.1-macOS.pkg. This will install both the plugin and the NDI 4.0+ Runtime. On macOS Catalina (or if it doesn't install the NDI runtime automatically), you'll have to download and install the NDI runtime manually: download it here.
Note: the installer package is digitally signed, so macOS shouldn't complain. However, if it is the case and a security alert pops up when trying to launch the installer, go to the 'Security & Privacy' panel in OS X Settings and click 'Open Anyway'.

Bug fixes

Ndi Plugin Obs Windows

Bugfix: The NDI Output Settings dialog wasn't always showing text input fields for the Program & Preview output names (#373)
Bugfix: NDI runtime download issues on Windows. The obs-ndi installer now downloads the runtime from a mirror I manage to prevent download errors that cause failed installs (#140)
A myriad of macOS bugfixes:
- The plugin wasn't loading because of a problem with how macOS looks for plugin dependencies (#409)
- With NDI 4.5 installed on the system, obs-ndi 4.7.1 would crash. This is now fixed with the addition of NDI 4.5 support.
- The obs-ndi installer could fail to download the NDI runtime because of download server issues, or could fail to install it because it is not digitally signed. This step has been removed. macOS users now have to download & install the NDI 4.5 runtime separately (links provided on the Download page).
- In addition to being digitally signed, the obs-ndi installer is now also notarized by Apple. This should eliminate 'malicious software' errors on Catalina.
