Download/install the obs-ndi plugin for your OS from - right now for Windows or macOS it's version 4.9.0 (expand the 'Assets' link). It should live in your systray (without doing anything useful yet).Ĥ. Run the NDI Virtual Input application installed in step 2. Again, only need 'NDI Virtual Input' app/component.ģ. dmg archive on Windows I assume it's an install wizard with checkboxes for each component. You only need the 'NDI Virtual Input' app on macOS each app had its own. Download/install NDI Tools for your OS from (note: system restart required). Run it, and set up a basic scene for testing (eg.
