※ To ensure successful installation, please install the Windows version in the default C drive > obs-studio folder (do not place it in a subfolder under obs-studio). This will prevent abnormal paths from causing OBS to fail to automatically detect the installation directory and affecting the installation process.
※ If your computer is running macOS, please make sure to drag the OBS icon into the “Applications” folder during installation; otherwise, the plugin will not be displayed properly.
⒊ After closing and restarting the OBS software, you can begin using the plug-in features.
