OBS/Python/Zoom and Follow/macOS - configure Python and Zoom and Follow script with OBS on macOS.
How to install Python on macOS and configure it with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software - https://obsproject.com/) so that we can use the Zoom and Follow Python script (https://github.com/tryptech/obs-zoom-...) by @tryptech. The Zoom and Follow Python script is a must-have for OBS users. This script allows you to zoom in and out of your OBS screen to accentuate small screen details while recording. The installation and configuration on macOS is different from on PCs and can be a little tricky. This video will hopefully help macOS users sort out the details.
