Struggling with Scrolling Text in OBS Studio on Mac: A Streamer's Frustration

As a streamer, I've encountered several issues while trying to use scrolling text in OBS Studio on my Mac. Despite being a popular tool for many live streamers, it seems like there are some significant problems that need to be addressed.

One of the main challenges I face is logging into Google accounts through OBS browser. For some reason, my Google account doesn't register when I try to access it through the browser. This makes it difficult for me to access certain features and settings within the software.

Another issue I've noticed is that the text displayed on screen doesn't always match what's being said by my computer. It seems like there's a delay between when new text is typed in and when it appears on the website. This can be frustrating, especially when trying to keep track of stream time length.

To combat this issue, I've set up a system that displays the most recently typed-in text as well as has my synthesized voice read it out loud to me. However, there's a problem with full-screen mode (also known as kinekasting). When I try to broadcast in full-screen mode, my computer can't tap into non-hotspot bandwidth.

This is a significant limitation for me, as I only have 5 megabits inbound and outbound bandwidth available. This means that I'm limited to broadcasting at a certain speed, which isn't ideal for high-quality streams. My cell phone, on the other hand, has a much faster connection speed, but it's not compatible with my Nintendo Switch and Xboxes online gaming.

My technique is centered around using synthesized voice output to read out text in real-time, but this setup has its own set of limitations. As someone who relies on social security disability benefits, making money on Twitch can be a risk due to the potential loss of these benefits.

In conclusion, while OBS Studio is a powerful tool for live streaming, there are some significant issues that need to be addressed, particularly when it comes to scrolling text and full-screen mode. I hope that by sharing my experience, others may find ways to work around these limitations and improve their own streaming setup.
