      To all my MacOS followers out there. Something fun dropped today from @elgato.com. The Marketplace Connect OBS plugin is now MacOS compatible (public beta available now). Please give it a try and let me know what you think! Grab it from the beta downloads page: www.elgato.com/us/en/s/beta
      Screen shot of the Marketplace Connect for OBS, 2.5 Beta download page, with MacOS compatibility.  Shows the Marketplace Connect logo, a screen shot, a download button/learn more, and the requirements of macOS Sonoma 14.2 or later.
