Add Spotify To Obs Mac

Head back to Settings – Audio in OBS and take a look at the Advanced section. It has a drop-down from which you can select the device you want to listen in with. Select as appropriate, then hit Apply and OBS will monitor with that device (even when you’re already live or recording). Next, open OBS, click on the Add a new Source, and choose Browser Source: Finally, enter in the URL in the URL box on the popup screen, change the Width of the Source to 350, and Height to 100, and save the new Source. You can now drag your new Spotify Now Playing widget to anywhere on your Scene.

Use the app to play music files stored on your device, which we call local files.

Supported file types

Note: Some of your files may be protected in restricted formats. Install QuickTime on your computer to allow most of these tracks to be played on Spotify.

.mp3
.m4p (unless it contains video)
.mp4 (if QuickTime is installed on your computer)

The iTunes lossless format (M4A) isn't supported.

If your file isn’t supported, we do our best to match it with songs from the Spotify catalog. The version we match with might differ from the original.
