Originally, OBS didn’t offer native support for Mac desktop audio. This issue has been resolved with updates, though. Next, open the game you want to stream and take a look at the Sources menu. By default, OBS Studio will output the monitor audio to the default playback device. To change the monitoring output device, open the OBS Studio settings and click on the Audio tab. Find Monitoring Device and select the audio device that monitored audio will play back over.

Destiny 2 Game Capture
1. Why OBS or ShadowPlay is not recording Destiny 2
To help ensure that all the players can have fair and clean combat in Destiny 2, the producers of this game have limited attempts by third-party software to insert code to the game.
However, such restriction leads to incompatibility between Destiny 2 and some screen recording programs, like OBS, ShadowPlay, XSplit, and so on. So, none of these programs can be used to record the in-game frames.
The good news is that the producers have considered the users’ desire for recording the gaming performance and allow players to manually adjust the setting on the game to regain compatibility.
Here’s how you can modify the setting:
On your Destiny 2, go to your character sheet and open Settings, go to the Video tab.
Locate Window Mode, 4 options are listed:
- Choose Windowed, Windowed Fullscreen, or Borderless Windowed to enable your OBS to record the gameplay with OBS.
- Or, you can set Window Mode to Fullscreen so that you can record Destiny 2 with ShadowPlay.
Finishing the modification, we can start to record Destiny 2 with OBS or ShadowPlay now.
