How to Download and Install OBSBOT Center Correctly

1. Identify Your Mac's Chip Architecture

Before installing OBSBOT Center on your Apple computer, it's crucial to identify the chip architecture to download the appropriate software version. Here's how you can check:

• Click the Apple menu at the top-left of your screen.
• Select "About This Mac".
• In the "Overview" tab, look for "Processor" or "Chip" to see if it's labeled "Intel" or "Apple".

2. Download OBSBOT Center

Navigate to the official download page, locate the correct version of OBSBOT Center based on your chip architecture, and click the corresponding button. Wait for the installation package to finish downloading.

3. Install OBSBOT Center

• Once the download is complete, find the .dmg file (named like OBSBOT_Center_X.X.X.dmg) in your Downloads folder (or your custom download location).

• Double-click the .dmg file to mount the virtual disk. A pop-up window (with the "OBSBOT Center" app icon and "Applications" folder shortcut) will appear automatically.
• Click and hold the "OBSBOT Center" app icon, then drag it onto the "Applications" folder icon. 

• Note: DO NOT double-click the "OBSBOT Center" app icon in the window directly. This only launches the app temporarily from the virtual disk, and some features may not function properly.
• After installation, be sure to find "OBSBOT Center" in "Locations", and click the arrow on the right to eject the package mounted on the disk.

4. Launch OBSBOT Center

Once installed, you can launch the app from Launchpad or your local "Applications" folder.

• From Launchpad: Click the "Launchpad" icon in the Dock, then find and click the "OBSBOT Center" app icon.

• From Local Applications folder: Open "Finder", click "Applications" in the left sidebar, locate the "OBSBOT Center" icon, and double-click it.
