Download the signed macOS PKG for Apple Silicon macOS 15+. Its Developer ID Installer identity is WeMakeSense LLC (T39RXSKKZ6); notarization and a stapled ticket are verified. The commands above check the exact package checksum, signing identity and Gatekeeper before opening Installer. Package checksums · Build provenance.
Finish Installer, then run the setup below as your regular user. Install Apple Silicon Homebrew at /opt/homebrew first. Runtime setup requires network access and compatible Python 3.11-3.13 bindings; do not run Homebrew, setup or Broadcast with sudo.
Use /usr/local/bin/nvbroadcast so an older source launcher cannot shadow the package. CPU processing is supported; CoreML acceleration is not qualified. OBS Studio provides virtual-camera output: open it once, start and stop Virtual Camera, then close OBS. The proprietary Camera Extension prototype is not installed by this PKG.
Microphone recording, Mic Test and microphone-only Meeting are supported; system-audio loopback and processed virtual-microphone output are unavailable on macOS. Package setup and acceptance details. Intel macOS and Homebrew runtime setup on macOS 13/14 remain unsupported. Existing source installations remain separate; see the source installation instructions.
If you like NV Broadcast and want to help me keep building at this pace, feel free to sponsor my work. Your support gives me more time to improve effects and performance, resolve difficult bugs, and test releases across real systems. Support is optional, and core features remain open source.
