As of an update released yesterday, the creators behind Open Broadcaster Software have introduced "OBS MultiPlatform." In its initial release, MultiPlatform is only available for Mac, but Windows and Linux versions are advertised as "coming soon." The current iteration requires OSX 10.8 or above.

 

OBS MultiPlatform is still very early. Bug and crash reports are popping up with frequency on the OBS forums, and currently users need to turn to other software, such as Wavtap or Soundflower, in order to capture desktop audio.

 

So it's buggy, but hey, it's there! Knowing the OBS team, I'm sure they'll work out the bugs soon enough. Anyways, now all of you Mac and Linux gamers can use the popular open source streaming software to stream your favorite games to Twitch and other streaming websites.

(As a side note, I'm extremely glad to see that the OBS team is now supporting Linux, since the Linux library of games is growing rapidly.)
