Facebetter OBS
macOS 13+ · Intel / Apple silicon · OBS Studio 28 or later

1. Install

1. Quit OBS completely (including OBS / Facebetter in the menu bar).
2. Double-click Facebetter-OBS-*-macos-universal.pkg.
3. Open OBS.

The plugin installs for the current user only.

If macOS says the package cannot be opened and offers Move to Trash, do not
move it to the Trash. This build is not Apple-notarized. Open System Settings
→ Privacy & Security, scroll to the blocked Facebetter installer, and click
Open Anyway. Or Control-click the pkg → Open.

2. Add the filter

1. Right-click the source you want to process (camera, image, or video).
2. Filters → + → Facebetter Beauty.
3. The Facebetter panel opens. Reopen it later from Tools → Facebetter.

3. Sign in

Click Sign in on the panel, finish login or sign-up in the browser,
then return to OBS.
Use Sign up on the panel if you do not have an account.

4. Free and paid

The free plan includes all effects. Output has a watermark.
To remove it: click Remove watermark in the banner, or open
Settings → Account, then subscribe at $8.99/month or $69/year.
Dismissing the banner only hides it until you restart OBS.

5. Everyday controls

- Header toggle: compare with / without beauty
- Source menu: one source, or All sources
- Reset: clear current parameters
- Language: follows OBS. Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, and German. Other languages use English
- Settings: open on startup, account, subscription

6. Plugin still missing

Use the Intel build of OBS on Intel Macs, and the Apple build on
Apple silicon. Quit OBS completely after installing.
The plugin should be here:

  ~/Library/Application Support/obs-studio/plugins/facebetter.plugin

If macOS says the plugin is damaged, paste this in Terminal and press Return:

  xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ~/Library/Application\ Support/obs-studio/plugins/facebetter.plugin

Then open OBS again.
