Can the MacBook Pro (14-inch, M5, 2025) run OBS Studio?
Not judged
Not judged — we don't have enough verified information to say whether the MacBook Pro (14-inch, M5, 2025) can run OBS Studio. This is not a "no".
Nothing we can verify rules it out, but we can’t confirm it either. Each component below says which information is missing — compare those requirements with your own laptop’s configuration. We don’t guess.
Component by component (minimum)
CPU
This laptop: not determined · Required: Intel or Apple Silicon CPU on Mac; CPU load varies with encoder, resolution, FPS and scene
Why not judged: There is no verified way to compare processors by name, so the CPU is shown for reference but not marked as meeting or missing the requirement.
GPU
This laptop: not determined · Required: Windows: DirectX 10.1 compatible GPU. Mac: OpenGL 3.3-compatible GPU
Why not judged: There is no verified way to compare graphics chips by name, so the GPU is shown for reference but not marked as meeting or missing the requirement.
RAM
This laptop: not determined · Required: not specified
Why not judged: The publisher's requirements don't specify the RAM.
Storage
This laptop: not determined · Required: not specified
Why not judged: The publisher's requirements don't specify the storage.
Operating system
This laptop: macOS · Required: Windows 10 or Windows 11; or macOS 11 ("Big Sur") or later
Why not judged: The publisher's platform listing doesn't name a single operating system, so we can't match it to this laptop.
“Not judged” means we lack verified information for that component. It never means the laptop fails it.

The laptop’s figures come from its verified specification page. Requirements are the publisher’s and can change. This compares the laptop with the publisher’s listed native requirements — it does not account for emulation, translation layers or cloud gaming. See how we verify the specs.
