Hi I received this error on an intel Mac when trying to install it. “MasterLevelMeter.plugin” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software." What should I do to fix it?

I'm sorry, but since I haven't registered as an Apple developer, I suppose that's why I'm encountering security issues.

Troubleshooting on macOS: "Plugin cannot be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software"

When you install MasterLevelMeter.plugin on macOS, you may see a warning such as:

“MasterLevelMeter.plugin” can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software.

This happens because the plugin is not signed with the Apple Developer Program.
It is safe to use if you trust the source. Follow these steps to allow the plugin:

1.Install the plugin

2.Launch OBS
*The plugin will be blocked by macOS and you will see a warning dialog.
Close the dialog with OK.

3.Allow the plugin in System Settings
Open System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Scroll down until you see a message like:
“MasterLevelMeter.plugin was blocked because it is not from an identified developer.”

Click Allow Anyway.

4.Restart OBS
The next time you launch OBS, you will be asked if you really want to open the plugin.
Click Open. From now on, the plugin will load automatically.

Thank You it worked! It's funny I figured it was something like that and I went to system preferences like I've done for other software, but it didn't show up until you told me to go a little further.
