Hi @hegdesrinivasm and welcome to the Manjaro community.

Did you install OBS from the official Manjaro repo?

sudo pacman -S obs-studio

Are you using Wayland?

bbs.archlinux.org - [SOLVED] OBS Studio cannot open on KDE wayland

I forgot to install qt6-wayland

OBS Studio is using Qt6 now. the wiki page may also need to change a bit

stackoverflow.com - qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin “wayland”

as of 2023 Dec, OBS just moved to qt6 , so installing , any packages related to qt5 will not have any effect , install the qt6-wayland package to solve this issue
