This is a handy tool I have been using on the live streams for the past couple of months. It's a zero latency plugin for optimizing sound for live streams.
Master Me: https://github.com/trummerschlunk/master_me
Plugin Formats: CLAP, VST, VST3, AU, LV2.
Standalone: Jack.
The default settings in easy mode will be better than nothing. I use it in advance mode as a Reaper plugin with everything disabled but the leveler. Setting that to 40% with a target of -18 LUFS yields good results if you feed it into a limiter.
You should be able to use the VST plugin with OBS, but I still need to try that out.
Easy mode is a two option ordeal. Select podcast or YouTube and set the level.
Advanced has a bunch of sliders to play with.

Another one for consideration is Autogain Mono from LSP.
This plugin provides automatic gain control tools that support loudness matching according to the ITU-R BS.1770-4 recommendation.
It's quite brutal compared to master_me in the sense that it will achieve levels by any means necessary. This can cause abrupt volume swings even with lookahead enabled.
