Specifications

OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster) is a free and open source software for video recording and live streaming. It features high-performance real-time video/audio capturing and mixing with unlimited scenes you can switch seamlessly via custom transitions. Filters for video sources are available, including image masking, color correction, chroma/color keying, an intuitive audio mixer with filter functions such as noise gate, noise suppression, and gain can improve the quality.

OBS Studio is equipped with a powerful API, enabling plugins and scripts to provide further customization and functionality specific to your needs. Utilize native plugins for high performance integrations or scripts written with Lua or Python that interface with existing sources. Work with developers in the streaming community to get the features you need with endless possibilities.

Open Broadcaster supports all your favorite streaming platforms and more.

OBS Studio Features:

High performance real time video/audio capturing and mixing. Create scenes made up of multiple sources including window captures, images, text, browser windows, webcams, capture cards and more.
Set up an unlimited number of scenes you can switch between seamlessly via custom transitions.
Intuitive audio mixer with per-source filters such as noise gate, noise suppression, and gain. Take full control with VST plugin support.
Powerful and easy to use configuration options. Add new Sources, duplicate existing ones, and adjust their properties effortlessly.
Streamlined Settings panel gives you access to a wide array of configuration options to tweak every aspect of your broadcast or recording.
Modular ‘Dock’ UI allows you to rearrange the layout exactly as you like. You can even pop out each individual Dock to its own window.

Create Professional Productions

Choose from a number of different and customizable transitions for when you switch between your scenes or add your own stinger video files.
Set hotkeys for nearly every sort of action, such as switching between scenes, starting/stopping streams or recordings, muting audio sources, push to talk, and more.
Studio Mode lets you preview your scenes and sources before pushing them live. Adjust your scenes and sources or create new ones and ensure they’re perfect before your viewers ever see them.

Changes in OBS Studio 30.2.2:

Fixed an issue that caused the Windows updater to repeatedly notify users that an update was available even after updating to 30.2.1 [RytoEX]

Changes in OBS Studio 30.2.1:

Fixed a possible crash when loading scene data [norihiro/notr1ch]
Fixed an issue with CoreAudio AAC timestamps causing a stream to fail [derrod]
Fixed an issue with obs-websocket not reading Virtual Camera availability correctly [tt2468]
Fixed an issue with obs-websocket settings not saving correctly [tt2468]
Fixed an issue causing the legacy AMF encoder to no longer be available after updating OBS [derrod]
Fixed an issue where attempting to run OBS with the OpenGL renderer on Windows would fail [kkartaltepe]
- Note: The OpenGL renderer is unsupported on Windows. When running OBS on Windows, the Direct3D 11 renderer is faster and more efficient than the OpenGL renderer. The OBS renderer can be changed to Direct3D 11 in Settings → Advanced → Video.
Fixed read-only QTextEdit background color [Warchamp7]
Fixed source tree icon spacing [Warchamp7]
Adjusted sizing of Classic audio meter elements [Warchamp7]

Changes in OBS Studio 30.2:

Added support for Multitrack Video streaming [palana]
- On Twitch, this is known as Enhanced Broadcasting. Currently, this requires Windows and an NVIDIA GPU. Support for other platforms and GPU vendors is planned.
- When this feature is enabled, the following data about your system will be sent to the streaming service when starting a stream:
  - OBS config info (canvas width and height, frame rate, encoder width and height, VOD Audio Track setting, OBS version)
  - CPU info (name, speed, core counts)
  - GPU info (model, memory, driver version, device ID, vendor ID)
  - Memory info (free, total)
  - OS info (name, version, arch, emulation)
    - Windows info (gaming feature status: Game Bar, Game DVR, Game Mode, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling)
  - Multitrack Video settings (maximum streaming bandwidth, maximum video tracks)
Added support for Enhanced RTMP/FLV multi-track audio and video [palana/kc5nra]
- Replaces the old metadata-based “VOD Track”
Added “Hybrid MP4” output format (BETA) [derrod]
- Combines fault-tolerance of fragmented MP4 with wide compatibility and faster access times of regular MP4.
- Supports inserting chapter markers into the file via a hotkey or API. These markers are supported by most video players and editing software, such as DaVinci Resolve
Added Linux support to the native NVENC encoder [derrod]
- NVENC AV1 is now supported on Linux
Added Linux shared texture support to the NVENC encoder [derrod]
Added Linux shared texture support to the QuickSync encoder [kkartaltepe]
Added Linux shared texture support to the VA-API encoder [nowrep]
Added HEVC support to WebRTC output [murillo128]
Added Composable Themes system to simplify theme creation, maintenance, and enable future customisation options [derrod/Warchamp7]
- Themes now consist of a base theme and variants that can be switched between in the new “Appearance” settings tab
- Old themes will no longer work and will need to be updated to the new system.

Changes

Various UI and Theme tweaks [Warchamp7]
Audio of multiple instances of a source in a scene/group is now deduplicated [derrod]
- Deduplication is recursive, but does not apply on groups or nested scenes that are currently playing show/hide transitions, this may be fixed in the future
Scene Collection specific plugin data is now retained for plugins that are not currently loaded [derrod]
Closed-captions are now supported for HEVC and AV1 [jhnbwrs]
Qt Fusion style is now always enforced on Linux [tytan652]

Improved freetype2 text source performance [kkartaltepe]
File open dialogs now start in the directory of the currently selected file, rather than the default [Warchamp7]
