OBS Studio 32.1, a suite for streaming, compositing and video recording, has been released. The code is written in C/C++ and distributed under the GPLv2 license. Assemblies are generated for Linux (flatpak), Windows and macOS.
The goal of OBS Studio development was to create a portable version of the Open Broadcaster Software (OBS Classic) application, not tied to the Windows platform, supporting OpenGL and extendable through plugins. Another difference is the use of a modular architecture, which implies separation of the interface and the core of the program. Transcoding of source streams, video capture during games and streaming to PeerTube, Twitch, Facebook Gaming, YouTube, DailyMotion and other services are supported. To ensure high performance, it is possible to use hardware acceleration mechanisms (for example, NVENC, Intel QSV, Apple Video Toolbox and VAAPI).
Support is provided for compositing with building a scene based on arbitrary video streams, data from web cameras, video capture cards, images, text, the contents of application windows or the entire screen. During the broadcast, switching between several predefined scene options is allowed (for example, to switch views with an emphasis on the screen content and the image from the webcam). The program also provides tools for audio mixing, filtering with VST plugins, volume leveling and noise suppression.
Key changes:
- Added a new interface for audio mixing (Audio Mixer).
- Added support for Simulcast via WebRTC.
- Added support for undoing/redoing changes for operations such as blending and deinterlacing modes.
- obs-websocket has added initial support for working with Canvases—objects that contain scenes and define methods for rendering them.
- The Browser Source has improved security for working with local files.
- The plugin manager now allows you to enable/disable missing plugins.
- Animation in the panel is disabled.
- Default bitrate changed to 6000 kbps.
