Another question we were asked a lot during #gamescom was "How do we support OBS?" Everyone knows that OBS is free but not HOW it is free. At it's core, it is a philosophical choice. OBS is open source, the code is available to everyone (with conditions).

In OBS Studio 32.1 we updated the audio mixer and simplified audio monitoring. In 32.2 we removed the old options from the advanced audio properties. In 33.0 plugins and third party tools will require updates to use the new handling. You can still get the same results as before though! 👇

An image displaying an enlarged view of the new OBS Studio audio mixer buttons for muting and monitoring. The left speaker icon is labeled 'Output'. The right speaker icon is labeled 'You'.

Three images below depict the visual state of these buttons when set to match the old monitoring dropdown options of 'Monitoring Off', 'Monitor Only', and 'Monitor and Output'.

The new Add Source window includes previews for active sources and a Recently Created tab, making it easier than ever to set up new scenes or find that one video file you know you already added somewhere. Preview updates are staggered and cached when possible for efficiency.

Next release we're aiming to update the workflow for adding sources by replacing the popup menu with a new window, which includes previews. We are looking for more users to test this update and provide us feedback. Visit our Discord to try it out and share your thoughts early!

A screenshot of the new OBS Studio add source dialog. The dialog shows a list of source types in the left sidebar, and thumbnails for all existing sources of the selected type in the right pane.

New Additions - Pinning sources - Toggle of hidden sources - Toggle showing inactive sources - Previewed sources in Studio Mode This rewrite also means future updates are easier. Support for sorting the mixer is planned.

Both the vertical and horizontal mixer layouts have been updated, and vertical is now the default. Note: Due to how OBS saves default settings (It doesn't), if you've never changed layouts your UI will get swapped to vertical. Horizontal is still available!

A screenshot of the new OBS Studio audio mixer. Six audio meters are shown in vertical orientation and arranged in a row. New category labels appear above each entry indicating their grouping status. The first two are Global, followed by three Active, and finally one Inactive.

The meters of the audible sources are in color. The ones that are muted or inactive are greyscale.

Two buttons are shown below the meters. A speaker icon for toggling the muted state for each entry. A headphone icon for toggling audio monitoring for each entry.

New users will start with better default settings! Our crash resistant Hybrid MP4 video container (Hybrid MOV on macOS) is now the default recording format. We also decided it's probably safe to bump up the default streaming bitrate to 6000 after being set to 2500 since 2015.

NVIDIA Broadcast integration in OBS has received several updates! RTX Background Removal now has support for chair detection and removal, a new Voice Activity Detection option was added for audio devices, and several optimizations have been made.

As part of these updates to crash handling, we've removed the ability to disable the clean shutdown check. This has already provided us a LOT of information about crashes we weren't aware of before and situations where it was showing up incorrectly that we will be fixing.

OBS Project @obsproject.com · 26/09/2025

Our crash handler has been reworked on Windows and macOS, including an addition to the startup prompt to upload crash logs to us after a crash so we can fix them! We can only fix crashes we know about, so we hope this makes it easier for people to send them to us!
