OBS Studio 32.1 is now available!
Alongside the usual tweaks and fixes, this release continues our steady work tidying up the codebase.
This release features a complete rewrite of the Audio Mixer, cleaning up code, and adding new functionality.
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!
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.

Some accounts on our forum were recently compromised due to password re-use and used to post malware.
Please review this list to see if you may have been affected, as well as our other changes in response to this.
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!

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.
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.
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.
