Disclaimer: This is a test build, not a full release. Please ensure you make a backup of your scene collection and profile. This build may contain bugs or broken functionality. For production usage, we still recommend using the latest stable build of OBS. If you are willing to test this build, let us know if you run into any issues.
OBS Studio 32.0 Beta is now available for testing! This release comes with the addition of the long-requested Plugin Manager! Additionally, we now have automated crash log uploads for WIndows and macOS, new Voice Activity Detection and several optimizations for NVIDIA RTX Audio Effects, a chair removal option for NVIDIA RTX Background Removal, and hybrid MOV support. We have also updated our Game Capture hook signature on Windows, which should hopefully correct issues with Riot's games, such as Valorant. See the full list of changes below, and bug fixes at the full release notes.
To enable the beta version, either download from the GitHub link below, or on Windows/macOS go to Settings -> General and change the Update Channel to Betas / Release Candidates
