Just wanted to let everyone know that 29.1 is out as well as a minor hotfix (29.1.1) to clear up a couple bugs we noticed on release.
If you didn't notice that 29.1 is out yet and you haven't had any update notices in the program, that's because we now have a rollout system (at least on Windows) to mi...

OBS Studio 28.1 is out! This minor update is centered primarily on NVENC, and features their new AV1 encoder as well as a general NVENC update to support the newer presets and features.
It's been no secret I've been pushing AV1. A few updates ago, I implemented the AOM and SVT software AV1 encoders as a proof of concept...

We just released 27.2.2 and 27.2.3, which fixes that nasty little preview freeze and stream disconnect, as well as a virtual camera issue on Windows. Let's briefly go into what the heck happened here, because quite frankly, I need to talk about this to somebody.
27.2.1 wasn't quite the end of the issues for 27.2. I'd so...

That was a crazy week. Let’s talk about what happened with 27.2 and what we happened this past week.
With the Windows version of 27.2, we updated all of our dependencies. A dependency is a library made from external source code; something which is not OBS source code, but that OBS depends upon for major functionality ...

27.2 is finally out (or more accurately, 27.2.1). What a crazy week. It was quite the adventure, involving likely driver bugs causing full system freezes, which we had to work around ourselves. With 27.2.1, those issues are now solved.
Within the next day or so I'm going to make a blog post on exactly what happened with...

Well after about seven weeks of testing, version 27.0 has finally been released. I usually really stress out every time we do a major release, but this time I was pretty surprised that I felt much less stressed out. I have to admit I was pretty concerned about potential issues, especially considering the fact that we basicall...

Version 24 has been released, and strangely, some of the hardest parts of the patch wasn't even so much our own code: it was dealing with dependencies, namely Chromium.
