- 28.0: 10-bit and HDR Video Encoding Support
- OBS now supports 10-bit and HDR, courtesy of rcdrone, YouTube, and Luxoft. New color format and color space settings have been added in the advanced settings to allow this.
- Important notes about HDR and 10-bit:
- HDR and 10-bit can only be encoded with AV1 and HEVC encoders.
- 10-bit HEVC encoding requires NVIDIA 10-series, AMD 5000 series, or newer GPU. Intel QuickSync and Apple VT are not yet supported.

- Fixed a crash that could occur when using secure input fields on macOS. Because of a likely bug with macOS Catalina that was causing this crash, if you use secure input while using OBS, external hotkeys will no longer function for the duration of the program, so if you use hotkeys with OBS, we do not recommend using secure input while using OBS. (This is a temporary fix to the crash because the only way to fully work around it is likely rewriting the entire macOS hotkey system to a different hotkey-capturing method)

- Added a new capture method to window capture which allows capturing browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs [jpark37]
- By default, it will use "Automatic", which will use the normal method on most windows, and the new method on browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs
- The downside of the new method is that it can cause a bit of cursor lag, as well as a highlighted border around the captured window. The border itself does not get captured, however.
- You can choose which capture method to use in window capture properties

- When running OBS as administrator, games will now be much less likely to cause lag to the video of OBS (we will eventually get this improvement working without requiring administrator, currently this does not work unless OBS is running as administrator)

Official source: release notes.

- 24.0.1 Hotfix
- Browser sources will now have their pre-24.0 audio behavior by default; to use OBS to control the browser source audio, users must now use the "Control Audio via OBS" option in the browser source properties.

- Fixed a crash on startup
- Fixed a crash that would happen when closing the Mixer chat window
- 24.0 New Features

- Added the ability to create custom browser docks in the View -> Docks menu. This allows you to open extra dockable webpages whenever OBS opens [Jim]

- Added a script to pause recording when a specific scene is active [cg2121]

(Author note: I managed to get browser panels functioning, but they still have some issues, so service integration is still not yet available on macOS)

- 22.0.1 Hotfix
- Fixed a bug where the browser source wouldn't read local files properly
- 22.0 General Changes
- Major improvements to the browser source:
- Added hardware acceleration to the browser source on Windows for greatly improved performance, reduced resources, and allowing advanced rendering functionality such as WebGL. This reduces CPU usage, reduces RAM usage, and even reduces GPU usage. This option is enabled by default; it can be disabled in the advanced section of settings if needed if there are any unexpected issues.
- Updated to Chromium version 68
- Refactored the entire plugin and pruned approximately 13,000 lines of code (very satisfying for me in particular)
- The browser source now has accurate frame synchronization on Windows

OBS Studio 19.0.0
Release date: .
Official source: release notes.
- Bugfixes Pending*
- General Changes:
- Added an auto-configuration wizard to the tools menu and on first-time use, which will attempt to automatically test and configure video/encoding/streaming settings based upon your system and internet connection. This wizard is currently in beta and may be subject to change, feedback is appreciated here:
- Added a stats dialog to the view menu (with the option to show it on start it up in general settings). The stats dialog shows advanced statistics, such as: average frame rendering time, frames lost due to encoding/rendering/network lag, HDD space left in recording location, and how much data has been output total.
- Added a "Render Delay" filter that allows delaying non-async video sources such as display capture or window capture. Note this is only meant for minor sync adjustments (e.g. syncing your screen capture to a webcam), and because the delayed frames are stored on very limited VRAM, the allowable maximum delay is 500 milliseconds (which is 250 megabytes of VRAM on a 1080p 60 FPS source)
- Added the ability to copy and paste filters between sources
- Added Ctrl-E as a shortcut to edit transform of sources
- Added a command line option to start as always on top (--always-on-top)

- Finally fixed an issue with avermedia LGP and LGP-lite devices used directly with OBS where their audio would not play back correctly (the stream engine should no longer be needed to play back these devices)
- The program will no longer fail to start if you use command line parameters that aren't specific to OBS itself (i.e. command line parameters specific to the browser plugin)
- Sync offset will now work with audio monitoring on Windows when video is also present on that source
-

- Warning: hotfixed, please download 0.14.1 here:
- General Changes:
- Added deinterlacing. Deinterlacing modes can now be used by right-clicking the source and going to "deinterlacing" in the menu to select the deinterlacing options. Deinterlacing only works on sources that support it (video capture device source and media source primarily)
- Added full NVIDIA NVENC encoder and deprecated the Microsoft Media Foundation NVENC encoder. NVENC is supported for windows and linux, and can be used via the simple output mode. (Note: To use NVENC on linux, you must compile or get a version of FFmpeg with NVENC support)
- Added full Intel QuickSync encoder and deprecated the Microsoft Media Foundation QuickSync encoder. The full QuickSync implementation is currently only supported on windows, and can be used via the simple output mode.
- Added alt-cropping (cropping via the alt-key). This type of crop only affects the specific scene item and does not affect all instances of a source. You can also change the specific crop number values in the source transform dialog.
- Added a 'slide' transition. This is different from the swipe transition in that it slides in the new scene while sliding out the old scene (HWD)
- Added a 'fade to color' transition. This transition fades to a color and then fades to the target scene from that color. (HWD)

OBS Studio 0.2.4
Release date: .
Official source: release notes.
- NOTE: THIS IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS BUILD!**
- Okay, so mac users are constantly asking for a way to stream. Apparently there aren't many good streaming solutions on mac, so I figured I may as well release a build if people just want to at least stream/record their screens or webcams (and possible even some capture devices, not sure about how supported each one is yet though).
- This is a super early work-in-progress build for people who have been constantly asking. It still doesn't do much, but you can at least stream your desktop efficiently.
- I know it's still may not seem like much right now, but please bear with us and follow our progress as the new multiplatform version matures. Eventually, this new code will get all the vital features filled in for each operating system, and will even replace the current windows version.
- Rewriting something so large from scratch is dangerous and incredibly ambitious, but we have been successful and have pulled through the worst of the worst to get to this point, it's absolutely been worth it. I've learned so much, and it's been an honor meeting some amazing programmers and becoming a part of such an awesome community. I may contribute the majority of the code, but the fact is without everyone who's been involved, this really wouldn't have been possible.
- I'm not currently releasing the windows version of the rewrite because there are too many important features lacking for it to really be usable, like game capture and video device capture, which I'm going to be rewriting from the bottom up as well (and they of all things need it especially). Linux is a different matter entirely due to package management, and it's too early to make a real 'release' for linux, despite the fact that it's about in the same state.
- Read this before asking about features**
- IMPORTANT: Scene editing is not yet implemented, it's next up on the agenda. This is very important to note.
