OBS Studio 30.2.1
If you would like to support the OBS Project, please consider contributing to our Patreon or Open Collective!
Note
NVIDIA users may need to update their GPU drivers to 531.61 (Windows) / 530.41.03 (Linux) or newer.
Important
The code signing certificate for OBS is being updated. This may impact game capture compatibility with some anti-cheat solutions starting with the next major OBS update. If you are a game or anti-cheat developer please see https://obsproject.com/kb/capture-hook-certificate-update for more information.
30.2.1 Hotfix Changes
- Fixed a possible crash when loading scene data [norihiro/notr1ch]

- Fixed an issue causing the legacy AMF encoder to no longer be available after updating OBS [derrod]
- Fixed an issue where attempting to run OBS with the OpenGL renderer on Windows would fail [kkartaltepe]
- Note: The OpenGL renderer is unsupported on Windows. When running OBS on Windows, the Direct3D 11 renderer is faster and more efficient than the OpenGL renderer. The OBS renderer can be changed to Direct3D 11 in Settings → Advanced → Video.
- Fixed read-only QTextEdit background color [Warchamp7]
- Fixed source tree icon spacing [Warchamp7]
- Adjusted sizing of Classic audio meter elements [Warchamp7]
30.2 New Features

- On Twitch, this is known as Enhanced Broadcasting. For more information, see: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes
- The supported audio channel configurations are stereo or mono.
- This feature is currently only available on Windows and requires an NVIDIA GTX 900, GTX 10, or RTX 20 series GPU or newer or an AMD RX 6000 series GPU or newer. Support for other operating systems and GPU vendors is planned.
- When this feature is enabled, the following data about your system will be sent to the streaming service when starting a stream:
- OBS version and audio/video settings (Resolution, framerate, audio channels/tracks)
- CPU info (Name, speed, core counts)
- GPU info (Model, memory, driver version, device ID, vendor ID)
- Memory info (Free, total)
- OS info (name, version, arch, emulation)
- Windows info (Gaming feature status: Game Bar, Game DVR, Game Mode, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling)

- Added support for Enhanced RTMP/FLV multi-track audio and video [palana/kc5nra]
- Replaces the old metadata-based "VOD Track"

- Themes now consist of a base theme and variants that can be switched between in the new "Appearance" settings tab
- Old themes will no longer work and will need to be updated to the new system. See the wiki page for details: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/OBS-Studio-Theme-System

30.2 New Features
- Added support for Multitrack Video streaming [palana]
- On Twitch, this is known as Enhanced Broadcasting. Currently, this requires Windows and an NVIDIA GPU. Support for other platforms and GPU vendors is planned. For more information, see: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes
- When this feature is enabled, the following data about your system will be sent to the streaming service when starting a stream:
- OBS config info (canvas width and height, frame rate, encoder width and height, which GPU OBS is using, VOD Audio Track setting, OBS version)
- CPU info (name, speed, core counts)
- GPU info (model, memory, driver version, device ID, vendor ID)
- Memory info (free, total)
- OS info (name, version, arch, emulation)
- Windows info (gaming feature status: Game Bar, Game DVR, Game Mode, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling)
- Multitrack Video settings (maximum streaming bandwidth, maximum video tracks)
- Added support for Enhanced RTMP/FLV multi-track audio and video [palana/kc5nra]
- Replaces the old metadata-based "VOD Track"
- Added "Hybrid MP4" output format (BETA) [derrod]
- Combines fault-tolerance of fragmented MP4 with wide compatibility and faster access times of regular MP4. For more information, see: https://obsproject.com/kb/hybrid-mp4
- Supports inserting chapter markers into the file via a hotkey or API. These markers are supported by most video players and editing software, such as DaVinci Resolve
- Added Linux support to the native NVENC encoder [derrod]
- NVENC AV1 is now supported on Linux
- Added Linux shared texture support to the NVENC encoder [derrod]
- Added Linux shared texture support to the QuickSync encoder [kkartaltepe]
