Download OBS Studio 25.0.1

Open Broadcaster Software Studio is open source and cross platform software intended for recording and streaming video from one or more sources, such as a webcam, microphone, media files and the desktop. A few days ago, version 25 of OBS Studio was released, which included support for games running on Vulkan. Meanwhile, a successor has also appeared, which should solve some problems. The full changelog is here to find. In short, these are the main improvements:

OBS Studio 25.0 new features:

• Added the ability to capture Vulkan-based games with game capture. Big thanks to Ubisoft Montreal for submitting this feature!
• Added a new capture method to window capture which allows capturing browsers, browser-based windows, and Microsoft Store (UWP) programs
• 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
• Added advanced scene collection importing (on the menu bar, Scene Collection -> Import) which allows you to import from other common streaming programs
• Added Media source hotkeys to allow control of playback (stop/pause/play/restart)
• For now, these are just hotkeys. User interface for this is also planned for future updates
• Added the ability to drag and drop URLs to create browser sources (after displaying a confirmation prompt to ensure it was by intention)
• Developers can add an embed to their web pages that let them pre-specify parameters that automatically get set in the source when it’s dragged into OBS. see this link for more details
• Added T-bar to studio mode
• Note that this will not work while using a Stinger transition or the “Cut” transition
• Added support for the SRT protocol
• This is available by choosing “Custom” under Stream settings > Service, then entering your srt:// path into the Server box.
• Added a button grid mode to the scenes list, which can be toggled via right-clicking on the scenes list
• Added ability to lock volume values ​​of audio sources via their right-click context menu in the mixer
• Added source icons to the source list that give a more visible indication of their function (can be disabled in the View menu)
