OBS 26.0 is out!
🕑 Added 2020-09-30 10:47:10 +0000 UTCHi everyone! Testing of version 26.0 has finally completed and is now available!
Here are just some of the new things in version 26:
- The Windows virtual camera, which allows you to use the output of OBS in other programs on your computer as though it were a camera. macOS and Linux virtual camera are also coming soon!
- The new source toolbar, which allows quick/easy access to common properties of the source you have selected without having to open the properties dialog, along with additional features such as media controls (play/pause/seek/etc) when you have a media source selected. If you don't like it taking up space that's fine too, you can disable it in the View menu -> Source Toolbar.
- An updated noise suppression filter, with a new AI-based noise suppression algorithm (it has surprisingly low CPU usage too)
- The ability to take uncompressed screenshots of your preview, sources, or scenes
- New QSV encoder improvements and optimizations courtesy of Intel
- Various quality of life improvements and tweaks
- Lots of bug fixes

Thank you all so much for continuing to support the program. I am very grateful!

This virtual Camera was a very welcome addition, I've been wanting something like that in OBS for a while! Thanks!

Nice. I just upgraded from a couple versions behind and saw the virtual camera in the changelog. Haven't tried it yet, but this is *exactly* what I wanted! :)
Thanks! Virtual camera is a must-have for us, conference speakers, after Zoom dropped the ability to share only the specific app window (slides) while having another windows full-screen (speaker console)

It doesn't have any added latency.

Thank you, Hugh! What about latency of the new noise suppressor? 0 samples or?
Thanks! This is great news. We are just about to host an event with multiple parties using SRT so this will greatly reduce setup complexity. Keep up the great work!
