I work at an old elementary school and brought their News Room to the modern age. For about a month, I had incorporated OBS into the setup, offering scenes, animation, music, and keying to the news show. (I hosted a private Zoom meet for the school and used OBS as a virtual webcam.) Everyone...

I need to report a serious logic error in the Output Timer tool that prevents reliable use of OBS Studio. If changes to the timing schedule become necessary during an active recording and the user tries to stop the timer via the Stop button the software immediately terminates the entire...

It would be fantastic to add a new setting to allow assignment of default Show and Hide Transitions for a Source. I believe that the current default is None. I use the Fade transition very, very often and have to manually assign the Show and Hide transitions over and over for each Source...

im sure that this control menu exists in the system tray on windows but ill just be showing the mac menubar for now: for my use case, i pause recordings a lot whilst i find things just so i can keep what little storage i have + it makes it easier when i get to my editing phase. but one thing i...

I'm building a touchless OBS solution for a Windows-based implementation. This will involve a webclient remote control of some sort (possibly obs-web). I can implement Wake-on-Lan, auto-login for Windows, and startup-upon-login for OBS, which gets me close. I can also implement a...

I want to be able to keep my mic and desktop at the top of the mixer tray, and be able to organize my game application audio below in the mixer. Drag and drop like the source window would be incredible.

Will we ever get this option for video capture devices, and screen/game capture sources on Linux? It's extremely inefficient for it to be always running no matter what if any scene at all is incorporating the source. I remember back when this function didn't work on windows it caused me so many...

It would be nice if we could choose a folder just for video recordings and another for screenshots. I like to upload my screenshots to my OneDrive and it would be great if I could have them save to that folder without everything else going there as well.

When OBS is open, it prevents my PC from going to sleep or dimming the display. This means if I leave OBS open, my desktop screen can be active for several days without me realizing. I would like an option for OBS to only prevent my PC from going to sleep if I am actively recording or streaming.

Currently there is no keybind to restart the macOS screen capture and it would be very useful instead of having to open the properties menu every time you need the capture restarted. And it would be useful to have a startup argument (although I think this one might not be possible without...

Windows has this and I am overwhelming jealous that I can't add my Discord and Spotify set-up through my Rodecaster Duo from my streaming Mac to my Gaming PC. Mac needs the "ADD Audio Input from application window" like PC has. This seems like the only thing missing from being able to stream...

I would really love to see a "Project Packager" in OBS It would gather all your settings, configurations, scenes and sources into one zip file. In the ZIP it would include all filters, scripts, images, videos and fonts... in fact everything that would be required to move the OBS setup to another...

It'd be useful if I could set up forward/backward hotkeys to switch tabs for the individual dock sets I have without needing to click out of whatever I'm doing and switch to the OBS window. Please consider allowing this if feasible.

Whenever something interesting starts happening, there is a dilemma: -the interesting thing is still going on so I should wait for the buffer to fill -but if it's too long, the head of the buffer may be cut off, so I should just save the buffer multiple times and stitch it in post processing -or...

I conducted a cognitive walkthrough in order to see if a new user could accomplish a simple task that the software was made to accomplish. Through this cognitive walkthrough, I gained valuable insight on the UI of OBS and thought that there could be some improvements. Specifically in the create...

Is there a feature requests somewhere for this? Apologies if there is Feature: Ability for user to capture a specific program window and all of it's right click menus, drop downs and preferences sub-windows WITHOUT capturing any other window from another program that might open on top. (not...

like Winspector Spy uses>>> just drag probe-scope to window to record

Since I migrated from XSplit to OBS I noticed the lack of being able to quickly capture a region of the screen. Using the alt key to zoom is too inaccurate and slow. There is another OBS based app that can do that called "Prism Live Studio".

Skaling a browser source should change the DPI scale setting of the webpage. (the thing that happens when you hit "Ctrl + Plus" and "Ctrl + Minus") This way a browser source always stays sharp. And users won't run into this problem anymore. + Option to disable it and set the dpi scale...

I need to capture audio from an application that doesn't have its own window. But I can't select this application through the options, because the list only shows applications that have an active window. Example: I need to capture the Valorant game. I can add "audio capture" from this game...
