The new PPA is: ppa:obsproject/obs-studio

Start removing the old source:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/btbn*

Then add the new source:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio

Then update the repos:
sudo apt-get update

after that you have to do: sudo apt-get purge obs-*
and afterwards do: sudo apt-get install obs-studio

Source of the new ppa

why was it changed? the last time i tried purging something i broke my system and had to reinstall ubuntu -_-.

edit : oh, it seems they went from personal to official, i dont see why they didnt just do that in the first place.

i just finished doing all the commands and thankfully havent seem to broken anything this time, thank you.

Ah yes I ran into that as well, just uninstall the obs-studio-common package, and update the obs-studio package. You don't need the -common package anymore

before removing the old PPA i think removing obs-studio and obs-studio-common should be done first while the ppa is still active/installed?????

are you certain it's still installed? im not sure if it even matters if obs-studio-common is still installed as I don't believe the new ppa has 2 separate packages but i could be wrong.

The only reason it matters is because that obs icon is still there. If you cannot uninstall the old obs-studio-common package, you can try forcing it (using the -f flag on apt-get) or even removing the offending file(s) manually.

actually i just realized apt-get doesn't have a purge option per the man page, it should be
Code: 
sudo apt-get remove obs-*

and i noticed you didn't use ppa-purge, it's always recommended to use ppa-purge as that not only removes the offending ppa but also reverts any packages back to their previous version. just removing the source like you suggest is no advised at all. (IMO anyway)
