Some of my settings are grayed out.

My profile setting is grayed out.
Also when I go into General Settings, the Language setting is grayed out.
I use windows 10 and obs 26.1.1

I believe those settings are greyed out when you are streaming.
Stop streaming and see if they are available.

Not just streaming, when any output is active. Including recording, the Virtual Camera, NDI, and a few other filter plugins.

no outputs running, removed chroma key thinking maybe that was it, unplugged my webcam, still greyed out. this bug is getting very frustrating.

Could you share the current log file please? Here's how...

I've been having this issue for months with 26.1.1. Very annoying. Just uninstalled virtualcam, disabled all cams in all scenes, everything still greyed out.

woops sorry. forgot i posted this. I thought the issue would have gone away by now. I would hate to uninstall obs and lose my scenes, especially if the problem arises again.

Your log shows you are using the virtual output, settings are disabled while it is active.

 

[ShaggyLegs]

Yeah guess I'm uninstalling OBS and reinstalling it then. Thanks for the reply.

I had this issue and it turned out to be that the NDI Output Settings were checked.
When I went into TOOLS NDI Output and unchecked both boxes then all of my settings were available again.

This is the right answer to this problem.

Simeon indeed that this right.

The teleport plugin causes the same problem. Need to uncheck 'Teleport enabled' from the properties screen (Tools >> Teleport)

 

[googly_eyes]

I was confused about all of this as well, and found that if I go to:

Settings
Stream
uncheck "Enable Enhanced Broadcasting" box
Click "Apply"

Click on "Output"
Set "Output Mode" to 'Advanced'
You should now be able to adjust all the settings that were grayed out.

I hope that helps others with this UI issue

Yeah I give up with this software.... You can't copy and paste anything without it being a reference You cannot delete a video source after you paste it after a reference and try to add another one It doesn't show up you can't do anything I spend hours and hours and hours trying to do this There's no way around it it's the stupidest thing in the world.

 

[John Zapf]

Copy something and paste it as a reference OK and then when you delete a reference and you add something else you can't do anything with it it doesn't even show up You can't edit it it's not even there It's like the worst thing in the world I don't get it. First of all why can't you copy and paste something second of all why can't you duplicate something I will never understand it how can you do anything with this software!!!!!
