Hello ! I do not know why when I use my OBS, my settings are almost all greyed out, even when I'm not streaming, recording or using my virtual camera. Can anyone help me please ?
Some of my settings are grayed out.

You have active output. That's why settings options disabled (inactive/grayed out).
To get what kind of output is currently active in OBS you may try to make custom script and run it. The script will print to the log-file of OBS all possible outputs and its current states.
See for details (the script itself and brief info how to use it):
Video output currently active

I don't know.
Better to ask in the thread of the plugin. Maybe there you will find your answer:
obsproject.com
This is both filter and source, so it should has some settings somewhere. Log-file says that you have applied it (filter) to number of sources, like 'Vtube studio' (source itself), 'Source média 8', 'test' etc.

I ran the script, it shows three sources that are all inactive, and I still can't change the output settings.

@FlowMacAwesome I think, you have much bigger problems:
Can you run OBS with the
Code:

I can do that, but it does not seem to make a difference. Output settings are still greyed out

@FlowMacAwesome Maybe we are talking about different settings. Can you provide screenshot of what is grayed out and where?

The message on the screenshot of the OBS Settings says:
"Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting is controlling some of your stream settings" (in case it cannot be read by screenreaders or seen in other way).
that means that you have enabled special mode of streaming to Twitch, thus some settings were disabled.
It is poorly documented in OBS ( here is what "info" will be shared with the service: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/obs-studio-30-2-rc.176114/ ) and in Twitch itself ( basic info: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes?language=en_US and few general words in https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2024/01/08/introducing-the-enhanced-broadcasting-beta/ ).
In short - the "Twitch Enhanced Broadcasting" is transfer, from you to Twitch's servers, not just 1 but 4-5 streams of the same content but at different resolutions and frame rates (for example: 1920x1080@60 6000 Kbps + 1280x720@60 2500 Kbps + 820x480@30 1000 Kbps + 640x360@30 500 Kbps + 284x160@30 200 Kbps, in total = 6000+2500+1000+500+200 = 10200 Kbps instead of 6000 Kbps with regular broadcast). This requires 4 additional encoders running on your PC. Same task but when it running on server's side of the online service is named "transcoding". For example, YouTube do it for free, Twitch - for money. For compatibility and performance reasons most of the parameters for "Enhanced Broadcasting" cannot be adjusted by user. Thus, you either using "Enhanced" broadcasting (and controls almost nothing) or using regular one (but still should fit all your settings to requirements of the service).
Some feedback about the feature, here, on the forum: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/possible-to-tweak-enhanced-broadcasting.178887/
To disable "Enhanced Broadcasting" go to main menu File > Settings > Stream and make unchecked the Enable Enhanced Broadcasting setting (the option available for Service = "Twitch")
