Question / Help Unable to Install VST Plugins

[Deyvid_MMO]

I just spent several hours trying to install VST plugins with OBS Studio 20.1.3. I downloaded a few VST plugins that were shown working in OBS in various YouTube videos (ReaPlugs, Lisp, etc) and put the plugin .dll files in the folders recommended in https://github.com/jp9000/obs-studio/wiki/Filters-Guide ... I put the .dll in C:/Program Files/VSTPlugins/ then opened OBS and it did not detect the plugin, I closed OBS, then put the same .dll in C:/Program Files/Common Files/VSTPlugins/ and opened OBS, still did not detect the plugin, etc. Same thing for the C:/Program Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins/ folder.

I'm mainly wanting to add a de-esser filter, I already have the default noise suppression and noise gate filters applied to my mic but I wanted a de-esser. None of the VST 2.x plugins I tried installing were detected by OBS.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong since I was using the same VST plugins recommended in YouTube videos and was putting the plugins in the recommended folders.

Any help would be appreciated.

If x64 OS then try "Program Files (x86)" folders.

Putting the .dll in the "Program Files (x86)" folder worked. Thank you for the suggestion.
