OBS Studio, the free open-source live streaming and screen recording software, released new major 32.1.0 version today.<\/p>\n

The new version is made available after 2 Beta and 4 RC development releases. It features new redesigned audio mixer<\/b> that now displays the audio sources vertically by default.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The new audio mixer replaced the bottom vertical dots icon with a new button icon to switch between vertical and horizontal layout. While, “Unhide All” is moved to a new menu along with some extra options, such as show hidden \/ inactive sources, keep hidden \/inactive sources to the right.<\/p>\n

Each audio source now has new headphone toggle icon alongside the speaker icon, and the three vertical icon menu has been replaced by a drop-down menu that can be opened by clicking on the source name.<\/p>\n

For WebRTC streaming services, the release added Simulcast<\/b> support. It allows to encode the same video steam in different quality levels (resolutions and bit-rates) and send them over one track to a media server. Then the media server determines which quality level of streams to send according to user’s device and bandwidth.<\/p>\n

And, a new option is added in settings dialog allowing to set how many layers to send in total (so far support 1 ~ 4), when a WHIP service is selected.<\/p>\n

The new version also added partial canvases support to websocket, allowing external applications to remotely control and automate OBS with more options, and added back missing undo\/redo actions for scene items, such as scale filtering, blending mode\/method, and deinterlacing mode.<\/p>\n

It as well updated the “Edit Transform” dialog with alignment grids, so user can adjust the source position by simply clicking on the grid.<\/p>\n
