OBS Studio, the popular software for desktop recording and live streaming, released new 32.2.0 version today for Linux, Windows, and macOS.<\/p>\n

The new version of this free open-source software added native .deb<\/code> package for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS<\/b>, many new features, performance improvements, and various bug-fixes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, the new 32.2.0 version improved it’s UI\/UX experience by introducing new add source dialog<\/b>. Instead of using a drop-down menu, it now opens a separate window, provoding a clear interface to add sources and manage recent sources.<\/p>\n

It also improved the FPS selector UX. It now will use the previously selected FPS selector mode when possible. If a consumer has created extra selection modes and the stored value is out of bounds, fall back to the trailing values for the mode selector and the corresponding FPS selector.<\/p>\n

It added copy paste functions to frontend API<\/strong>, allowing users from the vertical plugin to copy and paste sources from and to the main canvas. And, macOS user can now use delete<\/code> keyboard key to delete sources.<\/p>\n

The release as well added missing file support for filters. And, it now includes .webp<\/code> files<\/strong> when adding a directory to Image Slide Show source.<\/p>\n

As you know, multi-track video sends several video streams in parallel that uses more overall bandwidth. But in some cases the streamers’ available uplink bandwidth is not adequate for multi-track video.<\/p>\n

In version 32.2.0, dynamic bitrate (DBR) support<\/b> is added for the case that automatically modulates the video bitrate based on network bandwidth to avoid dropping frames.<\/p>\n

The release as well added new filter that can perform SDR (Standard Dynamic Range) to HDR (High Dynamic Range) composition<\/strong> automatically, providing greater brightness range for grading and effects.<\/p>\n

For Apple Silicon Macs, which installed OBS Studio versions built for Intel-based Macs, it will automatically update to the build for Apple Silicon. However, third-party plugins will NO longer load until replaced with Apple Silicon versions.<\/p>\n

Other changes in OBS Studio 32.2.0 include:<\/p>\n
