Just noticed that the OBS project makes about 2.5k per month on Patreon. That's a bit sad, considering basically all of Twitch and the most of the YouTube scene uses it to record and stream their videos, and they tend to use and recommend Patreon to their own viewers.

They'd be in a pickle if tomorrow OBS Studio were to disappear.

An amazing piece of open-source software.

My colleagues keep spawning Teams meetings just to record their screens; meanwhile, I can open OBS, add a screen recording element, resize it however I like, set the bitrate, encoding type, resolution, scaling, and record beautiful 60fps demos.

And that's literally the simplest scenario. The amount of stuff you can do with video compositing in this tool is insane.

All I want is for NVENC to work on MacOS. If I’m reading this correctly, we remain shit out if luck.

My laptop comes with a beefy GPU (top line 16” mbp) and OBS can’t use any of it. Even the on-board Intel GPU is wonky

If I was OBS owner I would totally charge for it, don't even quote me

OBS is such a great tool. It does its job in a clear and specific manner, and exposes as many levers as you need in the controls. The plugin system seems a bit unrefined though, I think it could be a major win if it was somewhat more accessible.

Platform-specific stuff kinda sucks but it's the nature of the beast.

Unfortunately, at some point they seemed to have removed support for the AMD encoder used with my old GPU, so I can't enjoy the recent software updates until I update my hardware.

Twitch and YouTube sponsor OBS as well. The tier below them has a minimum of $50k per year, so they probably pay a lot. Check the OpenCollective as well.

I don't get it. Why in newer versions of OBS Game Capture is not working for some games, while older version of OBS works without a problem. Same system, same game, OBS version 0.659 (that I have it for like ~2 years) captures games and newer OBS versions all fail. For this purpose I have to keep around this old version while for all other stuff I have the latest and greatest.

Is it some DRM problem? Because otherwise I can't explain it.

Finally. With big lists, this was one of the most painful and tedius things to do on a computer.

Too bad it still can't reset its stream to YouTube on its own after the overzealous AI disconnects you for nothing.
