OBS Studio 32.1.0 released
OBS Studio 32.1.0 is now available, and the update includes a mix of new workflow features and rendering fixes. The release adds a new Audio Mixer, WebRTC simulcast support, more undo and redo actions for scene items, and partial Canvases support for obs-websocket.
From a graphics and video standpoint, one of the more important fixes targets NVIDIA Blur and Background Blur. OBS says the update resolves banding and blotchy output in those effects, which should improve image quality for users relying on NVIDIA-powered background processing during livestreams and recordings.
The release also fixes an issue where HDR playback in Media Source could appear darker than expected. OBS further corrected a bug where video scaling could break in multivideo encoder scenarios, which matters for users running more complex encoding setups or multiple output paths at once.
Outside of GPU-related changes, OBS Studio 32.1.0 also improves browser source security for local files, raises the default bitrate to 6000 kbps, updates the Edit Transform dialog, and makes several layout changes across the interface. The patch also includes crash fixes across Windows, Linux, and macOS, along with fixes for black recording thumbnails, locked transitions, and profile or video settings getting stuck.
