OBS Studio 32
OBS Studio 32.0 introduces experimental Metal rendering support for Apple Silicon Macs and Hybrid MOV output. This new format brings ProRes support to macOS and adds a more broadly supported HEVC/H.264 + PCM audio option across all platforms. Hybrid MP4/MOV, now out of beta, has also been made the default output container for new profiles.
The release also addresses stability with numerous bug fixes, including crashes tied to SRT, Media Source playback, and macOS screen capture, along with memory leaks and UI issues.
OBS Studio 32.0 is available to download now, with builds provided for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Windows, and macOS. A full list of changes can be found on the project’s GitHub releases page.
