When we first announced that the OBS Project would begin accepting sponsorships over two years ago, our primary goal was to promote the sustainability of OBS development for its contributors. Through your generosity, we’ve grown to be able to support two full-time developers, as well as give back to several contributors from the community in appreciation of their work. And for that, we are extremely grateful!
However, for some time now, we’ve wanted to make our sponsorship funds go even farther. That’s why, today, we’re announcing the OBS Project Bounty Program. This new program allows us to share our highest priorities with the developer community and provide compensation for the developers who offer their time and expertise to meet those needs.
After an extensive testing period, we’re happy to announce that OBS Studio 27 is now available for everyone! If you already have OBS installed, the next time you launch it you’ll receive an update alert. If you’re downloading OBS for the first time, or would like to use a portable version, you can download it from our website. If you dismiss the update notification, it can be triggered manually from the Help menu on both Windows and macOS.
Thanks to all who downloaded test builds, reported bugs, and verified that bugs were fixed during the testing period via the #beta-testing channel on . Every report means less of a reason to make a hotfix in the coming days, and ultimately results in a better experience for everyone.
