OBS Studio 27.0: What's New and Improved

The latest version of OBS Studio, 27.0, has been released, bringing with it a slew of new features and improvements that make it an even more powerful tool for content creators. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what's new in OBS Studio 27.0.

One of the most significant changes is the addition of Wayland support on Linux. This means that users can now run OBS Studio natively under Wayland and capture windows and monitors on Wayland desktop environments. Additionally, the Flathub package has been built with Wayland support, while the PPA has only supported it since Ubuntu 21.04.

On Linux, OBS Studio is available in the official repositories of many distributions, including Arch Linux/Manjaro, Fedora, Debian/Ubuntu, and more. However, these packages may take some time to be updated to the latest version.

In terms of features, OBS Studio 27.0 has introduced several new additions. The built-in Noise Suppression filter now supports Nvidia Noise Removal on Windows, which can help improve audio quality. Additionally, SRGB texture formats have been added, along with color operations in linear space.

Another significant improvement is the addition of Track Matte mode to stinger transitions, which allows users to display parts of the previous and current scene at the same time. Source visibility transitions have also been added, enabling users to set a transition for a source when showing or hiding it.

The new version also includes several other improvements, such as the ability to capture displays on different GPUs, useful for laptops with integrated and discrete GPUs. Any modifications made to scenes, sources, groups, filters, stingers, and scripts now support undo/redo, with a limit of up to 5000 actions.

Service integration has also been improved, allowing users to link their Twitch or Restream accounts directly within OBS Studio. This includes built-in chat functionality, making it easier than ever to interact with your audience.

Finally, the latest version of OBS Studio comes with browser docks on macOS and Linux, which can be found in the View menu under Docks -> Custom Browser Docks. This feature allows users to customize their web browser experience within OBS Studio.

Overall, OBS Studio 27.0 is a significant update that brings many new features and improvements to the table. Whether you're a seasoned content creator or just starting out, there's something for everyone in this latest version of OBS Studio.
