The best tool for video recording and livestreaming is about to get another upgrade with OBS Studio 31.0.0 Beta 1 out now.It's in Beta meaning it's not quite ready for everyone, but a good time to test everything works as expected ahead of the next stable release.

For this release NVIDIA Kepler GPUs are no longer supported for NVENC, NVIDIA users also need to upgrade at least to driver version 550.54.14.

New features include:

  • Added NVIDIA Blur Filter and Background Blur.
  • Added preview scrollbars.
  • Added v210 format support for AJA device capture.
  • Added Amazon IVS service integration.
  • Added QSV AV1 Screen Content Coding.
  • Enabled first-party YouTube Chat features.

Some Linux-specific changes too:

  • Disabled the built-in Automatic Scene Switcher when using Wayland on Linux (which is not currently supported).
  • Changed display and window capture on Linux to not capture implicitly.
  • Improved screensaver inhibit functions on Linux in Flatpak
  • Fixed two crashes with the QSV encoder on Linux.

There's various other bug fixes and improvements. See the changelog for more.

Have they fixed AMDs AMF being detected correctly?

AMF works fine via ffmpeg in the advanced options but but there own code fails to detect it.


Edit:
