PayPalThe 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 and zoom/scale indicator.
- 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 (currently unsupported) built-in Automatic Scene Switcher when using Wayland on Linux.
- 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.
Support for Ubuntu 22.04 was also removed, so you'll need to upgrade for it.
There's various other bug fixes and improvements like an NVENC upgrade. See the changelog for more.
Notice: This article originally went up last week, a bit too early, the Beta was properly released two days later so it has been republished today.

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:
I have cake

550.54.14 was released back in February. The PPA is your friend, although it really shouldn't be needed.

My current job ends in three days, and with all the free time I'm about to have on my hands I figure I might give this whole "streaming" thing a try.

Small hint: 32 bit packages for nvidia-driver-560 in focal (20.04) and jammy (22.04) are missing in the PPA currently. They are present in noble (24.04).
Related to OBS it's not relevant if support for pre 24.04 has been dropped anyway.
