The picture above shows OBS in studio mode with a dockable panel on the right-hand side. A modulized dashboard along with new dockable web-browser panels, have made OBS a totally different piece of software. Since then, the developers have added great features that allow users to move around “modules” inside of the interface. Since OBS 20, users have been able to choose “Studio Mode” which allows users to have both a preview and output window similar to vMix and Wirecast. Another awesome feature included hardware decoding for media sources which allows users to take advantage of their graphics cards and save processing power on their CPUs.īy the time OBS 24 was out, the team had already made the OBS interface more attractive by allowing for themes. This allowed users to have OBS adapt the bitrate (quality of the live stream) to fluctuate with the available bandwidth. OBS 24 was a major update to the software because it brought us dynamic bitrate encoding. Well it’s worth reviewing the latest features from OBS 24 and 25 to get up to speed before we dig into the new features of OBS 26.
