OBS Studio 33

What HN thinks

A beloved free broadcaster gets a release, and the comments promptly broadcast politics, AI policy fights and lost macOS recordings.

OBS is a beloved staple
Many users praise OBS as free, reliable software that beats proprietary rivals, with creative setups like streaming consoles into a VR headset.
AI contribution policy divides
OBS bans AI-written contributions; some call it backwards and point to a Rust fork, while others support it and even donated because of it.
Bugs and missing dynamic handling
Users complain about macOS capture freezes on low disk space, a long-outdated CEF with an RCE, and poor handling of changing displays; maintainers explain causes and ask for proper bug reports.

Consensus: Most agree OBS is an impressive, widely used open-source tool, though setups that change often need scripting via its WebSocket API or plugins.

Recommended in the comments

VDO.Ninja ↗ (service): Lightweight way to use a phone as a webcam, share screens, or feed video into OBS.
Branch Output ↗ (library): Lets OBS record multiple streams separately.
ShareX ↗ (tool): Lightweight, recently refreshed UI for capture work.
Cap ↗ (tool): Simpler for screencasts, though others reported lost or mis-rendered recordings.
GStreamer (library): Suggested for recording multiple video streams, optionally via an OBS plugin.
CleanShot X (product): Just works for work screen capture.
