Next release we're aiming to update the workflow for adding sources by replacing the popup menu with a new window, which includes previews.

Both the vertical and horizontal mixer layouts have been updated, and vertical is now the default.
Note: Due to how OBS saves default settings (It doesn't), if you've never changed layouts your UI will get swapped to vertical.
Horizontal is still available!

Our work on the long requested Plugin Manager is finally underway! The initial version included in 32.0 lets you enable and disable plugins in OBS Studio without having to dig into your filesystem.
Additional functionality coming in future updates👀
