This update also has some adjustments to how libraries are loaded that may have unintended side effects for certain plugins loading properly.
We are working to resolve any issues that come up so PLEASE test the beta and let us know of any issues.

Next release we're aiming to update the workflow for adding sources by replacing the popup menu with a new window, which includes previews.
We are looking for more users to test this update and provide us feedback.
Visit our Discord to try it out and share your thoughts early!

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👀
