OBS Studio Setup Information

OBS Setup

Version 1.3.25 (2024-02-13)

This is Dr. Ralf S. Engelschall's opinionated list of software components for installing a full-featured Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) Studio setup under Windows 10/11 (x64). For this, beside the base application, multiple OBS Studio Plugins and companions scripts and tools should be installed. The intention of this collection is to easily locate all the essential resources.

Notice: for the audio setup with VST plugins, see the Audio Products of my companion Audio-Setup!
