OBS Studio (unofficial)

OBS Studio (unofficial) is an open-source video production application for Linux. It is designed to capture, composite, encode, record, and stream video content. The package is listed in the Video & Media Players category and is intended for people who need to assemble and manage video sources for recording or streaming.

The build includes support for NVIDIA NVENC and AMD or Intel VA-API accelerated video encoding. It also includes plugins for automated scene switching, source switching, scene transitions, dynamic delays, freezing sources, RGB level adjustment, waveform audio visualization, and StreamFX effects and transitions. Other included components provide browser sources, GStreamer pipelines and encoder elements, NDI network audio and video, directory-based media loading, Pango-rendered text with multilingual, emoji, vertical, and right-to-left support, and WebSockets remote control. Transition Matrix customization and the ability to move sources during transitions are also included.

Because this is a community-supported modified build, it differs from a plain description of the upstream application and includes the additional components supplied with the package. Its Linux packaging can connect to ALSA, audio recording, Avahi control, camera, JACK, and kernel module observation interfaces when those connections are needed. These connections support access to the corresponding system interfaces rather than changing the application's category or license.

MirrorNest stores a direct mirror of the official build on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing. The catalog entry is therefore distributed through MirrorNest while remaining an unofficial, community-supported build of OBS Studio. Issues for this build should be filed with Snapcrafters at https://github.com/snapcrafters/obs-studio/issues.
