OBS Studio 31.1 Beta 1 is out today as the newest version of this popular cross-platform and open-source solution for gaming live streaming, desktop screencasting, and similar screencasting/live-streaming uses.

After previously being a Windows exclusive feature, OBS Studio 31.1 is set to bring Multitrack Video support to macOS and Linux systems. OBS Studio's Multitrack Video feature allows managing multiple audio/video tracks simultaneously for advancing streaming use-cases.

OBS Studio 31.1 Beta 1 also brings V4L2 virtual camera support now to non-Linux environments like the BSDs. There is also now support for hardware-accelerated browser source handling on Linux.

The OBS Studio 31.1 Beta 1 release also brings initial support for Windows on Arm, new UI options, preview zoom controls, AV1 B-frame support for AMD AMF, support for color format / space / range GPU conversion, QVBR rate control for VA-API use, and explicit sync support for PipeWire screen capturing. Plus there are dozens of bug fixes and various other changes that have been baking for the OBS Studio 31.1 multi-platform screencasting software.
