The launch of the new version of NOTE Studio 27.1 in which a series of important changes have been made, including the connection to YouTube without using a transmission key, the drag and drop support to transfer scenes and sources in Linux and more.
For whom it is still unaware of OBS Studio, they should know that the objective of OBS Studio development is to create a free version of the Open Broadcaster Software application that is not tied to the Windows platform, supports OpenGL, and is extensible through plugins.
The difference is also the use of a modular architecture, which means the separation of the interface and the core of the program. Supports transcoding of original streams, video capture during games, and streaming to Twitch, Facebook Gaming, YouTube, DailyMotion, Hitbox, and other services. To ensure high performance, it is possible to use hardware acceleration mechanisms (for example, NVENC and VAAPI).
Main new features of OBS Studio 27.1
In this new version of OBS one of the main novelties that stands out is the support for integration with YouTube video hosting, allowing you to connect to your YouTube account without using a streaming key.
Besides that a new button called "Manage Streaming" has been introduced To create and manage YouTube streams, each stream can be assigned its own title, description, privacy settings, and schedule with it. The auto-tuning wizard offers the ability to test bandwidth. I implemented a chat panel for public and private broadcasts, which is still read-only.
On the other hand, in the animation transition effects (Stinger Transition) in the Track Matte mode, which provides a transition with simultaneous display of parts of the new and old scene, Added "Mask Only" option.
For streaming sources Browser Source, limited support for OBS control is implemented, which requires explicit user authorization, plus the option to display security zones in preview (same as in multi-view) was added.
And in the sources for screenshots in Wayland sessions are now available without the need to start OBS with a dedicated command line option, plus drag-and-drop support for transferring scenes and fonts on Linux was also re-added.
