- OBS version and audio/video settings (Resolution, framerate, audio channels/tracks)
- CPU info (Name, speed, core counts)
- GPU info (Model, memory, driver version, device ID, vendor ID)
- Memory info (Free, total)
- OS info (name, version, arch, emulation)
- Windows info (Gaming feature status: Game Bar, Game DVR, Game Mode, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling)
- Multitrack Video settings (Maximum streaming bandwidth, maximum video tracks)
- Added support for Enhanced RTMP/FLV multi-track audio and video [palana/kc5nra]
- Replaces the old metadata-based "VOD Track"

Important
The code signing certificate for OBS is being updated. This may impact game capture compatibility with some anti-cheat solutions starting with the next major OBS update. If you are a game or anti-cheat developer please see https://obsproject.com/kb/capture-hook-certificate-update for more information.

30.2 New Features
- Added support for Multitrack Video streaming [palana]
- On Twitch, this is known as Enhanced Broadcasting. Currently, this requires Windows and an NVIDIA GPU. Support for other platforms and GPU vendors is planned. For more information, see: https://help.twitch.tv/s/article/multiple-encodes
- When this feature is enabled, the following data about your system will be sent to the streaming service when starting a stream:
- OBS config info (canvas width and height, frame rate, encoder width and height, VOD Audio Track setting, OBS version)
- CPU info (name, speed, core counts)
- GPU info (model, memory, driver version, device ID, vendor ID)
- Memory info (free, total)
- OS info (name, version, arch, emulation)
- Windows info (gaming feature status: Game Bar, Game DVR, Game Mode, Hardware-accelerated GPU Scheduling)
- Multitrack Video settings (maximum streaming bandwidth, maximum video tracks)
- Added support for Enhanced RTMP/FLV multi-track audio and video [palana/kc5nra]
- Replaces the old metadata-based "VOD Track"
- Added "Hybrid MP4" output format (BETA) [derrod]
- Combines fault-tolerance of fragmented MP4 with wide compatibility and faster access times of regular MP4. For more information, see: https://obsproject.com/kb/hybrid-mp4
- Supports inserting chapter markers into the file via a hotkey or API. These markers are supported by most video players and editing software, such as DaVinci Resolve
- Added Linux support to the native NVENC encoder [derrod]
- NVENC AV1 is now supported on Linux
- Added Linux shared texture support to the NVENC encoder [derrod]
- Added Linux shared texture support to the QuickSync encoder [kkartaltepe]
- Added Linux shared texture support to the VA-API encoder [nowrep]
- Added HEVC support to WebRTC output [murillo128]
- Added Composable Themes system to simplify theme creation, maintenance, and enable future customisation options [derrod/Warchamp7]
- Themes now consist of a base theme and variants that can be switched between in the new "Appearance" settings tab
- Old themes will no longer work and will need to be updated to the new system. See the wiki page for details: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/wiki/OBS-Studio-Theme-System
30.2 Changes
- Various UI and Theme tweaks [Warchamp7]
