OBS Studio 33.0 separates core modules from third-party plugin loading and revises plugin installation structures. Legacy paths remain supported until 34.0, while macOS installation locations are unchanged. The release enables Arm64 NVENC, updates the browser framework and fixes Studio Mode group changes leaking into live output. Ubuntu 24.04 support ends and some image APIs have breaking changes, so users should check operating-system and plugin support before changing a production setup.
