OBS Studio Releases Beta 32.1 With Audio Mixer

OBS Studio released a public beta of version 32.1.0 on GitHub in early 2026, introducing a revamped audio mixer and WebRTC simulcast support that enables multi-platform low-latency streaming. The beta also updates the Add Source dialog, adds comprehensive undo/redo, improves AV1 codec handling, and fixes stability and workflow bugs to simplify multi-source setups across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
