Do you need to update OBS? OBS is one of the most popular broadcast apps available. It's open-source and free to download and works perfectly with most popular streaming services, like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live . Unfortunately, OBS does not check for updates automatically by default. If you want the latest features and bug fixes, you need to manually update to the newest version. Luckily, it's pretty easy to do so. You can also enable automatic update checks when OBS launches. No need to worry! Updating OBS will not alter your settings, scenes, or sources in any way. This wikiHow article teaches you how to update OBS.

Things You Should Know

  • Updating OBS will not change your settings, scenes, or sources in any way.
