FAQ
Update questions
Will updating OBS delete my scenes and settings?
No. OBS scenes, profiles and settings are stored in %APPDATA%\obs-studio\ which the installer never modifies. Your scenes, stream keys, audio settings and everything else are preserved after an update.
OBS plugins stopped working after update
Major OBS updates sometimes break plugin compatibility. Check each plugin's GitHub page for an updated version. If a plugin is incompatible, it will be listed in OBS → Help → Log File as "Failed to load module".
