Installing a plugin in OBS is very easy, you just have to make sure you are installing a plugin for the correct version of OBS. If you downloaded the OBS installer and used the default location the file paths will look like this on a 64bit Windows:

  • C:Program Files(x86)OBSplugins
    • 32bit plugins go here
  • C:Program FilesOBSplugins (old OBS versions used: C:Program Files(x86)OBS64bitplugins)
    • 64bit plugins go here

Like this on a 32bit Windows:

  1. The VST suite of effects can really level up your audio game once applied as an OBS plugin. This can be an effective Streamlabs OBS plugin and also a great OBS Studio plugin. OBS Stream Effects Plugin; StreamFX is an absolutely fun plugin for your stream that adds new sources, transitions, and your own personally customized shaders.
  2. We do not currently support plugins for Streamlabs OBS. At the moment we are implementing popularly requested ones. The same plugin system doesn't just convert over so takes a decent bit of work for it to be implemented in its entirety.

  4. I would like you to develop the VST plugins function with support for (WaveShell1-VST 10.0x64.dll) there are several wave plugins that are very good at leaving live audio with extraprofessional qualification. But when opening WaveShell1 -VST 10.0x64.dll) in obs and streamlabs + obs the programs crash and close. Thank you very much for your attention.

And if you downloaded the Binaries as a Zip file for example, you will have a file path like this: Drum vst plugin best.

    • 32bit plugins go here
  • OBS64bitplugins
    • 64bit plugins go here

If you are not sure which version is being started by the Shortcut you currently use, just right-click the Shortcut and click on “Open file location”. Alternatively you can also check the OBS log-file. To find the latest log, inside OBS click on Settings -> Open Log Folder. And check the version notice in one of the logfiles.
Now after you downloaded your desired plugin you wish to install, its probably the easiest way to extract it into a temporary folder. Especially if you installed OBS into the program files folder you wont need to run WinRar or a similar program with administrative rights. In this temporary folder you will have one dll file and depending on the plugin maybe a subfolder with more stuff. All of these files just have to be moved into the earlier mentioned plugins folder of the correct OBS version you are using. Keep subfolders etc. intact and make sure they land directly in the plugins folder.
Make sure your OBS was closed, or restart it after installing plugins, and then you can click on the Plugins button in OBS to check that your newly installed ones are showing up:

Some plugins also offer configuration options while others allow you to add other stuff to your sources, so this the next step from here depends on your plugin. Have fun!

In the future OBS will probably provide its own plugin installer which will ease the whole process of installing a plugin. But for the moment a few mouse-clicks have to be done! As always please comment if you found a mistake or have an addition.

How To Use A Vst

OBS Studio is a free and open source software made for live streaming and video recording. It’s available on Windows, Mac and Linux. As OBS Studio is open source, almost anyone can develop plugins for the software. This is especially important for streamers who use this software everyday as plugins can improve functionality of OBS Studio

Now that we know what’s OBS Studio and why we need plugins, let’s get to the list of our five best OBS plugins (you might find some bonus stuff too????)

StreamFX

StreamFX is a plugin developed by Xaymar , you can find it here (StreamFX)

This plugin adds some really important functionality like Blur and 3D Transform. Now you can blur out sources you think maybe questionable to your stream, add 3D effects to your stream. Possibilities are endless.

Let us talk about some of its highlighted features

Blur: This filter comes with various types of blur (Box, Gaussian, Dual Filtering) and even goes an extra mile by allowing you to choose how you want the blur to be applied (Area, Directional, Rotating/Rolling, Zoom) and also lets you mask out the area you want to be blurred based on various types of masks.

Displacement Mapping: Displace the pixels of the Source, in any way you want – create a whirl, zoom in and more.

Source Mirror: Source Mirror duplicates the video and optionally also the audio of any source, allowing you to apply filters to either without affecting the original source. It also can rescale the video to fit your target region using any of the obs supported scaling modes. There is no limit on the number of Source Mirrors you create for one source, so go wild!

3D Transform: a filter for you to use, move, rotate, scale and shear your Source in 3D space at will! Create reflections of your video camera on a floor, table, or place your video camera in a room – the possibilities are endless and you can choose what you want to do!

OBS.Live

OBS.Live is created by folks over at StreamElements, you can find it here (Download OBS.Live)

This plugin adds integrated StreamElements Activity Feed, Chat and integrates OBS Studio with StreamElements seamlessly.

OBS.Live lets you see how many viewers you have, Manage Alerts, refresh overlays, have Media Requests and much more.

It works with YouTube, Twitch, Mixer, and Facebook.

OBS WebSocket (+ Deckboard, Touch Portal)

OBS WebSocket is developed by Palakis , you can find it here (OBS WebSocket Plugin)

This plugin allows other programs to connect to OBS to offer more functionality

Where do we find apps that’ll get the best of this plugin? We’ve got you covered

How To Use Vst Plugins In Streamlabs Obs

We have 2 App suggestions that’ll mimic Elgato’s Stream Deck

Deckboard: Created by Riva Farabi, this app requires an Android Phone and a Windows Computer and is one of the best designed apps I’ve seen over the years. This app has Twitch, Spotify support (it even supports StreamLabs OBS). You can find it here (Deckboard Website)

Streamlabs Vst Folder

Touch Portal: Touch portal is another app like deckboard but it’s far more accessible and in some ways superior, this app works with Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. This app works with SLOBS, XSplit, Adobe apps like Photoshop and Premiere Pro, Aseprite and more. You can find it here (Touch Portal Website)

BONUS : You can improve the way Deckboard/TouchPortal looks by using Aurora – Stream Deck Key Icons made by folks over at Nerd or Die ( Get it here )

Closed Captioning OBS Plugin

This plugin is created by GitHub user Ratwithacompiler , you can find it here (GitHub)

This plugin provides Closed Captioning via Google Cloud Speech Recognition API as a standalone OBS Plugin, no other tools required. It integrated with Twitch’s inbuilt CC Support so viewers can click on CC button to enable it the same way it works on Twitch’s self-hosted event streams like TwitchCon and more. You can find instructions to use this plugin from here

This plugin works live and in VODs, no twitch extension required. It’s completely optional to the viewer and Supports multiple Languages. I think this plugin would be one of the best ways to make your streams more accessible.

VST Plugins (ReaPlugs)

Audio is really important when you are streaming or video recording, sometimes people won’t stay if your audio is terrible. It’s one of the most important aspects of Streaming. OBS Studio includes a ton of audio filters already and can give you really great results, but what if I told you we can take it one step further?

OBS Studio supports VST Plugins, one of the most popular Free VST Plugins source is Reaper, also known as ReaPlugs VST FX Suite, You can find ReaPlugs here (Get it here)

Let’s talk about some of my favourite ReaPlugs
