Use the download menu to pick Windows, macOS, or Linux packages directly from the latest release.
Step 2

Launch the installer/package for your operating system and complete the standard setup flow.
Step 3
Let the app detect OBS
On first launch, OBS Plugin Installer scans default OBS paths and allows manual path selection when needed.
Step 4
Install and maintain plugins
Browse plugins, review compatibility hints, then install and keep versions updated from one dashboard.
System requirements
Validate these requirements before installation to reduce setup issues and keep plugin management stable in production.
OBS Studio
OBS Studio 30.0+ is recommended for plugin compatibility checks and managed installs.
Operating system
Windows 10+, macOS 12+, or a modern Linux distribution with desktop package support.
Network
Internet connection is required to fetch plugin metadata, releases, and update information.
Quick troubleshooting
Most install issues are resolved by checking OBS paths, allowing first-run security prompts, or retrying from release fallback links.
Installer cannot find OBS Studio
Confirm OBS is installed, then set the OBS path manually inside Installer settings for portable or custom setups.
Security warning on first run
Operating-system security prompts can appear for fresh releases. Allow the app from system security settings, then relaunch.
Download link fails
If a dynamic download link fails temporarily, use the GitHub Releases fallback from the same download card.
