This disclosure is for OBS Studio notes. File links go to GitHub Releases. Installers stay on that GitHub account. Publisher details sit on about. Analytics and cookies sit on privacy.
Ads are currently off
No display network script ships. Ad IDs stay empty. Guides under guides are not for sale. The winget command is the official package id from winget-pkgs, not a paid placement:
winget install -e --id OBSProject.OBSStudioBecause ads are off, contact has no advertising enquiry channel. Skip a media kit expecting a slot. Privacy for the lack of ad cookies is on privacy. A Game Bar switch is a same-job note, not a paid rank: move off Game Bar.
No fake download button
A fake download button is an ad or a wrapper dressed as the installer. the guides ship none. The Windows x64 setup matches OBS-Studio-*-Windows-x64-Installer.exe on the current GitHub release. The portable x64 zip sits on the same tag. Softonic, CNET, and unofficial sites that wrap the name are the pattern to walk past. Fetch notes: download safely. Asset chooser: releases. Repo: GitHub.
Home repeats the same official command and the same GitHub account. See home and how to install winget. Winget still leaves the bits on Microsoft's package source and on GitHub. A second big control outside those paths would be the fake download this disclosure forbids.
If ads are enabled later
If a display network is approved later, this disclosure will be updated before the script ships. The rules below are the ceiling, not a menu of extras.
- Display ads only. Standard labeled units. No native advertorial that looks like a guide.
- No affiliate links. No cut on GitHub, winget, obsproject.com, Streamlabs Desktop, XSplit Broadcaster, Xbox Game Bar, or NVIDIA App.
- No sponsored content. A compare note cannot be paid to prefer the OBS Project app or to prefer Streamlabs, XSplit, Game Bar, or NVIDIA capture.
- No vendor payment. Payment from the OBS Project for a command, a rank, or a filename is absent. Payment from competitors is absent too.
Placement limits if ads go on: units stay out of the install command and out of the space between the heading and the winget line. Units stay off the GitHub file link under the command. A labeled unit may sit after the install notes, never as a second exe file. The disclosure here will name the network when one exists. Until it names one, treat ads as off.
Who pays for placement
Nobody, today. The desktop app is free under GPL-2.0. There is no paid tier in the README. Donate and sponsor links on obsproject.com/contribute are the project's, not a paywall. Streamlabs Desktop, XSplit Broadcaster, Xbox Game Bar, and NVIDIA App are described from their own pages when a fact is quoted. None of those links are affiliate. How those facts are checked: editorial policy.
Picking an installer, pasting winget, and moving off Game Bar are unpaid howtos under for this computer and guides.
Where the install command lives
The command is a winget-pkgs fact, verified against that tree on 2026-09-02. It is the same string on home and in the guides. Changing it for a sponsor would be a factual error. Report that kind of drift with four facts on contact. Product bugs still go to GitHub Issues. The current release tag on the stamp comes from GitHub at build, so a paid latest-version badge never has a place to sit.
