OpenStream V2 Beta
OpenStream V2 is focused on making the Android-to-OBS setup easier to understand and safer to upgrade. It includes the refreshed OBS source UI, V8 source naming, V7 scene compatibility, Android camera streaming, and direct install downloads for both surfaces.
What's New
| Area | Update |
|---|---|
| OBS setup | Source properties now follow 1. Camera Slot, 2. Live Camera Controls, and 3. Network & Pairing (Advanced). |
| Upgrade path | Existing OpenStream V7 scene sources keep loading through a compatibility source id. |
| Pairing copy | OBS now explains the phone-side slot selection flow instead of leading with SRT details. |
| Setup docs | The walkthrough now includes stale-plugin checks for Program Files, ProgramData, and per-user OBS plugin folders. |
