In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of installing OBS Studio on Ubuntu 24.04. OBS Studio is a powerful, open-source software for video recording and live streaming, widely used by content creators and professionals alike.

Understanding the Installation Method

We'll be using Flatpak to install OBS Studio. Flatpak is a next-generation technology for building and distributing desktop applications on Linux. It offers several advantages, including:

  • Isolation of applications from the system

1. Install Flatpak

First, we need to install Flatpak on your Ubuntu system. Open your terminal and run the following command:

sudo apt install flatpak

2. Add the Flathub Repository

Flathub is the central repository for Flatpak applications. We'll add it to our system with this command:

sudo flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

3. Install OBS Studio

Now we're ready to install OBS Studio. Use the following command:

sudo flatpak install flathub com.obsproject.Studio

After the installation is complete, you can launch OBS Studio from your application menu or by using the command line.
