This plugin adds 3 sources for capturing audio outputs, inputs and applications usingPipeWire

• OBS Studio 28.0 or later
• WirePlumber

PipeWire 0.3.62 or later is highly recommended (#17,PipeWire#2874)

For the plugin to be able to capture applications, PipeWire should be set up to handle audio on your system.For most applications, thepipewire-pulsecompatibility layer should be enough, but there are alsopipewire-jack andpipewire-alsa.If applications aren't showing up in the plugin, your system may be missing one of those components.
See thePipeWire wiki for more info.
