    As of today, I’m happy to announce that all of the pull requests to make OBS Studio able to run as a native Wayland application, and capture monitors and windows on Wayland compositors, landed.

    For the past few months, I’ve been doing live coding sessions on YouTube showing how GNOME development goes.
