Composite Blur (OBS Plugin)

📖 What is Composite Blur (OBS Plugin)?

A free plugin that adds high-quality blur filters to OBS. It includes multiple blur algorithms and effect types, useful for background blur, masking part of the screen, privacy protection, and adding depth to your stream layout. It's published on GitHub and installs as an OBS video filter with fine-grained controls. Because you can apply it to just the sources or areas you need instead of the whole screen, it's easy to protect sensitive information while keeping your layout looking good.

💡 When to Use It

Well suited for hiding personal information on a browser window, blurring out part of the screen on a work stream, or softening your camera background. In game streaming or chatting layouts, you can also blur the background or a secondary screen to make your character art, facecam, or captions stand out.

🚀 How to Use

1. Step 1: On the Composite Blur GitHub page, check the supported OBS version, releases, and installation instructions, and grab the file for your OS.
2. Step 2: With OBS closed, install the plugin, then restart OBS and check that Composite Blur entries have been added to the filter list.
3. Step 3: Add the video filter to the source or scene you want to blur, then adjust the algorithm, radius, mask, and compositing settings while previewing.
4. Step 4: Check how it looks on screens with personal information, camera backgrounds, or chat you want hidden, and check the balance between GPU load and image quality before going live.
