>NOTE: OpenGL 3.3 or later is required to use OBS Studio on Linux.
You can check what version of OpenGL is supported by your system by typing:
**glxinfo | grep "OpenGL"** on Terminal.
>
>Please note that OBS Studio does not work on Chrome OS.
>
>xserver-xorg version 1.18.4 or newer is recommended to avoid potential performance issues with certain features in OBS, such as the fullscreen projector.
>
>FFmpeg is required. If you do not have the FFmpeg installed (if you're not sure, then you probably don't have it), you can get it with the following commands:
>
>```
>sudo apt install ffmpeg
>```
>If you want virtual camera support you need v4l2loopback-dkms installed. You can install it with the following command :
>
>```
>sudo apt install v4l2loopback-dkms
>```
>
>Make sure you enabled the multiverse repo in Ubuntu's software center (NOTE: On newer versions of Ubuntu, adding a repository automatically apt updates.) Then you can install OBS with the following commands:
>
> ```
> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:obsproject/obs-studio
> sudo apt update
> sudo apt install obs-studio
> ```
