How To Install VST2 Plugins | OBS Plugin Directory | Open Broadcaster Software Windows VST Tutorial

Let's review how to install custom .DLL VST2 Plugins into OBS! I would recommend using 64 Bit VST 2 for best compatibility. Below are the folders that OBS searches for plugins:

On Windows, VST files use the .dll extension.

Note: %ProgramFiles% generally corresponds to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)

%ProgramFiles%\Steinberg\VstPlugins\
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Steinberg/Shared Components\
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\VST2\
%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\VSTPlugins\
%ProgramFiles%\VSTPlugins\

I've been draging them in my OBS plugins folder wondering why it wouldn't work. Sucks I have to make this custom folder on the same drive as where my windows OS is installed; it wouldn't recognize it in my other drive.
