Adding obs 30 subtitles to OBS doesn't require any plugin. StreamTranslate works via OBS browser source — paste a URL, position it on your scene, and get real-time translated subtitles with zero installation.
The Problem with OBS Caption Plugins
Traditional OBS caption plugins like LocalVocal, pixel_closed_captioning, and others work as OBS plugins — which means they break every time OBS updates. You have to reinstall them, reconfigure them, and troubleshoot compatibility issues constantly. They also add GPU overhead to your streaming PC.
StreamTranslate takes a completely different approach: it's a cloud-based service accessed via a browser source URL. No plugin to install, no plugin to break, no GPU overhead. It works on OBS 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, and any future version.
