This is an example of the error, “The following OBS plugins failed to load“.
Followed by plugin names like “obs-websocket”, “StreamDeckPlugin”, “StreamFX”, etc.

Why don’t plugins load on OBS?
Plugins fail to load on OBS because they are not compatible with the latest version of OBS.
According to OBS, some plugins may not be compatible with the latest update.
You can check the list of compatible plugins here: https://obsproject.com/kb/obs-studio-28-plugin-compatibility.
If the plugin is marked as “Not Available”, it means that the plugin developer has not updated its compatibility.
If you see a “In Progress” status, it means the plugin developer is working on an update.
Mac operating systems are more prone to compatibility issues than Windows operating systems.
Therefore, if you are using Mac OS, the plugin may not be compatible with OBS.
Apparently, plugins like “OBS-RTSPServer”, “PTZ Controls”, “Instant Replay” and others are not compatible with the latest OBS update.
If you have an incompatible plugin, you will get a “Plugin loading error”.
How to fix “Plugin loading error” on OBS
To fix “Plugin loading error”, you need to downgrade OBS.
- Go to https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/releases/tag/27.2.4.
- Scroll down and download the previous OBS release (e.g. OBS-Studio-27.2.4-Full-Installer-x64.exe).
- Run the installer and OBS Studio will be downgraded to 27.2.4 (older version).
After you downgrade OBS to an older version, your plugin should be able to run.
Your previous settings will also be kept.
If you don’t want to downgrade OBS, you need to update your plugin to the latest version.
In most cases, you need to update your plugin manually.
For example, if you are using the Elgato Stream Deck plugin, you need to update the plugin manually here: https://help.elgato.com/hc/en-us/articles/8815141056013.
If one or more of your plugins don’t have a new update, you need to wait for one.
You can also remove incompatible plugin(s) from your plugins directory.
For example, if the Stream Deck plugin is not compatible, you need to remove “StreamDeckPlugin.dll” and “StreamDeckPlugin.pdb”.
The default Windows plugin location for OBS is C:\Program Files\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\.
If you install OBS elsewhere, the location will be different.
