We have actually just launched a user survey[1] today hoping to get some feedback about how people use OBS, with the goal of improving UX. No telemetry makes it difficult to get an idea of which features users actually use or find important.

Beyond the survey, are there usage logs we can share or limited telemetry we can opt into?

Nothing else at the moment, even as opt-in. We're considering this in the future, but want to make sure we do it right.

Make sure you do it differently than how Muse Group did it with Audacity (specifically the announcement and explanation of why and what parts) [0]. Which I'd argue is not particularly difficult to do.

Personally, if there is telemetry added, I'd prefer it to be plugin.

I'd love it if you guys pinched inspiration from the middle alignment lines from whatever streamlabs calls itself these days (lines that extend to the edge of the scene when moving elements so you can more easily eyeball where things should go, snapping to other element edges/middles is a bonus). Literally the only thing I missed switching out slobs for OBS.

Love OBS, everyone involved in it should legitimately feel proud of their work. Great software.

E: Survey done :)
