can't install PPA's in UBUNTU 20.04

Question

I've been trying to install ppa's for a while and I'm a little desperate; -; , because I need to do a job and I can’t install it at all (ah, hi this and my first post aki hhihi, I just made an equi account in the community and downloaded the ubunto shortly) I installed the most updated version of the focal fossa, I am trying to install the OBS open broadcaster software, whenever I install ppa from the command line of the same error "Repository does not have a release file" I tried to look for some updates but most sites only have for ubunto 15.00 ; -; I don't know what to do because I already tried this method here: https: //itsfoss.com/repository-does-not-have-release-file-error-ubuntu/

but it doesn't solve anything ._. , I think I will have to download the previous ubunto, like going from 20.04 to 15.00 but I don't know how to do this; -; help

OBS Studio (Version 25) is already in the Ubuntu 20.04 Deb repositories. A PPA is not needed.

sudo apt install obs-studio

You can also use the Ubuntu Software application to install the Deb.
- Version 26.0 is in the Ubuntu 20.10 repositories. Version 26.1 is being tested for Ubuntu 21.04. For newer Deb-based software, use a newer release of Ubuntu.
- A PPA is not a software package. A PPA is a not-official (testing/development) archive from which you can get software packages. Instructions that tell you to add PPAs are generally suspect. You can add PPAs if you wish (it's your system), but it's optional. Few users need PPAs.
OBS Studio (Version 26.1 as of 01.12.2021) is already available as a self-updating Snap for all supported releases of Ubuntu.

sudo snap install obs-studio

You can also use the Ubuntu Software application to install the Snap.
