I am trying to run OBS Studio but I only have Open GL version 2.0 and the documentation states that minimum version is 3.3. I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and spent hours running through websites trying to upgrade my opengl version to 3.3 unsucessfully. Can anyone help? or otherwise are there any alternatives to OBS to record video (e.g. recording streaming video from zoom)? I am really new to linux.
The error I am getting when I try to run obs is the one below. Thanks
when I run glxinfo | grep "OpenGL" I get
