OBS Studio (also known as Open Broadcaster Software, or OBS) is a screen-casting and live-streaming software available across multiple platforms including macOS, Windows and Linux. Boasting features typically only found in commercial screen recording apps, OBS also provides one of the simplest workflows with an intuitive and easy-to-learn interface that makes recording and streaming a breeze. It&#39;s also totally free and open-source.

With its long standing history of continued updates and considering its ease of use and free cost, it&#39;s no wonder OBS is one of the most popular and highest recommended apps for screen-casting and live streaming.
