OBS Studio

OBS Studio is probably my favourite software of all time. You may think that OBS would be used exclusively for gaming purposes... far from it! Yes, you can easily set it up for streaming content to YouTube, Twitch, and the like, but it's also a great screen recorder software for educational videos and a great podcast recorder! It allows for extensive audio input configuration and easy stereo-mix recordings (remember that?) for a podcast session.

The software performs incredibly well even in outdated computers. My almost-10-year-old laptop can pull some recordings at lower resolutions.

Horrible software. On Linux, I simply cannot get it to record the screen without having 50%+ dropped frames due to encoding lag (my CPU is fast enough). Tried default settings, changing settings to use less CPU, etc. but no change. Other screen recording software does not have this problem on my system. Many users report this exact problem on the obs forums, so it's not just me. Absolutely awful software that just doesn't work.

OBS Studio is an incredible tool for recording and streaming! It's free, open-source, and packed with professional features. The flexibility to customize layouts and settings makes it suitable for beginners and pros alike. Highly recommend!

OBS Studio

I’ve been using OBS for many years, both the official version and the Steam release, and I genuinely love it. While there are still features I might not fully grasp yet, it has been an absolute lifesaver for creating videos and streaming across various platforms.

My Favorite Things About This Program:

★ Multiple Scene Possibilities ★ User-Friendly Interface ★ Completely Free ★ Available as Downloadable Software and on Steam ★ Flexible Webcam Area Selection (Shift + CTRL + ALT + Mouse Selection) ★ Extensive Source Management ★ Customizable Docks

Things I Wish Were Added:

★ Multi-Streaming to Different Platforms Without Third-Party Plugins ★ Keeping Platforms Logged In When Switching

Honestly, there aren’t many downsides to this program. I’ve enjoyed using it over the years and actively promote it on my own website. It's definitely a streaming and recording tool that I would highly recommend to anyone!

I often hear OBS Studio in many unmanned live streaming tutorials, so I decided to try it out.

OBS Studio is an absolutely powerful which I use for screen recording where I produce training videos. If there are interactive sessions, I take full advantage of the stereo audio mixing features. I've only scraped the surface of the software for my purposes, but I have seen many contributions in the community that demonstrate the prowess of OBS Studio. But be warned it takes a while to get to grips with, but you will be glad once you put in the effort.

The OG of the streaming world and yet it still continues to lead the pack!
