The easiest streaming software out there.
Ripping off of OBS and other companies, and making a buck out of it. Do not trust. Just use OBS.
Once upon a time this was definitely a great tool, but like what happens with anything that's attached to a corporate entity now you have to pay for standard features like multi-streaming (etc) and all other features are kneecap'd to a low level, for example, collab invites...you only get 1 unless you pay $190/year (or $27/month). Pure scam. I could list all features, but if you're super interested they have their scam scheme listed right on their website. I used to recommend this program to everyone, now I advise against it vehemently.
lack of plugin support
Use OBS Studio Instead.
Simple to use and very reliable. Have been using Streamlabs for over 4 years now and love it.
Advantages: --Everything is in the system. No need to mess with browser sources. --Lots of people using it, so support is easy to get. --Both Streamlabs OBS and OBS Studio can reside on the same computer. Its resources do not conflict with each other.
Drawbacks: --Its biggest advantage is also its greatest drawback. So much is baked into the default application that it makes the entire app potentially more fragile than it needs to be. --Adding additional accounts to the one each of Twitch, YouTube and Facebook requires payment. --Its extreme simplicity precludes advanced setups like multi-computer setups. --No plugin support. There is absolutely no way to extend its capabilities. --Streamlabs OBS does not offer portable functionality like OBS Studio does.
Streamlabs OBS' drawbacks far outweigh its advantages. That said, I stream with OBS Studio.
