    Some suggest that OBS has a steep learning curve. I didn't find that. The only thing I struggled with was cropping video captures. These really is a full featured and reliable app and deserves to be considered alongside other great FOSS like LibreOffice, Gimp, Audacity, Notepad++ & Scribus

    OBS continues to set the bar for live streaming software even though this is a local installed executable for the task. It's efficient it's extendable and it's powerful if you know what you're doing you can basically replace an entire live switching environment with it

    It is very complete, but I don't have much experience with either one of them.
