OBS Studio

This is the best screen recording and streaming software for windows.

Comments: My overall experience has been very smooth. Never have I ever faced an issue with OBS; it always works flawlessly whenever I need it for work.

Pros:

Pros: Trust me, the title says it all. I am a game developer, and I use the screen recording feature a lot to help my colleagues. This might sound like a paid review, but it is genuinely not. The thing I love the most about the OBS Studio is the software itself, which is open source, which guarantees users that it does not contain any bloatware or spyware. Also, it is so easy to use, even for a beginner. With just a click of a button, you can start recording or streaming the absolute best in the market, no doubt about that.

Cons:

Cons: I believe that OBS could try making their software lighter; at the moment, it is a little bit on the heavier side. Other than that, I have no more complaints; just keep this open-source software updated and maintained.

OBS Studio for The Gaming Podcasters out there

Comments: Fun, useful, It doesn't crash nearly as often as other streaming software. If it does crash there is a automatic crash handler that sends the data from the crash to the OBS Dev team for review to help correct and better the software for the next release.

Pros:

OBS Studio is a free and open-source software suite for recording and live streaming video content. It is widely used by gamers like me as well as other content creators to stream their gameplay or hold their Podcasts on Twitch and a variety of other platforms. OBS Studio is one of the more robust and free screen recorder and streaming suite available for gamers and podcasters, with everything one needs to achieve with some great results. It offers a wide selection of source options and is optimized for games. However, it is wise to get yourself familiarized with the software and experiment as well.

Cons:

OBS Studio is powerful, customizable, and a resource-friendly solution especially with users on Twitch. However, limitations in advanced editing and streaming functionalities do require additional tools and at times other software to complement the suite that it is. Overall, OBS Studio is a awesome choice for gamers and podcasters who want to stream their gameplay on Twitch and other platforms. OBS offers a wide range of features and is optimized for games, but it can take some time to get familiar with the features, so best to learn and maybe check on a few tutorials.

The best for both seasoned streamers and amateurs

Comments: As mentioned above, I use it for both work and personal endeavors. I keep coming back to it and prefer it over other media management software. Until something better comes in the horizon (which hasn't been the case) I'll stick to it.

Pros:

This is great for personal media management or large broadcasts. The great stuff is personalization as it adjusts to the needs of every event or stream that you need to prepare, keeping the settings in a single machine.

Cons:

It could be a bit more intuitive or implement some automatization.

Free and relatively painless

Comments: Overall, I have found this program to be dependable. It runs every week, and I have not had to troubleshoot anything in the program in over a YEAR. That alone is commendable for a program that I run on a weekly basis. I run apple products that need more hands-on management than this program. The interface is not as sleek, but it gets the job done. Give me a little more control over audio and video syncing, and some transition effects, and I would be slamming the #5 stars across the board.

Pros:

IT IS FREE. May all of my complains and frustrations with this software be safely tucked under the umbrella of a customer who is pleased at the end of the day with a product that is reliable and costs him nothing. That is a miracle and I believe that it is getting easier and easier to use. I love the fact that once I have everything set up in the back end of the program, I can get going with one click. I use this program to record and live-stream our Sunday morning services at Church. On the off-chance that the wifi goes down or something, the ability to continue recording to an external drive has saved us on more than one occasion. It handles the basics such as screen sharing, adding logos, and even some basic audio input options very well. Overall, I am extremely pleased and it made the ability to live-stream in a church of 200 people affordable and attainable.

Cons:

Set-up was a long process of educating myself with very little reward and no long-term application for the knowledge that I gained. There seems to be certain settings that you need to select for different types of streaming. Having to wade through numerous youtube videos in order to find what I needed specifically, was not fun. I would love for this software to develop presets for different purposes. Most all gamers tend to used the same presets with some variation depending on their individual internet speeds. Why not have a preset for gamers and another preset for bloggers, or live-streamers? I don't think it would take much and with a few basic questions, the program could do a lot of the heavy lifting that makes the back end of OBS a pain to work with. Additionally the interface, while more intuitive than most open-source programs, does leave something to be desired. I often have to click through all of the setting options in order to find specific settings that need adjustment. Also, I have been running into issues with syncing external audio with the video during live streaming. The video buffer seems to be inconsistent, so the audio and video will start out synced and randomly get out of wack.

OBS - Twitch

Comments: I usually use it mostly for small company jobs to record some training but above all I use obs to broadcast on other platforms

Pros:

When recording the screen you can get clear audio and the flow of what is being recorded is not slow, good FPS and above all not having watermarks in the middle of the video. I think the FPS that the recording can handle and the quality of it is what it is best at, plus you can also record the black screen and only get the audios. I have not used this option much but from the little that I have used it, it is very useful to be able to have all your screens and simply place in visual what you want from each of them.

Cons:

I have a complaint here and it is that some tools are a little complex for someone who has not used them before, sometimes you must be guided by a video on YouTube to be able to obtain the maximum benefits, but outside of those it has very good complements

The best video recording and live sctreaming software i have come across

Comments: i will definitely give it a 98% overall, i love its functionality and impressive features

Pros:

the user interface and the features the software has

Cons:

while recording video then it crashes, the recorded video cannot be recovered

A Perfect OBS Studio

Comments: I have grown to love it use compared to Vmix as it is simple to use

Pros:

The setup is easy and straight forward. Recording and streaming at the same time is seamless as you do not experience breaks.

Cons:

The recorded file sizes are a little big. Hope it be compressed an still have quality maintained.

OBS is the Industry Standard

Comments: I have used OBS and variants (Streamlabs) for years now, it's a dream come true. Makes live streaming game content with Webcam and more a breeze.

Pros:

Full control, full flexibility and powerful features makes OBS the #1 choice for all live streaming.

Cons:

OBS can be a little daunting to set up, but there are many video tutorials that should help anyone make it do what they need.

This Is One of the Best Tools on The Market

Comments: Really good. I use it's for content production and with clients all the time

Pros:

This is seriously good software openly availabile to the public. It's like a Swiss army knife for capturing and managing digital video. The record quality is considered top of the line, the easy of use is great as a tech enthusiast, and the price is free.

Cons:

Honestly no complaints, just wish there was more time in the day to try every feature. The live streaming is really good just takes time to set up due to the nature of the service.

Free and Extensible!

Comments: I mostly use OBS Studio for video recording in my daily video editing workflow.

Pros:

Simple to use and free to download. It works for both streaming and video recording.

Cons:

The interface could be more clear and user friendly.

An honest review about OBS Studio

Comments: Overall if you want to start a career in Streaming or want to record for Youtube uploads then I highly recommend OBS Studio.
Since OBS Studio is completely free and has tons of features and many custom extension which makes your experience better.
I have been using OBS Studio to record videos of me and my friends playing video games together.

Pros:

The best thing about OBS Studio is that it is free, it also has 2 versions which it's own website or the Steam version which both works fine, and it still receive updates.

Cons:

The cons of OBS Studio is that new users will have a hard time setting up OBS for streaming or recording. But there is tons of Youtube tutorial on how to setup OBS to their liking.

OBS Is a Great Free Resource

Comments: For a free software, I very much appreciate its versatility and streaming services. It offers as much as most products that have significant costs to them.

Pros:

I appreciate greatly that it is free and works amazing for the price. It gives us what we need for video recording and the quality is solid. The multi-screen capturing gives us versatility to get what we need for our production. It is fairly light-weight for what it accomplishes. I really appreciate the streaming service it offers.

Cons:

It was a little tricky to get setup and diagnose issues, especially with the low quality of our video and our slow internet. I've had issues with the screen recording and haven't had fixed the issues yet. There are limited resources available to troubleshoot issues, too.

obs:a powerful screen capturing tool

Comments: Overally i can say OBS Studio is a great application especially for my live streaming purposes both on facebook and youtube

Pros:

I like OBS Studio because its quit easy to use and we normally use it for our church live streamings and vedio recording.

Cons:

Recently i have seen that the latest version of OBS Studio does not accept the NDI plugins.

An Excellent Tool For Screen Recording and Streaming

Pros:

I've been using OBS forever, and never had any issues with it. It has so many features, and I can stream or record videos instantly. I love how i can easily customize my streams and it also provides wide range of plugins to extend it's functionalities further like chat overlays, custom scene transitions, audio filters and so much more. Since it is also an Open Source Software, it is definitely worth using without any cost.

Cons:

It will take some time to get used to the tool and learn how to use it properly for new users. And, occasionally I would have some performance issues, as it consumes high CPU and RAM resources.

Must have streaming and recording platform!

Pros:

We enjoy the work flow and how easy it is to get the right inputs and formats necessary for a smooth process.

Cons:

I think the ability to customize features - say remux automation so that you don't have to pick the files you want to remux afterwards, it would just do it automatically.

The best out there!

Comments: Just an absolutely brilliant and positive experience with OBS Studio! Thank you

Pros:

One of the best streaming products I have ever used. It literally checked all the boxes for streaming and on-demand recording for my business.

Cons:

Maybe this is not a con. But it took me a while to get used to all the goodies OBS had to offer. But once you master it, It goes flawlessly

Power product

Comments: Our producers use this product on a daily basis for capturing content in the field for their broadcasts and they love it. It is super easy to use without much of a learning curve. The interface is very intuitive as well.

Pros:

The product is extremely easy to setup and use with its intuitive user interface.

Cons:

I have nothing negative to mention about this product at this time.

A Swiss Army Knife of tools (and they are good tools)

Comments: It became a tool that has become more useful the more you use it...

Pros:

Well works on Linux and Windows, once past the setup curve you can leave it as a set and forget tool for others to use

Cons:

The profiles could use some work eg I use different output resolutions for different jobs. It would be nice that one profile is set for all settings needed for a particular job including all the scenes and sources for that profile including hotkeys and so on. So you could set one profile up copy and base a new profile with way different sources and scenes and output resolution

OBS Studio: The Swiss Pocket Knife of Streaming

Pros:

OBS Studio is free and comes with a wide array of options and features, allowing for a lot of customization.

Cons:

Because it is a free software, while it does receive regular updates, they could be more frequent, with more implementation of new features.

Advance but quite convenient

Pros:

The ability to switch scenes make it such an amazing tool to live stream with. Managing each individual volumes is such a wonderful to have. It had advance features but I got started live streaming in under an hour or so with basic settings and configurations.

Cons:

At the start, it might look advance and become overwhelming but it isn't. All the features are really simple and easy to use.

My opinion about OBS

Comments: I started using OBS Studio during the pandemic to record meetings and other things, and to use the virtual camera for my meetings. Before using OBS I used to use my computer recording functionalities, but it doesn't provide as many settings, filters and options as OBS does (for free). My recording's qualities improved significantly with OBS and I am still using it.

Pros:

It is just an amazing product, I really don't use it for complex things, but the possibilities are endless, you can record screens and audio, record only a window, switch the media sources, etc. You can choose between recoding, broadcasting it to another platform or even use it as a virtual camera. Apart from all this functionalities

Cons:

I haven't found cons at all. I think that is the best software when it comes to multimedia management and recording. It's free, it has many functionalities, and it not only allows amateur users to implement it, but is also perfect for Pro editors and content creators.

If you are a streamer, you are going to love OBS Studio!

Comments: No software in the market comes close to this. Gives you all the features you'll need to get your first stream live that too for free! 10/10 recommended!

Pros:

Back when PUBG Mobile went super popular, our office would have Sunday chill sessions where we would play games and stream them online on Facebook Gaming. During that time I got my hands on OBS and man it is one of the best softwares that can help you to take care of your streaming needs. The screen capture on this is fantastic! My games never lagged for my viewers and everything I did was visible to them without any issues. The audio capture works perfectly as well keeping your voice in sync with whatever you say while streaming. On top this, It's free. I mean the company can charge so much for a product like this but you can get your hands on it for free and there's nothing better than that. With endless customization options and tools OBS Studio is a software that I'd definitely recommend to all users out there!

Cons:

When I was starting up for the first time with OBS Studio, I remember I had to put in like 4 hours to watch videos and guides to understand this software and how it works. Hence, if OBS can maybe upgrade and give a beginner friendly UI it would be really great. Better tips and easy to navigate help guide should be added to this and it will be perfect.

A Powerful Tool for Content Creation

Comments: Using OBS Studio has been a game-changer for my content creation endeavors. It has helped me solve various business problems by providing a comprehensive solution for live streaming, recording, and editing. The benefits I've realized include improved production quality, increased audience engagement, and enhanced brand visibility.

Pros:

OBS Studio provides an extensive range of features for content creation. I particularly appreciate its versatility and flexibility. It offers seamless integration with various platforms and allows for customization of streaming settings.

Cons:

While OBS Studio is a powerful tool, there is a learning curve involved, especially for beginners. The initial setup and configuration can be slightly overwhelming. Additionally, the interface could be more intuitive and user-friendly.

OBS is absolutely ESSENTIAL software for online streaming

Comments: Thankful that this software is (FREELY) available and works so reliably. Doesn't matter the video/audio source; it handles everything well. Absolutely no plans to switch to anything else (even if they were to start charging for it).

Pros:

We've been regularly (weekly) streaming our services for 3+ years now, exclusively using OBS Studio to do so, and it's worked essentially flawlessly. While the options for configuring the software are abundant, they're still not TOO hard to figure out, and the ability to easily work with (in a variety of ways) any incoming video/audio are great. Plus, you can't beat the price!

Cons:

Honestly haven't yet found any downside to using this software.

Good at everything it does, easy to use

Comments: I've tried other OBS softwares, and while some had features OBS Studio doesn't, the UI and general feel of OBS Studio brought me back to it. Overall there are rarely any "hiccups" in the creating process with OBS Studio

Pros:

I mainly use OBS Studio to livestream on YouTube. I also use it to edit videos and transitions for my streams, and it does great at that. Very easy to use and it's free and open source.

Cons:

It isn't a fully-featured video editor, so I use an external website to do most of the editing and only use OBS Studio for things like dynamic viewer count and adding text on the screen, etc.
