July 16, 2024

4.0

Pros

OBS has been around a long time and has had regular updates. Its good for either doing live streams or recording videos in real time. Its an open source project which means that its free to use.

Cons

The UI elements dont look quite as polished compared to using something like Wirecast.

### "Il Software di Streaming e Registrazione Video Essenziale"

September 15, 2023

5.0

Pros

Ho utilizzato OBS Studio per un po' di tempo e devo dire che è un'applicazione sorprendentemente potente e flessibile per gli appassionati di streaming e registrazione video. OBS Studio è uno strumento incredibilmente potente per chiunque voglia entrare nel mondo dello streaming o delle registrazioni video. La sua personalizzazione, la qualità video e audio configurabili e il supporto per plugin lo rendono uno dei migliori software gratuiti disponibili per queste attività. Tuttavia, è importante dedicare del tempo per imparare le funzionalità e le impostazioni di OBS Studio per sfruttarlo appieno.

Cons

Tutto perfetto, nessun riscontro negativo. OBS Studio offre un controllo granulare sulla qualità video e audio. Puoi regolare la risoluzione, il frame rate e il bitrate per ottenere la qualità desiderata del tuo streaming o delle tue registrazioni. Inoltre, il supporto per multiple sorgenti audio ti consente di catturare audio da diverse fonti, il che è utile per giochi, webinar o podcast. OBS Studio supporta una vasta gamma di plugin e estensioni che consentono di aggiungere funzionalità extra al software. Questo è particolarmente utile per chi cerca funzionalità specifiche o desidera espandere ulteriormente le capacità di OBS Studio.

### "OBS Studio is great and not just for streaming games!"

May 23, 2023

4.0

I have used OBS for years and love that it is constantly changing and evolving. I use it at work and at home and found it to be one of the first programs I install on any computer I use. The fact that it is free makes it even better.

Pros

The ease of use is what I like about this product. There are times when I need to customize the layout of what I am trying to record and it's great for putting things in layers. It is easy to set up and start recording or streaming with just a few layers to setup.

Cons

The part of OBS that might need a little work, is the "decks". When I stream twitch one of the decks would be stream information. If I close that deck down and try to find it again, it's not easy to find. So I have to close down OBS and reopen.

### "The Best Screen Recording and Video Capture Software"

December 2, 2022

5.0

OBS Studio is by far the best screen recording software I have ever used. That in

Pros

The output compression of files is amazing and happens almost instantaneously as you record. The final Output of a HD session is very small at 60fps and this is awesome.

Cons

Forward compatibility for plugins is a major drawback for OBS Studio and it's very irritating to be force to rollback to a previous version due to a failed plugin.

### "An honest review about OBS Studio"

February 5, 2024

5.0

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.

### "Una caja de herramientas escencial para cualquier creador de contenido"

September 14, 2022

5.0

OBS me brindó la oportunidad de realizar mis clases Online de manera creativa durante el confinamiento por COVID-19. Lo uso en todas mis reuniones Online y clases.

Pros

La capacidad de OBS de poder integrar muchas fuentes en una sola experiencia multimedia, de manera dinámica, trasparente y con look profesional es imbatible. Te pone como director y actor de tu propio contenido en vivo o en diferido.

Cons

Su curva de aprendizaje es un poco intimidante al principio. En especial para profesores que quieren renovar sus clases online o simplemente hacer videos educativos. Se deben tener conocimientos de la configuración del PC, de busqueda de archivos, de configuración de video y audio, etc. Que tampoco representa un gran problema, pero requiere tiempo y dedicación. Una vez superado este escollo la experiencia lo vale.

### "The Go To Solution for Millions of Streamers and Content Creators Everywhere"

November 17, 2021

5.0

I use the program often and am a huge fan. It's simple once you know what's going on. It makes video editing easy to a point as it is limited in some ways. As a screen recorder it is the perfect solution. As a streamer, it is the go to program that has incredible customisation options. I give this a overall 9.

Pros

I love that I can stream to Facebook, Youtube or Twitch at any given time. I love that I can add overlays to make my video capturing look more appealing to the eye. The quality of audio and video is superb and you get multiple choices at bitrates and presets for recording and streaming reasons. I love how simple it is to setup and customise the program. I love that I can monitor everything that I'm recording from one program. This includes sound, Frame loss, CPU usage to name a few.

Cons

Its not beginner friendly and I did need to watch a few youtube videos to figure out what's going on.

### "OBS Studio is the best Free Computer Screen Recording Software"

July 13, 2022

5.0

At first I could not understand the settings of OBS Studio, but after practicing it several times, doing live broadcasts, adding effects and adjusting settings each time, I was able to get an excellent experience from it, it is enough that it is free and offers very high quality sound and picture

Pros

Yes, there are many programs that offer screen recording, but the problem is that some of them are free and paid and the free programs do not contain enough features to inspire you to use them, so I will shorten the topic for you and tell you about the wonderful OBS Studio program that contains features that I love and use a lot on my device and all of this Open source and free An easy-to-use and flexible program that offers you high-quality audio and video, and does not take up much space on the device as it is very light and does not pose any weight on weak devices, and supports live broadcasting on more than 20 different platforms, before saving the broadcast, you can also use various video editing tools to edit it. One of the features that I liked and used a lot is the feature of adding audio filters directly during broadcasting without the need to use external programs, in addition to the presence of many filters for image improvement, color correction, and others.

Cons

Sometimes while doing a live stream with OBS Studio, the stream gets stuck from minute to minute, after which it goes back to working fine There is also difficulty in the beginning to adjust the settings, but after practice you will get used to it

### "OBS The Social Inclusion Tool"

November 18, 2022

4.0

Overall OBS is an excellent software for both recording and live broadcasting, besides being free it offers the best features available on the market, it is worth mentioning that the negative points are related to the difficulty that the software presents for certain settings and for the user who is starting, as well as the lack of a profile setting that saves the scenes and styles so that the user doesn't bother changing computers.

Pros

Excellent quality recording with a quick response to capture, making the transition smooth and sharp.The input and output audio quality settings are impeccable, bringing a better experience to live broadcasts. Excellent response on connections to other servers for live broadcasts.Excellent compatibility with third-party tools that integrate many new features into both recording and broadcasting.Easy to manage the location of the recording files, as well as the formats.

Cons

Difficulty to make some integration settings.Difficulty applying the configuration saved in the software when reset.Lack of an option to save all the integrations and scenes configured in the profile, so that regardless of the computer the user uses, the user always keeps the configuration saved.

### "Best FREE screen and stream recording software out there"

March 31, 2022

5.0

Overall i've found OBS to be a great free streaming software. For the purpose of streaming its fantastic with all the 'bells and whistles' next to the paid version that are out there. I've used it in both capacities for streaming gaming to twitch, as well as an educational stream over twitch through both schools and colleges.

Pros

The fact that OBS Studio is free and open source. It has tons of support and a very well rounded community backing its use. Any issues using the software is quickly solved by the great cupport community. Other than this the software is very intuitive and easy to use, especially if the main purpose is streaming, and screen sharing across a stream.

Cons

The issue I had with the software was calibrating OBS audio so that there were no delays in the streams audio. The good thing about this however, is there is a built in audio delay where you can purposefully delay someones audio so it matches the delay of other person streaming or recording. Not only is audio delay and issue, but audio sync with the video being streamed, but this has got far beter with each version update.

### "The Recorder and Broadcaster's Homeland: OBS Studio, the Free Resource"

August 19, 2020

5.0

OBS Studio is the successor to the original Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) application, delivering a lot of serious Quality of Life benefits to the software and allowing for a more Professional Grade look while also not having nearly as many problems as the original OBS suffered from; while OBS Studio suffered in its earlier years because many of those who adopted to this from the original OBS were on noticeable lower end hardware (such as myself), the performance handicaps that it suffered from have only dissipated over time as computer hardware evolved and allowed for more accessibility; now plentiful games, applications, and videos that were attempted to be recorded and/or aired using the software five years ago are noticeably easier to run now and that is essential towards the future of its life going forward. In 2016, I personally used OBS Studio to get back into Live Broadcasting, with me even recording the first and only North American commentary of Star Cruiser (Sharp X68000) on the application in July of 2019, and with the improvements that have come as it evolved, I can easily recommend OBS Studio to anybody getting into any form of Yellow Collar work; it may require some messing around with the settings to optimize certain projects, but the end result will always pay off far better than anticipated, it's not often that one finds free resources such as this and OBS Studio will forever remain on your person if you need to record or go on the air without a hitch.

Pros

~ Virtually Lossless recording quality when capturing footage locally in any available framerate and resolution provided by the software. ~ Plentiful visual effects and the ability to layer multiple images and clips allows for a Broadcast Quality and Professional Grade template and appeal for any project or Live airing. ~ Customization of User Interface themes allows for proper Eye Care when in Dark Mode. ~ Users of the software who are running an Intel CPU that has QuickSync will see a reduced load on their Graphics Card by about 05% to help improve performance and stability in GPU~intensive workloads.

Cons

~ RAM consumption is high and not meant for modern systems with 016 GB or less without the proper CPU and Graphics Card combo. ~ Users who have a CPU and Graphics Card with a low core/thread/pipeline count, frequency, and VRAM can expect noticeable framerate dips and massive performance instabilities, especially when using hardware that is running on older architectures. ~ Footage may occasionally get inexplicably cropped Horizontally when imported into Vegas Pro and other video editing software for Post~Production. ~ Not fully compatible with all forms of Video Capture devices, Webcams, and Professional Grade Cameras (though there are workarounds for some forms of hardware).

Switched from

[OBS Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/164144/OBS/)

As stated, I upgraded to OBS Studio from the original OBS, the latter of which was optimized better for lower end CPU/GPU/RAM combos while Studio handled the more Heavy Duty workloads on HEDT (High End Desktop) systems; while there are some production elements that make OBS Studio feel a bit more limited than Classic OBS (certain features in Classic OBS were not carried over to Studio), the upgrade to Studio was ultimately a mandatory situation, as the original was getting discontinued at a certain point and many users had to force themselves to get used to the new platform in a similar fashion to how many websites may change their layout and API every year or few. Overall though, the transition from Classic OBS to OBS Studio was a smooth one, though I am still critical of the fact that Studio lacks certain features and display mechanics that were done better in the original; in the event that these are ever brought back, then I will happily change my mindset on Studio as it is at the time of typing, both incarnations of the software are good in their own right and a Hybrid of the two would be an ideal change for the software going forward.

### "OBS Studio for The Gaming Podcasters out there"

January 18, 2024

4.0

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.

All in all OBS is an exceptional software, very stable and I would easily recommend it to other users.

Pros

OBS provides all the necessary tools for content creators such as being able to stream straight to the most common websites like Facebook and YouTube, it also provides editing tools so that even without third party softwares I can record and edit my video all inside OBS.

Cons

The only shortfall for me is that OBS can sometimes be CPU intensive and so I high earned laptop is recommend when using this software.

August 18, 2021

5.0

My ability to stream content and record live events from my PC has been phenomenal thanks to this software... it's easy to use and tons of fun once you get totally used to it.

Pros

The best screen recording software in the game. Add different audio sources, change backgrounds accordingly, livestream with ease... you got it all in one with OBS Studio. Connect any of your favorite social media platforms to use livestream and you'll be totally impressed with what you get, no other software does it better.

Cons

I honestly have no qualms or cons against this software, I have yet to find any.

### "Free and relatively painless"

July 30, 2019

3.0

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.

### "Not only FREE but intuitive"

November 18, 2022

5.0

I absolutely LOVE OBS Studio. It's like a gift from the heavens. It's completely FREE with the option to donate to its development because it is an open source program. All it took to get started was to watch a few how-to videos on YouTube for the setup I was going for and BOOM! We're in business.

Pros

OBS Studio is FREE. Let that sink in. It also does more than other paid software I've used in the past (Bandicam). I can screen record and live stream it to social media platforms. If I need to capture the audio coming out of my Digital Audio Workstation, I simply have to put a plugin called Reastream from ReaPlugs at the end of my master channel to route the audio out of my DAW and into OBS Studio.

Cons

It can be a little tricky to setup how you want it but YouTube has a plethora of how-to videos showing you how to setup OBS Studio in various configurations.

November 16, 2021

I love OBS Studio software, I am glad it's available for Windows Desktop users.

Pros

First of all, I love that OBS Studio is free software and it allows me to capture my screen and do LIVE recordings for my YouTube Channel. I'm sure there is an upgrade feature somewhere, but I just need the basics to keep me going with my YouTube videos.

Cons

It was challenging to to use OBS Studio. I guess like with all new technology there is a learning curve. However, I started watching some YouTube videos and I did look at videos from the OBS YouTube channel and I eventually got up and running!

Utilizzo obs ogni giorno essendo io una streamer, creo contenuti sul portarle TWITCH e tramite OBS posso davvero rendere le mie dirette fantastiche e piene di contenuti interattivi, riesco anche a creare delle registrazioni per i miei diversi canali come ad esempio Youtube oppure posso registrare tutorial informatici da poter condividere con i miei abbonati. Senza obs non vivo.

Pros

La capacità di poter gestire ogni singola fonde sia audio che video contemporaneamente, le linee guida che permettono di posizionare con estrema precisione ogni oggetto che viene inserito, le mille funzionalità dei filtri e tutti i plugin che vengono continuamente creati. Lo trovo davvero PAZZESCO.

### "Why is OBS Studio is the best free recording software for gamers?"

October 11, 2022

5.0

Well I have been using it since 2017 and it has improved a lot over the years. To this day this program is the only recording software I use. I record a lot of Sims 4 gameplay and it works wonderfully. I just have to adjust a few settings and it gives me no issues. It also works great on Linux and other operating systems. The best part of this program is that there are no ads and no paywall to get unlimited recording time. You can record however long you wish and it is free. There are no watermarks or distracting ads unlike other recording software out there. This I would recommend overall a nine out of ten on a scale. Very easy to use and install and export the files to YouTube.

Pros

I like how easy this program is to download and install. Go to the official website and download it. Then in a few clicks of a button you are in the program. You can figure the fps and the quality best for your computer and then hit record. The default it puts recording format .mkv but that can be easily changed to mp4.

Cons

One bad feature is the CPU can randomly spike up to 50% when recording games in higher graphics. This mainly happens on lower pcs but can be fixed by lowing the quality of the game and the recording software.

OBS has been amazing and has really made Facebook and YouTube streaming quite simple. It has also eased video editing and capture. Generally, I love it.

Pros

OBS is quite easy to use and integrate in everyday video livestreaming and content creation a walk in the park.

Cons

OBS does not have dedicated lower thirds which are important in some streaming applications and requires third party integrations which are sometimes not guaranteed to work. It would be nice if OBS had default lower thirds plugin.
