We are able to include multiple streamers simultaneously

Pros

This is the best tool to stream from your console and have all of the overlays without having to build a streaming pc with a capture card. The pricing is reasonable and they have plans for every level of streamer.

Cons

My only real complaint is where was this when the PS4 launched, we would have been a customer day one instead of buying a studio level machine.

Pricing and functions

Reasons for choosing Studio 2

One of our biggest wins by using the creator license is the ability to have multiple players feed their stream in so that we can mix and match the players on a single stream.

Our experience with Studio 2 has been nothing but positive. All of our contacts we've had with the company have been straightforward and everyone we've spoken with has been very helpful.

Pros

Creating various overlays for our multiple streams and allowing us to stream natively from consoles made things incredibly easy.

Cons

My only gripe is that you cannot copy/paste specific scenes into different projects. However, I am told this feature is coming soon!

I am newly trying this app to see if I would switch from OBS.

Pros

I'm trying out this streaming app. I am currently an OBS user.

Cons

I haven't found anything yet. It's got everything OBS has.
