"Stable and Versatile Streaming Solution for Linux"
5/5
What do you like best about OBS Studio?

I like that OBS Studio is stable and has an active community where you can get help, advice, and great plugins. The community creating plugins allows us to do essentially unlimited things with OBS. I also really like how it integrates seamlessly with JACK Audio in Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OBS Studio?

The UI is really dated. I would also like some kind of plugin manager to make it easier to see what plugins are installed at a quick glance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it’s very slow, with almost a 5-second delay on live events. It’s also hard to manage multiple camera workflows, because the UI could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Bit confusing at first but with time very powerful"
5/5
What do you like best about OBS Studio?

Open broadcaster is a powerful piece of software for doing streaming and screen recording. I can now do quite complex live screen recordings and UI demonstrations quickly. I now use the software every couple of weeks. I can easily integrate different video sources and automatically switch between different 'scenes' by browsing around my computer. The recordings are output to the video folder and then can easily be dropped in powerpoints. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OBS Studio?

Quite a steep learning curve as this is unlike other software it isn't the easiest to use. It took a while to understand how the interface works and what you can do with it. As on open source product there isn't much in the way of customer support that I'm aware of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very "open" software"
5/5
What do you like best about OBS Studio?

OBS Studio is one of the most complete and customizable streaming softwares out there. It helps me set up my streaming settings and scenes in the blink of an eye. While it may not have that many integrations with streaming platforms directly, like showing new followers, sub numbers etc., it's really easy to use some third-party softwares like StreamElements to make it possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OBS Studio?

Some settings might be a bit confusing to new people, who will need to look up what they mean, but honestly the auto configuration works really well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
