"Still Doing the Most for Its Customer Base"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

I really enjoy the platform as a whole. For the features that are packed in the paid version, it's very easy to navigate and pretty user-intuitive while still being able to be customized to the needs of a person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

There could be a few more features added if you're not interested in paying for this platform. Many streams who start out do use this, are on a budget but free trials could offer a bit more incentive into getting the paid version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A tool for streaming, even corporate streaming."
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

We use Streamlabs, it is a tool that really helps a lot to professionally broadcast all our webinars. It is very similar to OBS but it brings several other tools that help especially those new to the subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

If there is something negative to rescue, Streamlabs has too many options that we don't use in a business setting Plus, it wants to sell you its Prime all the time, which is logical in a free tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not good enough to support the plagiarism, predatory business model"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

Between the ease of access to things like a quality chatbot, layouts, and donation tracking, Streamlabs provides new live-streamers with significant tools they can use to grow and get started. These tools, while not providing much customization beyond layouts design, do serve as a foundation to build a more robust streaming presence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

From a practical perspective, the software solutions are extremely bloated and unreliable compared to other live-streaming software. These solutions be replaced easily with better tools by those who know how to implement them, and communities exist to help smooth that implementation process.

Holistically, multiple other livestream services have provided evidence that Streamlabs plagiarizes their features and their marketing copy. While these business practices do not disqualify the software, they make the decision to support the company untenable if better options exist elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlabs is a great resource for streamers of all kinds!"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

I stream online a lot from websites such as twitch.tv and Streamlabs is great because it's easy to use and helps to set up alerts such as followers, subscriptions, and donations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

The only things I don't like about Streamlabs is that it can be tricky to setup the first time and it can be difficult to figure out how to setup certain aspects of it sometimes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good tool but has performance issues"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

This is a really simple tool to use. It has a lot of really great options for streamers. It's much more intuitive than the other OBS-type tools out there, even right out of the box Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

Streamlabs runs very poorly on my computer. My laptop is somewhat middle of the road, but it brings all of my other apps to a standstill. You shouldn't need a top of the line setup to run this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlabs is good, but can be better. It's an amazing tool."
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

I like the many options and ways to be creative. The people that work at Streamlabs are very supportive. The app is constantly updating itself and provides access to new themes and screen overlays. I like how it can now incorporate youtube and Facebook as well as Twitch... More platforms would help Streamlabs in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

I don't like how it auto-updates. If i am scheduled to go live with guests waiting, that's not the time to have an app just decide to do an update. Often those updates require re-setting some preferences. Notify a user that an update is available, but let the user do a stream beforehand, and don't mess up his/her use of the application.

"Finally a good streaming software"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

Over the previous version (obs studio) streamlabs is a completely rewritten version from the ground up. It is not written in electron and that comes up with more easier plugin development too. However this is not mandantory becausd the software itself features a lot of new features like 1 click go live. Donation, follow and like alerts, ndi support, and a lot of new things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

If you switch to the preview mode to check out the scene before you go live, that will be very resource hungry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My go to when I stream"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

Stream labs takes everything that used to be complicated to new streamers and simplifies it to "click & drag what you like" prompts. It takes out a lot of the formatting or coding issues that were faced in the past with other streaming applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

Although I appreciate it giving you a guideline for how to set up a stream. It can get complicated if you don't want something to be exactly the way streamlabs set it up for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At First, about 2 years ago, Streamlabs was a CPU hog but has since proven itself as a stable platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
