Likelihood to Recommend From simple streaming to bigger events, OBS has been able to handle all of it with full confidence from us. Have never questioned if it was going to be unreliable in a specific situation, even with minimal training. Software identified the external input source easily and had no issues setting that up (Blackmagic Mini Recorder), and great for pulling in separate audio from the computer input.
Read full review Streamlabs is perfect for generating multimedia content with common elements such as cell phones, web cameras, PC screens, etc. By allowing video from multiple sources to be shown at the same time, it is perfect for example for technical product demonstrations. In the scenario described, parcticity is prioritized. However, if the proposed scenario is to generate high-quality multimedia content, you should use professional equipment for video, sound and editing.

Read full review Usability Very usable because it is free and has had a lot of people helping to suggest improvements and sponsors have allowed the product to grow in sophistication and suitability across a variety of situations and use needs. It is very logical to use once you get started, although the dashboard can seem intimidating at first.
Read full review Support Rating For a free product, a range of support is available. There are plenty of ways to find out answers to questions, because there are probably thousands of people using the product who are willing to share what they have learned. It usually works as designed, so needs for support are limited.
Read full review Alternatives Considered I have also used TinyTake by Mango Apps and I prefer OBS studio because the video quality results are better and OBS allows you to record an unlimited length of the video. OBS also lets you record an entire screen instead of manually having to draw your parameters, which can create oddly sizes videos if you miss by a few pixels.
Read full review Although Adobe Premier Pro is a product for video professionals, it did not present the possibility of performing LIVE as Streamlabs, in addition to the fact that Adobe is a paid version exclusively. Streamlabs was more in line with our objectives as it is a tool aimed at the common user and not just professionals.

Flexibility is probably the biggest benefit to the people that use it. Read full review Even though it is a free Open Source software, the features have been excellent.
