(1-10 of 10)OBS - a streaming musician’s best friend.
- Easy to use overlays and on-screen elements.
- Easily customizable.
- Attractive layout with simple and intuitive navigation.
- Easily switch between several pre-made “scenes”.
- Old-school broadcast media options and functions for a trendy and modern medium.
- I would really love the option to select and “preview” the next scene in queue before switching to it - much like an old-school Television switcher.
- An option to have customizable colour schemes for the interface would be helpful.
- The ability to use multiple scene transitions - hard cuts, fades, wipes, etc, and being able to use them freely between takes.
Free, Unlimited Recording

OBS for synchronous learning content

- i wish mic choice would show up in the window. sometimes the wrong mic is selected and notice too late (after recording)
OBS Studio Review

- Computer screen recording
- A hub for collectting source and broadcast
- Multiple sources not working at a time.
- Sometime the program makes us confused that its running or not. [Sometimes we can't tell], is it running or has it stopped recording or stopped streaming! And sometimes we need to force to quit OBS Studio .
- Commands not working sometimes.
- Frequently updated.
OBS Studio: Cross Platform Flexibility
- Picture-in-Picture
- Scene Changes
- Lots if resolution settings
- Help finding the right resolution setting.
- Help understanding virtual backgrounds.

OBS lets audiences OBServe you at your best
- OBS Studio makes it easy to connect with streaming service providers
- OBS Studio makes it easy to switch from source to source during your broadcast
- OBS Studio makes it easy to design and edit what your viewers will see.
- As a FREE product, there is really very little to improve upon.
- It would be great if multiple devices could be networked.
- Maybe the user interface could be a bit prettier, but it is very functional.
Love my OBS
- Allows for custom backgrounds.
- Scrolling and moving information.
- Quick and efficient duplication of slides.
- Sometimes the way the individual screens are highlighted, to move them is sticky.
- Better compatibility with MAC OS.
- Make it less taxing on CPU/memory.
I think you're best suited if you want to do a detailed customized presentation, with the end-user logo and information in mind, almost as if you are sitting at a news desk. It doesn't take the place of a PowerPoint so there are certain circumstances where a PowerPoint presentation without much need for video is better.
This is especially handy these days when more remote workers are wanting to present in a professional style as if they were "in person"
OBS, the only studio you need!
- Very easy to add different sources for both video and audio and arrange them.
- Easily convert (remix) recorded files into a different format.
- Sometimes when you close the program, it doesn't fully close, which causes issues if you try to open it again. Then you need to force quit to resolve the issue.
- Frequent updates, but they are pretty quick.
OBS, a powerful and free livestream solution
- It is easy to start with a product that is free, there isn't the financial overhead to get started with it.
- There are a lot of plugins that you can use to add lots of custom functionality. You can make your broadcasts whatever you want with it.
- The quality of the videos that come out of OBS studio is very high, I am very happy with the results I get with it.
- The UI can be improved, the layout can be made a little more intuitive
- There is a high learning curve, the process of learning the program can be made easier
- The process of installing and incorporating plugins can be improved.
OBS Studio - Great option for those evaluating the ROI of streaming, or streaming veterans
- Simple and ease of use - get streaming pretty quickly
- Multiple options for sources - if the switcher goes down or you need to switch over to a different external input, you can default to another file or image, or just keep all your inputs 100% in OBS
- Options for bitrate and output size easy to find and change - great if your internet signal isn't great, you can adjust accordingly
- Being able to record simultaneously - eliminates the need for an external recorder
- More control over queuing extra sources, if using a video file, perhaps timecode and countdown cues
