OBS is a streaming software that allows you to stream live content (audio and video) to various online platforms. I have used OBS to live-stream my original music to YouTube as part of a university project. Doing so, I found it easy to use and navigate after taking a little bit of time to explore the software, and become familiar with the interface.

I like that OBS allows you to get the content you want to livestream to your preferred platforms in an easy and orderly fashion. I used OBS in conjunction with Logic Pro X, and it managed to stream the content clearly to the YouTube live with no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a beginner when it comes to live-streaming, trying to navigate the OBS interface, and get the desired audio and video to stream to YouTube was a little challenging at first. Although, with help of a couple of YouTube tutorials, and exploring the software, it became easier to navigate and configure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a simple to use screen recorder for live streaming or any other purpose. Simple to use, clean looking and very beginner friendly. Just click and start is its best USP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although the interface is friendly, but there is too much going on screen and sometimes its really hard to find few options and menu. Also there is no inbuilt video editor to edit videos. It lacks when we want to record our face using camera as well. Also no option to draw on screen and use obs for recording simultaneously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The upside is that it is highly customizable. This being said, if you are not familiar with configuring software to get what you need, it can be cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful is that there isn't an easy way to learn how you need to have things setup. The fact that I can easily source inputs from remote locations and non-native applications was amazing, once we figured out how to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Main feature which I liked is - It allows offline video recording and also streaming that video according to your cnvenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First, you can't beat the price of OBS - free! Second, it's incredibly powerful, and reasonably simple to operate. I say reasonably because it does require some setup to be fully functional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

OBS is very overwhelming at first glance, so expect to take some time in setting up and running your first stream. It's complexity is both a disadvantage and an advantage! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
