OBS Studio Reviews & Product Details

I use OBS Studio for reliable screen capture during meetings, and I love that it's free. I appreciate the high control I have over recording devices and the ability to choose to record a specific screen or window. It records any audio sources, including wireless headsets, and I can even set up a virtual camera playing a video file. It's a great piece of software with extensive features for streaming and more complex tasks, even if I don't use those myself. I find it particularly valuable that the files produced by OBS Studio are small, which is a great advantage over other recorders like the Windows screen recorder. The initial setup was simple, just answering a couple of questions on the wizard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it complains about my hardware. I guess it's a bit complex to use and has a high learning curve. For example, it is possible to record a specific region on the screen, but it is not very easy to understand how this works. I was able to do it once, but had to reset the configuration to get it back to how it was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use OBS Studio mainly for streaming, recording, and mirroring screens through the output mode. What I like most about OBS Studio is streaming and adding and playing SRT & NDI Inputs. Since I work in live broadcast production, we mostly use SRT Feeds, so the option to integrate the feeds directly saves us a lot of time since we don't have to rely on SDI inputs and waste our I/O cards. Also, being free, it helps solve budget issues for some projects, and the initial setup was extremely easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After every update something breaks, maybe the features can be stress tested before deployment so that it doesn't break the existing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the simplicity of use and design of OBS Studio. It's free, which is a huge plus for me. I'm also impressed by how easy the initial setup was. I use OBS Studio for recording games in good quality and possibly streaming them as well, and it helps me manage both tasks efficiently. I love that it offers a lot of settings to manipulate the video and streaming quality and handle different kinds of inputs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

This program requires your computer to be fairly powerful, and it can cause your device to get warm while running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
