"terrible support staff. RUN AWAY and Find a better product live OBS"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

I guess it's sorta easy to use. You still have to google a lot of settings that they don't just have it set up for ease of use. The support staff isn't that great or bright. It took them a week to tell me what I already knew that there was a issue with the login service. But they didn't care and I couldn't use the program for over a week before they let me know they were finally working on the issue since it's affecting more people. Go figure right Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

support staff were no help. i can log in to streamlabs.com via the facebook log in but on the application for stream labs i get an error. its curretly 1.4.0 on the version. Ever since the update nothing but issues. they want to tell me its a facebook issue and to contact them even though it only doesn't work via the stream labs app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Are All Streamers SLOBS ... Or Do They Use It?"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

INTERFACE

If you use the open-source Open Broadcast Software (OBS) for livestreaming, the interface of Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) is simple and easy to understand. Virtually everything is intuitive and therefore you can get up and running very quickly.

THEMES/FEATURES

You can choose from several elements to get your output exactly the way you want. OBS, in contrast, requires a lot more knowledge, experience and paid apps to achieve similar results.

SETTINGS

The other really helpful aspect of SLOBS is that unlike OBS, where you have to optimise your settings, this is handled AUTOMATICALLY.

DRAWING/ANNOTATION

This is a built-in feature and not requiring a separate memory hungry application.

ALERTS

Interaction with your audience is crucial and getting alerts on events within your Broadcast is essential. SLOBS makes this not only easy but customisable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

To be honest, there's nothing that I dislike but I switched to Streamyard because I simply prefer their ease of use and feature set to SLOBS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlabs - free and advanced streaming and video recording software"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

The customisation is great, you can do just about anything you can imagine. The layout is similar to OBS, which those of us oldtimers will find easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

The complexity is both a good thing and a bad thing. It means there's a ton of customisation, but it also means it can be a bit of a pain and take some Google searching to figure out how to do what it is you want to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not as functional as free OBS"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

I stream on multiple platforms at the same time, Streamlabs can do this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

I tested Streamlabs OBS for four days at my church and found that it didn't have the same level of functionality as free OBS. I created 4 or 5 short streams of less than 5 minutes. They only way I could test it for my church was to subscribe. Since it did not function as well as regular OBS I requested a refund. I was denied. If you want a refund of the Prime version you must request it within one hour of your subscription. How can you test all of the functions in one hour?

If you have the Pro version you can cancel up to 14 days after you subscribe. But the more expensive Prime version cannot be cancelled for a refund. So now my church is stuck with an annual subscription for a product that won't work for us.

I would STRONGLY recommend using XSplit if you need dual streams. The tech support people there will work with you almost immediately. I was testing Streamlabs OBS because the interface looked simpler, I need other people to fill in for me. I guess it's simpler for a reason. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streaming easy, robust features"
What do you like best about Streamlabs?

The features available make me wonder why anyone would use another platform for streaming. This works great when you are running a live stream for YouTube or Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Streamlabs?

It requires a bit of technical knowledge. The UI is a little wonky and not as intuitive as it could be, should maybe take some hints from NLE software. Audio features get a little confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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.
