Cons
While you can install it on low-end computers, you will not be satisfied with it OBS Studio OBS or Open Broadcaster Software is the most popular streaming application out there that might suit your needs perfectly. It is open-source, completely free, and has an excellent list of features such as free video recording, live streaming, is supported on multiple platforms, and lastly, it has the option to have multiple streaming screens.
For broadcasters, YouTubers, and streamers, if there’s one application that can solve all their streaming needs, that one app is OBS Studio. It is a powerful tool that allows you to create a stream or a video by letting you choose multiple screens, multiple webcams, images, windows captures, or browser windows.
If all of that is not enough, OBS comes with a few more capabilities such as supporting the most popular streaming platforms, including YouTube, Mixer, Twitch, and many more. If we say that OBS is the prime choice of streamers and content creators, we would not be wrong about it.
The user interface may be tricky for a beginner, but if you have a basic idea about how streaming works, you will get started in no time at all. It might be confusing, but you can find your way around very quickly if you dive a little into it.
OBS Studio provides all the necessary tools including any filters that you might need for your audio or video. For audio, it provides noise gate and noise suppression. For video, it lets you control it however you want. Additionally, you can set your hotkeys as you wish, for doing multiple actions such as shifting between screens, muting/unmuting audio, pausing/continuing stream, and many more.
However, if you have little to no experience streaming and are getting started on this end, it would be a good idea to first record a few test videos and check them out yourself before putting them out there.
Once you get the hang of it, OBS Studio really shines and takes the throne above any other similar app. If you are looking to start streaming and gain an army of followers on your desired medium, OBS Studio will be your best companion.
