If you can think of something to do, OBS can likely handle it > > **Cons**: The updates don't always work or are compatible with the setup I have had, making me have to redor my entire layout > > Incredibly positive and would likely never actually switch unless they stopped being able to do anything ----- ### "Great experience with OBS" — 5.0/5 > **Madi** | *April 8, 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The customization, easy to read layout and plugins. > > **Cons**: Learning it can be hard at first. And there’s many things going on on the screen, but in the end it’s worth it. > > I’m really happy that I started with OBS studio for my streaming journey\! ----- ### "Easy to use and get started" — 5.0/5 > **Tanner** | *May 1, 2025* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Open Broadcast Software is an out of the box, easy to use software to get started live-streaming to your desired platform. The vast amount of customization offers unlimited creativity and fun to add to your stream. > > **Cons**: OBS offers what can seem overwhelming of an amount of features. I’ve been using this service for 5+ years and I still find something new every week. > > Simple to use out of the box with limitless customization. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to get started live-streaming or recording from their PC. ----- ### "OBS is Studio Stream-sational" — 5.0/5 > **Destiny** | *December 7, 2025* | Broadcast Media | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The OBS app is 1 of the best tools, by far, that I've been able to find that gives you probably the widest range of functions available on the market\! With OBS you can sync your usual broadcasting fees to the software \& give yourself the ability to then integrate so many different features that you almost couldn't find a way to use them all if you tried. From its overall performance and broadcasting quality \& speed, to using a digitally implemented green screen \& even quality adjustment options, you really CAN live broadcast to your fans with almost studio like quality\! > > **Cons**: The only suggestion that I would find to be useful to new OBS users, would be if there were a more comprehensive \& expanded downloadable .pdf user and functions manual. Or even a more expanded "hints" segment when initially logging on so that it can teach you about all of the various uses \& functions available to the user. > > My overall opinion of OBS Studio is that it's honestly served me more useful \& way better than any other streaming application or software that I've attempted to use this far. As a content creator \& frequent love broadcasting cam model, if I had to suggest an app that anybody could use \& never be left disappointed, then my choice would be OBS Studio by an longshot\! ----- ### "OBS is too cumbersome to love." — 1.0/5 > **Theresa** | *March 25, 2025* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: OBS is a powerfully unique tool that has the ability to support a livestreamer's unique vision. > > **Cons**: As an I.T. professional, I was up for the OBS setup challenge. The experience was absolutely terrible... and wasted a LOT of my time. There's a gigantic learning curve. I couldn't ever stream to youtube without errors and never could fix the fb settings to have it work. I removed OBS from my 2 laptops. It's concerning it's open source as well as all the plugins, which could easily lead to viruses being placed on devices by hackers. Too many individual plugins are needed to get the most out of it. > > Absolutely horrible. After weeks of trying to overcome setup issues and finding the right plugins, I uninsalled it. I tried another livestreaming tool and was able to setup and stream across 3 platforms in a couple of hours. ----- Page: 1 / 44\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/164144/obs?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/164144/obs) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
