I prefer OBS to system-default recording methods because I can set OBS to record specific screens and audio sources. When multiple programs are contributing to recorded audio, I can use OBS to raise/lower the volume of audio pulled from certain programs. It's handy when multiple people are on a call and talking over one another; I can keep change their individual volumes without altering the volume of their voices in the recording. > > **Cons**: There is very little that I don't like about OBS Studio. Sometimes I have to reset the folder that files are automatically saved to. It changes back to the default option more often than I'd like. > > My experience with OBS has been nothing but positive. It's free, open-source, easy to learn, and quick to use, and it produces high-quality video and audio recordings. I appreciate that it's so simple but allows you to customize the audio levels of different audio sources. ----- ### "Best Software App For Gameplay Streams" — 5.0/5 > **Gift** | *9 January 2023* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most I like in the software is the ease of the interface and user-friendly features. It is very easy to learn and compared to other screen recording apps I used, it has more detailed features. I also like the shortcut keys for any commands I need while streaming. > > **Cons**: The small fonts sometimes that I have to read and there must be a way to enlarge them but I haven't found out where. > > Very good experience, always my top choice for streaming purposes. ----- ### "Obviously a Big Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Simone** | *24 February 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is free and this is a huge difference for people who wants to start their streamer experience > > **Cons**: Only that maybe it can be easy to restart a streaming service without doing so many steps, maybe automatic when sometimes the network fails and then is reconnected after a second. > > It has been a big help during the pandemic season when I discovered it and I started to do many useful things for my job by remotely on a streaming platform. ----- ### "The best for both seasoned streamers and amateurs" — 5.0/5 > **Cynthia** | *4 January 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is great for personal media management or large broadcasts. The great stuff is personalization as it adjusts to the needs of every event or stream that you need to prepare, keeping the settings in a single machine. > > **Cons**: It could be a bit more intuitive or implement some automatization. > > As mentioned above, I use it for both work and personal endeavors. I keep coming back to it and prefer it over other media management software. Until something better comes in the horizon (which hasn't been the case) I'll stick to it. ----- Page: 1 / 44\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/102890/obs-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/102890/obs-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
