Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There is nothing good about this software. It is not user-friendly, has terrible connectivity, there were always issues with sound every time I used it, and their customer service is completely unhelpful.
  • Once you get used to some basic concepts, it's very easy to set up multiple "camera angles" and channels of video content, including Picture in Picture, and perhaps most usefully, overlaying two video streams with the front one with a transparent background. For example, to put you the presenter in front of your powerpoint slides so you can point at things, and still advance the slides. Switching between channels is straightforward, either a fade or a cut, and you can edit a channel whilst broadcasting on another, which is great for adjusting the green screen when the light has changed, and to place your three PIP participants for the next round of an awards ceremony. The resultant broadcast can go anywhere you want it to - I've used it with Zoom, GoToWebinar, Teams, and Hopin Has useful features like bottom third (your name and title) and clocks.

Cons

  • Difficult user interface, connectivity issues, problems with sound echoing or no sound. Terrible customer service. Exchanged multiple emails with them and they were unhelpful. I tried calling the corporate number and left many messages and no one ever responded.‘s It seems like they don’t care about keeping their customers happy.
  • Since it's on your computer, all the streams have to come to your computer before they can be combined and broadcast out, which could create problems with bandwidth if you have a lot of external feeds. It took me a while to get used to setting up multi-layer (Picture in Picture) channels, and I only found out you could edit one channel whilst broadcasting another in the last couple of weeks.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Can do everything you want and more. The greatest piece of open source software I know. Nothing bad to say about it.
  • I mainly use this for live streaming on Twitch and YouTube. I love the fact that it is free to use and for me it is the best software to use for anyone who is looking to live stream or record. It is also great for those people who do podcasts.
  • Has many features like adding input and output. Free software with these features. Available on multiple OS Windows, Mac and Linux.
  • -They have a very clear tutorial on their website -Once you have everything set up, it is very easy to use the exact same settings by saving profiles and scenes -Automatically exports your videos to a folder you choose -Very versatile in usage -It's free
  • Highly customizable - You can install plugins, and edit OBS as you like. Open source. Totally free - you don't need to pay a single penny. Integration with streaming services (Twitch, YouTube, etc.)

Cons

  • Nothing bad to say about it, really. The documentation and error handling could be improved, but given some time they probably will.
  • I do not think it is the easiest software to adjust to and there is a slight learning curve but once I took the time to learn all the features and how to use them it became the perfect software for me. I also think it lacks features that allow for people to easily set up their live streams.
  • Bad user interface. Hard to use. Very heavy on CPU and GPU.
  • -Learning curve -It's a very heavy software, so not every computer can handle running OBS and getting smooth results
  • No cons for me, at least. I haven't found any issues.
