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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

  • ScreenRec is simple to set up and does not require much time to learn. It is simple to record the screen with microphone or webcam sound and convenient to share the finished videos. The absence of watermarks and recording time limits is also beneficial for longer tutorials and training videos.

  • Instant Cloud Access Minimalistic Design No Watermarks No lagging or Stuttering Available on All Platforms
  • 4K Screen Recording. No Lags. Records Without Watermark. Made for Video Messaging. Available on Windows, Linux and Mac. Zero Cost. Free Cloud Storage.
  • ScreenRec has a lot of pros. Some of them are: Ad-free Lag-free Watermark-free Free cloud storage Lightweight

Cons

  • The editing tools are rather limited. If you are in search for a tools that ensures advanced effects, editing and annotations, ScreenRec offers only basic annotation and editing.
  • No advanced editing features but it does have annotations
  • I didn't encounter any issues with it. It's a complete tool.
  • Lack of editing features, otherwise a must-have for all.
  • Despite having the ability to annotate and insert comments, it lacks of in-depth editing features.
