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

Pros

  • N/A.

Cons

  • They don't even deserve the one star! How could you say the players didn't followed your criteria of new player, never downloaded the game in the past, never played it, and must download the game using the campaign link by the streamer and when I dared your team member i will send all the proof that the game downloaded by my players were new, never played in the past and downloaded it using my link and suddenly you ignored me already and decided the missing events in my campaign wont get paid!!
