Basic Setup Guide

OBS Studio is a feature-rich free and open source broadcasting program. It is used primarily to encode and transmit audio and video to streaming platforms, such as Twitch, YouTube, or Glimesh, but it is also capable of recording content as well. It is one of the most valuable tools in a streamer’s arsenal. I’ve covered OBS extensively, so that you are able to get the most out of this program.

Easy to set up and use
Powerful features for advanced users
Extensive and comprehensive documentation in multiple formats
Huge user base and development team

Weaknesses include:

Advanced features can be frustrating to inexperienced users
