Usable for both streaming online and also recording videos offline. Being able to create separate scenes with their own sources is very handy, as sometimes I want to use OBS for streaming (which would have a different scene setup), and sometimes just screen recording. > > **Cons**: Has a tough time handling inconsistent internet speeds, and can fail to recover a stream if the internet drops out for a second. Sometimes it streams at a higher bitrate than the settings specify. ----- ### "Lots of flexibility with a minimal learning curve" — 5.0/5 > **Joshua** | *24 June 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: When we need to push out video content that is guiding/assisting our sales staff with new processes, OBS makes it quite easy to achieve. After a quick 15 min crash course with our staff that want to use OBS, it is fairly easy to help them build and push out learning material for our retail team members. > > **Cons**: It can be at some times a little tedious to use for particular users but nothing that can't be resolved over a quick 15-30min crash course on the proper usage of it. ----- ### "A great tool for the starter streamer" — 4.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *8 May 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The access to free tools that let anyone go live and stream to the biggest streaming platforms on the internet > > **Cons**: The user interface feels like it can still be improved to make new users understand all the tools that are actually available > > I can quickly and easily make changes to my set up to adapt with whatever I may be wanting to stream that day ----- ### "Absolutely a WINNER Broadcast Software" — 5.0/5 > **Swagat** | *22 April 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I absolutely love about OBS Studio is that it is a open-source software which is completely FREE to use. And, the features and services it offers, I bet it can beat any other premium paid softwares in the market. > > **Cons**: There is literally nothing that i like least about OBS Studio. It is an amazing broadcasting software you could use for FREE. > > Personally, I have used OBS Studio for at least 4 years during my video creation journey on Youtube. ----- ### "Yes is free, but your time is not. Keep in mind that while downloading it" — 3.0/5 > **Francesco** | *2 June 2026* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: OBS being free is the first choice if you need a solution for your streaming video and screen capture. > > **Cons**: Still the interface is not as user friendly as you may wish. This alone may want to go to paid solution if you plan to work of videos and streaming on a daily basis. > > A practical, easy to install solution with a lot of headache if you are not a nerd and want an easy plug and play solution to stream and record your videos. ----- Page: 1 / 44\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/164144/obs?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/164144/obs) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
