OBS Studio
Free and open source software for video recording and live streaming.
OBS Studio is a free, open-source application for video recording and live streaming on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It supports streaming to platforms like Twitch and YouTube, with features including scene management, audio mixing, and high-quality encoding. A plugin API allows extensibility via Lua, Python, or native plugins.
Users build scenes from multiple sources (webcams, windows, capture cards, etc.), configure audio and transitions, and stream or record using high-performance real-time encoding.
