OBS Studio
OBS Studio is free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording. Capture, mix, and broadcast video with pro-grade tools used by streamers and creators worldwide.
OBS Studio is the gold standard for open source screen recording and live streaming. It supports unlimited scenes with multiple sources — webcam, display, browser, audio, and more — making it equally suited for game streaming, tutorial recording, and professional presentations.
Unlike Camtasia or Loom, OBS gives you full control over your recording setup with no watermarks, no subscriptions, and no limits on output length or resolution. Advanced features include a built-in audio mixer, scene transitions, and a powerful plugin ecosystem.
OBS runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and integrates directly with Twitch, YouTube, and most RTMP-compatible streaming platforms.
