What we love ❤️
- Robust set of features for capturing, editing, and broadcasting video content

- Allows for professional-grade live streaming with options for encoding, resolution, and bitrate
- Completely free to use with no limits on functionality or forced registrations

Worth noting 💡
- Requires some technical knowledge to set up and configure for optimal performance
- Can be resource-intensive, especially when streaming at high resolutions and bitrates
- Limited built-in video editing capabilities, may require additional software for complex post-production
OBS is an exceptionally powerful and flexible open-source tool for anyone looking to record, stream, or produce high-quality video content, without the need for a paid subscription or feature limitations.
