Screen recording & streaming
OBS Studio
A flexible studio for screen recording, camera capture, presentations and live streaming.
Record your screen and create live productions
OBS Studio combines screen recording, cameras, microphones, application windows and other sources into a single video production environment.
It can be used for everything from a straightforward desktop recording to a live presentation involving several cameras and screen layouts.
OBS works with scenes and sources. A scene might contain the entire desktop, a webcam and a logo, while another shows only a particular application window. Users can switch between these scenes while recording or streaming.
Audio sources can also be controlled separately, which is helpful when combining microphone sound, application audio and other sources.
Why we selected it
OBS Studio is extremely flexible. A beginner can use it simply to record a Windows desktop, while advanced users can construct sophisticated streaming and recording setups. That scalability is one of its greatest strengths. For tutorials, software demonstrations, presentations, game recordings or live streams, OBS Studio is one of the most capable open source tools available.
