Because of its popularity, OBS Studio has a lot of available content on the internet so any questions I have are easily solved with a quick search. I use it to record myself for trainings, to record my screen for multiple reasons, and even to live stream when necessary.
Pros
The easy screen recording capabilities allows me to save and edit my training videos and it's easy to understand.
Cons
Nothing. OBS is essential software for screen recording, and even live streaming.

I use OBS to do my live stream on my sports channel and it has made my work easier. The OBS Studio has some benefits, the quality of video being recorded are high and has multi-stream capability thus making my work easier.
Pros
The artwork in OBS is on another level, and what made me attracted to this software is the greenscreen tool its fantastic it enables you to change your background in an amazing way especially when you are live streaming.
Cons
One of the features that normally make me bored is the feature of multi-streams whereby it requires a quality graphic interface card and it's not that easy especially when doing doubles streams.

OBS allows easily collaboration between employees new and old with varying degrees of knowledge about the project being performed. This program has allowed time to be freed up for other tasks, that would have been spent dealing with the mundanities of video editing.
Pros
The ease of use and access is among the most attractive features. New employees are easily acquainted to the system, even those with quite minor experience in video editing, as the system is very straightforward. Though it is straightforward, there is a large amount of depth for those familiar with more complex video editing software, making OBS Studio a great video editing software to have in the office; it works well with newer, inexperienced employees as well as with older veterans of the industry.
Cons
OBS's lack of variety of plugins is rather disappointing, yet also not extremely needed. The system's nuts and bolts are so well built that it is rare for a member of our team to think of a plugin they would like to have, but it is frustrating to think of a service that would be desired, yet does not exist native to the program or as a plugin. Thankfully, in these situations, OBS has a lovely customer service team that can be reached out to with recommendations for future features, as the team is always improving the software.

My overall experience was extremely positive with this software. OBS Studio is a dream come true for content creators, streamers, and anyone looking to capture or broadcast their content. With its user-friendly interface, limitless customization options, and low resource usage, this software has become an integral part of my content creation toolkit. I highly recommend OBS Studio to anyone looking for a reliable, feature-rich, and affordable streaming and recording solution.
Pros
Using OBS Studio was a welcoming experience for me. First of all, what you get as a user for free is outstanding in itself. One of the standout aspects of OBS Studio is its extensive customization options. The software provides a wide array of sources to capture, including display captures, webcams, images, and even browser windows. The ability to create multiple scenes and seamlessly transition between them has elevated the quality of my streams to a whole new level!
Cons
Well again, OBS Studio is open-source software, making it accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget. If I had a con for this software, it would be a few rare times, my screen froze up a few times when I was adding in layers in the main screen.

I have used OBS for years and love that it is constantly changing and evolving. I use it at work and at home and found it to be one of the first programs I install on any computer I use. The fact that it is free makes it even better.
Pros
The ease of use is what I like about this product. There are times when I need to customize the layout of what I am trying to record and it's great for putting things in layers. It is easy to set up and start recording or streaming with just a few layers to setup.
Cons
The part of OBS that might need a little work, is the "decks". When I stream twitch one of the decks would be stream information. If I close that deck down and try to find it again, it's not easy to find. So I have to close down OBS and reopen.

I mostly like that it is FREE. And is easy to use, don't have any of "pay to have" moments.
Doesn't ruin performance of device you are using, while recording. It is easy to setup, really customizable. And very streamer friendly! All good about this app!
Cons
Probably that new users can have problem with understanding Scenes and all that about making right scene to record or use. But thats is learnable!

I am always happy with how things turn out using OBS Studio. Every livestream I have ever done has always worked...knock on wood... and it has worked with all of my video and audio equipment.
Pros
OBS is free open-source software that is remarcable. I only use it to stream my student recitals to YouTube and Facebook and it always works. When I first started using it, it was a lot harder to use and not so user friendly but now it looks and feels more user friendly.
Cons
What I liked least about OBS Studio is that it can be hard to fine the setting that you are looking for and you must read or watch some videos to understand what it is you are looking for.

Ease of use/ Friendly User Interface
Reviewed on 2023/09/21
Pros
Personally, i love using OBS Studio because it has a very sleek, cool-toned user-interface and features that are very easy to understand and navigate through, especially for beginners. The one feature I particularly enjoy using is the camera switching mode. At times when I'm video-streaming my church service and trying to manage our social media pages at the same time; using OBS to switch from one camera to another works so fast and smooth. Takes me off panic mode while working.
Cons
So far, I have not seen anything to dislike in particular about OBS Studio.But I suggest that some animated text-input features should be added.

We have been enjoying the use of OBS to stream our new products. It is simple to use and once you use OBS you don't have to look at any other streaming softwares.
Pros
We as a business have to stream a preview of our new products on a time to time basis and OBS makes it just easy to screen capture, video capture, audio recording and also the integration to upload videos directly to YouTube is a plus feature. We have never looked at any other software after using OBS.
Cons
I can't think of any cons right now regarding the OBS Studio. It is a good software.

Lots of flexibility with a minimal learning curve
Reviewed on 2024/06/24
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.
