Considered Both Products	Open Source Mantra Manan Saraswat Product Manager in Product Management at 100ms (Computer Software, 51-200 employees) Chose OBS Studio Only one reason which is that OBS studio is free and open source and we had team members capable of using it effectively. Other softwares have great prebuilt features which make it super easy to go live for small streams and individual streamers. Incentivized Helpful? Hayden LeMaster Owner/Operator in Professional Services at LeMaster Graphics (Marketing & Advertising, 1-10 employees) Chose OBS Studio I've tried both Meld and Bandicam in the past. But OBS seems like the best to me. I've been using OBS for a few years now, it's nice that it's free :) not opposed to paying for good software, but OBS seems to be the best of the bunch and it's free, so I've stuck with it … Incentivized Helpful? Louis Schietekat Founder and Tutor in Product Management at Cambrifun (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose OBS Studio I've used Zoom to capture my screen on video. Although the tool is obviously not primarily built to fulfill that function. To capture basic tasks on video, zoom could do the trick but as soon as it gets a bit complex or lengthy, or you need to use multiple video inputs, I would … Incentivized Helpful? Bobby Matheson Owner/Operator at BucketHat Media (Media Production, 1-10 employees) Chose OBS Studio OBS is far more customizable and user-friendly than any other broadcasting software I have found. It keeps things simple while allowing you to customize your layout exactly how you want it - there are more user-friendly options, but none with the customizability of OBS. I would … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose OBS Studio I have also used TinyTake by Mango Apps and I prefer OBS studio because the video quality results are better and OBS allows you to record an unlimited length of the video. OBS also lets you record an entire screen instead of manually having to draw your parameters, which can … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose OBS Studio I first was recommended beta version of mmhmm but it was not available for Windows OS. I tried it when it became available but it was too late for me to switch and I stayed with OBS. OBS did everything I needed and it is free Incentivized Helpful? MD Rafsanjani Rahi CEO in Professional Services at Tour Group BD (Leisure, Travel & Tourism, 11-50 employees) Chose OBS Studio I have never use anything like OBS Studio. This is very easy to use. I just saw some reviews online and downloaded OBS Studio. This is free for download, easy to run, no virus and no watermark.OBS Studio is a great programme for advanced users and there are no time limits. Incentivized Helpful? Joshua Welsh Assistant Professor at Central Washington University (Higher Education, 1001-5000 employees) Chose OBS Studio OBS is the only robust screen capture with a stable graphical user interface that works on Linux (that I could find). That's why I originally chose it. Since the program is cross-platform, I have been able to keep using it. I could switch back to Panopto, now that I am on … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose OBS Studio We checked out a lot of alternatives, which were simply too expensive for us when we are just in the startup stage of livestreaming. Incentivized Helpful? Charles Beck Vice President, Sales in Sales at Tredent Data Systems, Inc. (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) Chose OBS Studio The fact that it's free is helpful and it is so unique with the level of technology it provides for such a low cost that it is worth trying. Now that we use it every day, why know that there is a paid professional version that offers even more features. I didn't do a hard … Incentivized Helpful? Steven Shulmister Co-Founder \| Head of Research \| VP, Operations in Research & Development at VGM (Market Research, 11-50 employees) Chose OBS Studio Webex has its uses, particularly when meeting viewers need to participate, but we always use OBS Studio when they don't need to interact (just view). Incentivized Helpful? Seth Paine Web & Media Developer at The Coming Home Network International (Religious Institutions, 1-10 employees) Chose OBS Studio OBS takes a lot more work to get started with than Google Hangouts, but you get a much more high quality output from it. It even works better with YouTube than Hangout, which is odd since it is also owned by Google. You can not set a poser image on a YouTube live stream when … Incentivized Helpful? Travis Gray Owner/Producer in Professional Services at 106 Studios (Media Production, 1-10 employees) Chose OBS Studio Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder (obsolete, clunky and not always clear what's wrong when it was giving us issues) Wirecast (too pricey for what we needed) Incentivized Helpful?
