(Good – and a major difference with a lot of horrible startups.) Tips and donations to content makers go 100% to you – no cut for Streamlabs.

So, since this is free and open source, what’s the business model?īasically, you can grab this for free and have a nicer version of OBS. (PS, you can beta test 20.04 LTS right now and help them squash bugs before what I think will be a very essential global pandemic stay-at-home OS release!) I have no idea how much work would be required to do the same with Streamlabs. Linux users should meanwhile note that OBS packaging has improved a lot across distros, and Ubuntu Studio for instance even bakes a pre-configured OBS right into the OS. It’s based on Electron, so I hope that now that macOS was added, we’ll see Linux, too. The spin here of OBS is open source, like its sibling. Think similar cross-platform streaming support, importing OBS settings from desktop, and adding widgets for events, donations, and chat.

The mobile apps also feature a lot of nice integrations on these lines, too. The easier-to-follow Sources dialog alone is probably worth the price of admission.

So it doesn’t feel like a dumbed-down version of OBS so much as a polished, beginner-friendly interface with all the same features – and some useful additions. Honestly, having played around with it a bit, maybe the best part of Streamlabs is that all the power of OBS is there, but easier to use.

Cloud backups (so you don’t lose your recording).

Built-in chat (normally requiring you to open another window in OBS, which gets surprisingly clumsy fast).

Themes and widgets for customizing your stream.

Custom alerts (so you can also ask for donations, add engagement).

Pre-configured streaming platforms and easy login (think YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc.).

So in addition to all the things that make OBS powerful – using any video source or onscreen inputs, switching between them, handling resolutions and recording as well as connecting, you get: Looks like OBS – but 100% less intimidating. And then by adding mobile access, those platforms become easier, too. So while you could do all of this on OBS desktop, Streamlabs makes it easier – basically, it’s a bit like having a custom distro of OBS.

It’s got its own desktop apps based on OBS, plus apps that let you easily stream from Android and iOS, too.

But it’s still a bit intimidating as far as configuring settings for recording, to say nothing of the manual settings required to then make it upload to various streaming platforms. OBS has gotten a lot easier – a cash infusion from Twitch, Facebook, NVIDIA, and Logitech no doubt helped. (It quietly displaced a lot of pricey and often incomplete commercial screencasting software, too.) Open Broadcaster Software, aka OBS Studio, is indeed free and powerful – not only for streaming but live recording, too. Mention live streaming any time in the past year or so, and someone no doubt told you to use OBS. Now you’ve got Streamlabs – and it just added Mac support to its other platforms. Start with OBS, the now industry-standard streaming app, and add a bunch of special sauce to make it easier and friendlier.
