This saves me a lot of time answering the same questions repeatedly. > > **Cons**: It can be difficult to set the audio levels at first. I filmed some videos that were way too quiet (whilst using a headset microphone) and I had to refilm. > > Overall for a free software I am really impressed. It is easy to use out of the box. I have recommended to several colleagues who have also enjoyed using it for tutorials and walkthrough videos. ----- ### "Best Software App For Gameplay Streams" — 5.0/5 > **Gift** | *9 January 2023* | Music | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The most I like in the software is the ease of the interface and user-friendly features. It is very easy to learn and compared to other screen recording apps I used, it has more detailed features. I also like the shortcut keys for any commands I need while streaming. > > **Cons**: The small fonts sometimes that I have to read and there must be a way to enlarge them but I haven't found out where. > > Very good experience, always my top choice for streaming purposes. ----- ### "Obviously a Big Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Simone** | *24 February 2025* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is free and this is a huge difference for people who wants to start their streamer experience > > **Cons**: Only that maybe it can be easy to restart a streaming service without doing so many steps, maybe automatic when sometimes the network fails and then is reconnected after a second. > > It has been a big help during the pandemic season when I discovered it and I started to do many useful things for my job by remotely on a streaming platform. ----- ### "OBS: Objectively, the Best Video Recording Software" — 5.0/5 > **Caleb** | *14 April 2025* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use OBS to record video and audio from client calls. I prefer OBS to system-default recording methods because I can set OBS to record specific screens and audio sources. When multiple programs are contributing to recorded audio, I can use OBS to raise/lower the volume of audio pulled from certain programs. It's handy when multiple people are on a call and talking over one another; I can keep change their individual volumes without altering the volume of their voices in the recording. > > **Cons**: There is very little that I don't like about OBS Studio. Sometimes I have to reset the folder that files are automatically saved to. It changes back to the default option more often than I'd like. > > My experience with OBS has been nothing but positive. It's free, open-source, easy to learn, and quick to use, and it produces high-quality video and audio recordings. I appreciate that it's so simple but allows you to customize the audio levels of different audio sources. ----- Page: 1 / 44\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/102890/obs-studio?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/102890/obs-studio) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
