Anyone Can LiveStream With StreamLabs

Overall, we have used, and continue to use Streamlabs OBS fo streaming our band concerts. We found it very easy to integrate multiple cameras and set up ReStream.io feeds.

PROS

What I enjoyed most about this software was how comprehensive the functionality is! It's got a lot of features that are honestly astonishing to find in free software. The Prime version adds even more to it.

CONS

What I liked least about Streamlabs OBS was being able to find the functions I needed. I struggled locating things in the interface because I didn't "get" the iconography. Once I figured out where all the tools were hiding and learned the lingo, I was good to go.

Reason for choosing Streamlabs

I liked the interface and the "marketplace" selection of themes and overlays offered with Streamlabs version - it was also easier to find support online for Streamlabs' fork of OBS (back when I started using it, it was just a fork.)

The OBS for the not so "technical" ones

The overall experience can be summarized in that if you want to live stream content for any platform. You want to save the technical steps and want to drag and drop valuable widgets for your streams, you should choose Streamlabs, because of the level of simplicity of being able to stream and how easy it is to interact with your audience with this software. Happy streaming!

PROS

Streamlabs is the platform that I would recommend to anyone to stream content to one or several platforms, due to its versatility and how easy it is to stream live and let the platform adjust all the technical aspects with just one button. The software interface is very user-friendly, as it has this section to add widgets, where you can put either the chat, objectives, what game you are streaming, goals for the channel, etc. It's an OBS for non-techies.

CONS

Now, it is true that I personally prefer OBS more, because of the customization you can create for your streams. I say this because, in Streamlabs, you can achieve customization for the stream, but not as "technical" so to speak, as in OBS. Another thing, let's see Streamlabs as if it were google chrome, we have this incredible browser that does everything in a hyper-fast way, but you sacrifice the resources of your computer. The same thing happens with Streamlabs, it uses too much CPU which can overload your computer tasks and not achieve an efficient stream. So, if you have a reasonably powerful computer, you won't have that much of a problem in this section.

Reasons for switching to Streamlabs

For the level of customization you can do to your streams, and for how effective it is to be able to make customizable settings depending on the needs of your computer.

Made Stream Unwatchable, App Is Buggy Mess

Streamlabs ruined my stream for the duration of time that I used it. It is a bloated ungodly program that takes avantage of the open source code for OBS and uses it to create an unwieldly product that looks pretty at first glance but which does a worse job than vanilla OBS itself. With vanilla OBS, my stream is smooth. With Streamlabs, it is laggy and absolutely unwatchable, to the point where I would often just turn my stream off and give up. I wish I had realized earlier that the solution was just to go back to vanilla OBS, use the Streamelements plugin instead, and watch my problems disappear. Here's my stream with Streamlabs on [SENSITIVE CONTENT] And here it is on [SENSITIVE CONTENT] immediately after I stopped using Streamlabs and went back to vanilla OBS with the StreamElements plugin: [SENSITIVE CONTENT]. This is actually a stream of the local recording I had made while TRYING to stream initially on [SENSITIVE CONTENT], so it's literally a direct comparison of the same video content While I was using Streamlabs OBS, I would constantly experience dropped frames (often in a stream that went on for a couple of hours, 29% of the frames would be dropped) causing my stream to be an ugly laggy mess that I sure know I wouldn't want to watch. Like a fool, I chased the internet company, thinking my upload speeds were the problem, but they were not. It was Streamlabs bloated program running a million processes related to features I wasn't using.

PROS

it has all of the fun toys and alertboxes and bots that Streamelements would have

CONS

29% dropped frames consistently for months. Unwatchable App updates would cause things like the Start Recording button to stop working Too bloated, way too CPU heavy Customer support is trash

Reasons for switching to Streamlabs

As soon as I started using vanilla OBS with the Streamelements plugin, all my dropped frames/CPU usage/broken app problems went away

I love streamlabs!

Overall, I love Streamlabs as my tool for streaming on Twitch. It has everything I want it to have and is likely going to get the things I want it to have overtime going by their own updates. Highly recommended for new and old streamers.

PROS

I've been using Streamlabs for the majority of my gaming hobby. Though I did and still do use OBS for non-gaming streaming, Streamlabs just had a nicer look, offered more, and felt, overall, more put together. The settings also feel a lot more clean and easier to find.

CONS

It doesn't, yet, offer recording the game and camera separately, requiring them to be connected in the recording, which isn't always fun for editing.

Reasons for switching to Streamlabs

Streamlabs was easier to use and looked nicer.

Great When Starting Out

PROS

When it comes to tech, especially like this I wasn't really sure what I was doing at first, and most of the time you're doing it by yourself. The learning curve for this software was really low for me, and it was easier to use than its competitors. If you are just getting into streaming then this is a great beginning/practice software.

CONS

The customization after you first choose the themes you want for your channel is non-existent unless you deal with their paywall. As someone who is cheap and hates paywalls, I have found ways around it that aren't exactly the easiest to work with, but for now, it'll do. If you hate paywalls yourself, understand SLOBS definitely has one even though they market themselves as free.

Reason for choosing Streamlabs

I chose Streamlabs because of its supposed ease of use for newbies. It was pretty easy to use honestly, and I'm still using it now. Once you have it set up the way you want it, everything gets quite a bit easier.

Great Product / Extremely Easy To Setup

I have been using Streamlabs OBS to live stream my DJ sets for several years and I absolutely love it. I find that it is more geared toward content creators that just want to put something up quickly that looks professional and allows you to go live without much hassle at all.

PROS

I love how easy it is to import custom themes and make changes in my templates or objects within my scenes.

CONS

There is nothing I can say that I don't like about Streamlabs.

Reasons for switching to Streamlabs

While I liked OBS and found it very powerful. I wanted something a bit easier that didn't seem to require as much configuration to get going.

Streamlabs: Making streaming accessible

I used Streamlabs for many years, and barely had any trouble using it. It receives a ton of updates and improvements all the time, and they never break your presets and options, thankfully.

PROS

Streamlabs was easy to just pick up and use, it guided me on the first steps but never railroaded me during the setup, which allowed me to make informed choices and get things the way I wanted them to be.

CONS

A lot of useful features might be behind the paywall, and while it may seem steep at first, once you get your bearings in the streaming world, it becomes a very worthwhile business expense.

this is why streamlabs is the best streaming software.

overall experience i would rate this program 9/10, it is a good software to stream and stay closer to your followers, and i really recommend streamlabs for you.

PROS

I'm using this program for a long time, I usually use it for my streams or even recording gameplays, to be honest, this software is perfect, easy to use, quick..the software gives you free overlays to start with, and i really liked that, I love how they are supporting content creators, you have the ability to stream on multiple platforms, record videos, and replays, and also you have performance mode, you can enable it if you don't have a good enough device. here are some of the best ''features'' that i love : ● ability to stream on multiple platforms. ● free version. ● free overlays to start with, you just need to click install and everything will be ready. ● easy to use. ● performance mode to save your device resources. ● many servers to stream with. ● record replays or last 2 min, videos. ●Real-time Broadcasting. ●optimized settings. and there are so many of course...

CONS

I'm not gonna lie sometimes the servers bug, when i try to stream they say error ''check your internet'' even my internet working, but I'm not sure if it is my internet problem or the software...in case that happens to you just restart your device, your internet, and everything will be good.

One Of The Best Streaming/Recording Programs

Overall I'm very satisfied with Streamlabs. I've been using it for years now and don't plan to change because of how effective it is. It's multifaceted for those who want more control over their streams and recordings but can also be learned and used by a beginner in a matter of minutes. For anyone that wants to get into livestreaming or anything involving recording things on their computer like podcasts or video games then Streamlabs should be one of the top options for you.

PROS

What I liked most about this software is just how effective it is at what it does. Whether you want to live stream or record footage it can do that and with numerous additions to better show your personality like changing the layout of your video, add effects, overlay other media, and many more. While it can be a little overwhelming with its options, it's not a necessity to change things as the default options will still do the job. It's also a widely used program so if you wanted to learn more about what certain options do you can easily look it up.

CONS

The only thing I dislike about this software is I have a bit of difficulty with trying to separate different audio tracks. As someone that edits my own recordings and wanting to separate the tracks for editing purposes it can be a struggle to divide the audio of certain programs. An example is trying to separate a Discord audio call from a video game's audio and my microphone, giving 3 separate audio tracks. I can't seem to find a way to do that in the program, and if it was possible, it would be one of the best features available.

One Of The Best Stream And Recording Programs

Overall my experience with Streamlabs has been very good. It does what it's supposed to do, gives me a variety of options to make my recording and streams as much to my liking as possible. Although it has a few misses like its complex nature and a few missing features, it's still one of the best programs if you want to live stream or record footage.

PROS

What I liked most about this software is its vast customization options. There's a lot of things you can do to make your stream or recording as much to your liking as possible, and there's also 3rd party applications as part of Streamlabs that you can install to give you even more options, themes, icons and other customization settings. You can add multiple audio and video sources, connect to YouTube, Twitch, Mixer and other streaming platforms. It also works very consistently and is updated fairly often.

CONS

Features that are missing are options like multistreaming by default. It would also be helpful to give some information on certain settings to help tell what they do for the inexperienced users.

PROS

CONS

L'Alleato Essenziale per Streamer

PROS

Come streamer appassionato, ho avuto l'opportunità di utilizzare Streamlabs e sono rimasto profondamente colpito dalla vasta gamma di strumenti e funzionalità che questa suite offre per migliorare l'esperienza di streaming. La prima cosa che ho notato di Streamlabs è la sua interfaccia utente intuitiva. È ben progettata e facilmente comprensibile, rendendo la configurazione e la gestione delle trasmissioni in diretta più accessibili anche per i principianti. Le diverse funzionalità sono organizzate in modo chiaro, consentendo agli streamer di concentrarsi sul loro contenuto senza dover affrontare una curva di apprendimento ripida.

CONS

Nonostante le numerose qualità di Streamlabs, ci sono anche alcuni difetti o limitazioni che è importante considerare. Streamlabs può essere piuttosto esigente in termini di risorse di sistema. Le trasmissioni in diretta e l'utilizzo di funzionalità avanzate possono richiedere una buona quantità di CPU e RAM. Questo potrebbe causare problemi di prestazioni su computer meno potenti o datati. Mentre Streamlabs offre integrazioni con molte piattaforme di streaming popolari, potrebbe non essere compatibile con alcune piattaforme meno conosciute o specializzate. Gli utenti che utilizzano servizi di streaming meno diffusi potrebbero dover affrontare alcune sfide nell'integrazione.

CONS

Stream and recording need a good system so if you have a bad system you can't record and stream. They need to make a good encoder.
