### Pros

"The access to free tools that let anyone go live and stream to the biggest streaming platforms on the internet"

"A practical, easy to install solution with a lot of headache if you are not a nerd and want an easy plug and play solution to stream and record your videos."

"When recording the screen you can get clear audio and the flow of what is being recorded is not slow, good FPS and above all not having watermarks in the middle of the video."

### Cons

"It is a fight to configure the docks in the space you want them and many times the configuration is not supported so it wastes precious screen space."

"It's concerning it's open source as well as all the plugins, which could easily lead to viruses being placed on devices by hackers. "

"Has a tough time handling inconsistent internet speeds, and can fail to recover a stream if the internet drops out for a second."
