About OBS Studio

OBS Studio is open-source software for recording video and broadcasting live. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux and can send streams to Twitch, YouTube and many other providers. The OBS Project is supported by sponsors and backers.

What OBS Studio offers

  • Scenes and sources — builds scenes from webcams, capture cards, images, text, browser windows and window captures, with custom transitions between them.
  • Audio mixer — applies filters such as noise gate, noise suppression and gain to each source, and supports VST plugins.
  • Studio Mode — lets the operator preview and adjust scenes before they go live.
  • Multiview — shows eight scenes at once so any of them can be cued with a click.
  • Hotkeys and docks — assigns shortcuts to actions like scene switching, starting recordings and push to talk, and allows the dock layout to be rearranged.
  • Plugins and scripting — offers an API for native plugins and for scripts written in Lua or Python.

Key facts
