introduction

Record the blogger’s personal experience of using OBS Studio for live streaming.

Software Description

Intercept an overview from Wikipedia:

OBS is a free and open source software package for recording and live webcasting. Written in C and C++, OBS provides real-time source and device capture, scene composition, encoding, recording, and broadcast. Data transmission is mainly done through the real-time messaging protocol RTMP and can be sent to any software that supports RTMP, including streaming sites such as YouTube, Twitch, Instagram and Facebook.

OBS is more powerful than the live broadcast software of major platforms, and can live broadcast on almost all platforms. The live broadcast screens of many full-time anchors are carefully arranged through OBS

For us users, we need to focus on its open source features:

  • Open source means we can get the software for free with no additional investment (those who ask you to pay for it are scammers and bad guys!)
  • Open source software of this size usually has a relatively stable ecosystem. If you encounter problems, you can ask questions on the forum, or you can use various third-party plug-ins according to your needs.

Basic use

OBS download

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and there are four different ways to download OBS.

Official website download

Although it is very simple to download software from the official website, I think this is the basic skill of modern human beings to surf the Internet. Please do not download things from websites that inexplicably carry pornographic gambling scam advertisements!

Enter the OBS official website and choose your own platform to download. Here I also directly give the download link:

Windows MacOS (Intel) macOS (Apple Silicon) Linux

steam download

OBS was launched on steam some time ago. You heard me right, you can even download OBS Studio on steam:

Search OBS Studio directly on steam, enter the page and click to get it:

github download

As an open source software, how can it not have the famous github? Search OBS Studio on github to enter the Release interface, select the platform and version you need to download the most original software installation package:

It should be noted that without magic, the download speed should be slower. This download method is not recommended for ordinary users.

Tsinghua mirror source download (recommended)

Since OBS is open source software, but it has no magic and is very slow to download, why not ask the magical Tsinghua University open source software mirror station ?

Search OBS Select and Download:

Screen push

Live broadcast room optimization

Recommended third-party plug-ins
