A Dynamic Tool for your video streaming preference Plus its "Open Source"

Realizing that I can still perform the functions of automation the way I want, I found ease in automation and usability with my team. OBS is a powerful and Dynamic Video tool I can recommend to any similar service provider within the niche. It is simple and consistent, its advanced features are mesmerizing, and its Open Source
Pros
First, I like that Its open source, and with that, it's user-friendly and consistently undergoing integrations to smoothen the user experience.
For advanced users, It serves advanced functionalities even while it is an Open source project
OBS hardly forces shuts down while in runtime.
One of the best features for me is customization. I like that I can tweak my automation with my timelines, to fit my needs.
Cons
Because the product is open source, the latest version upgrade comes with changes in syntax. i.e., Having a lower-third animation function, the commands change with a new update, and it can be difficult to get the product started if you do not visit the developer's forum to follow through with the changes.
If you want to implement most settings/preferences to take effect, you may have to restart OBS, which is normal with most software.
Reasons for Switching to OBS Studio
Having all the advanced functions in an Open Source software, with the feature of customization to fit my business needs is Gold for me.- Industry: Media Production

I started using OBS in the heat of the pandemic. Clients wanted me to help them stream live to their customers. Easy to setup and move. I'm glad it was recommended to me.
Pros
This product was a recommendation from a friend. I love the fact that is was so easy to use. It does not require a lot of expertise to be able to navigate through. Love it
Cons
I did not like the fact that you have to download plugins. I would've loved if they were integrated into the software.
