Media & creativity / OPEN-SOURCE PROJECT GUIDE
OBS Studio
Your broadcast. No gatekeeper.
Record your screen and build live streams with scenes, audio mixing, and flexible capture sources.
Why it matters
Puts a capable recording and broadcasting toolkit in the hands of creators, educators, and communities.
The honest heads-up
OBS is a recorder and broadcaster, not a full video editor. Encoding settings, capture permissions, and hardware affect performance.
Your first small step
Run the auto-configuration wizard and make a short test recording.
