Open Broadcaster Software – Professional Screencasting Utility
One of the
biggest trends in gaming over the last few years has been
screencasting—broadcasting your screen online in real-time as you play. Whether
you're a pro or just getting started, it's a great way to get feedback. To get
started with screencasting, try Open Broadcaster Software. It's got all the
tools you'll need to stream anything, including full-screen games, windowed
games, and even your desktop.
What is OBS?
Open Broadcaster Software is free and open source
software for recording and live streaming. Source code is available to everyone
to contribute and improve. Both 32 and 64 bit versions are available and it's
absolutely free.
The application offers support for various streaming
services, such as Twitch, iNSTAGIB.tv, DailyMotion, CashPlay, YouTube,
CyberGame and Hitbox. It can help you record videos from various sources; you
can integrate image slideshows, texts, game captures and webcam streams in the
output, as well as record a running application on your desktop.
You can easily change the order of the sources, adjust
their position on the screen (center, align left or right etc.), remove or
rename a source. The preview function enables you to take a look at the
generated video before proceeding to actually broadcasting it online.
The application features video and audio encoding
options, allowing you to set the quality balance, the maximum bitrate and
customize the buffer size. Additionally, you can change the streaming
resolution and choose the monitor to stream from, adjust the FPS rate and
customize the streaming delay.
Other options are related to configuring the microphone
settings (mute / unmute, auxiliary boost, time offset, push-to-talk and more),
changing the audio-video options (modifying the keyframe interval, using custom
x264 encoder settings, customizing the global audio time offset, using
microphone QPC timestamp).
Settings profiles can be created and saved for later
loading and the application can be instructed to automatically reconnect to the
target server.
