The amazing OBS Studio, now on Steam!

As a user who has over hundreds of hours (and over 600+ videos) with the standalone version of OBS (user since 2017), this is the program to get if you want to make content. It's free and it's easy. In fact, it's so easy that an idiot like me can use it. And if you have trouble, there is a great community that will help whatever issues you have.

For existing users: Speaking as one of those who were worried the switch from standalone to Steam was going to be complicated, it wasn't at all. All your settings are saved between both the standalone and the Steam version (except for some custom themes, but I managed to fix that within seconds), so no worries about having to reconfigure anything during the move. Personally, once I ran the Steam version and saw that all of my settings were intact, I just uninstalled the standalone version (which solved my custom theme issue for some reason).

And the real bonus is that once the Steam version is installed, you can still make run OBS without Steam! I just made a shortcut from the .exe located in the Steam installation folder. In fact Steam doesn't even track OBS being run if clicked from oustide of Steam.

I highly recommend OBS, especially over all the scummy half-baked products out there that waste your time, and more importantly, waste your money.
