    Compare OBS Studio vs Streamlabs OBS

    in General Discussions

    Following is the comparison of


    OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software)

    Even if you are new to live streaming, most likely you have already heard something about OBS Studio. This free, open-source, high-performance broadcasting program is basically the parent of all modern streaming software. So it shouldn’t surprise you that SLOBS and OBS have almost the same code except for a few tweaks here and there. Let’s start with the advantages of using OBS Studio.


    The pros

    ➕ Open-source code

    Open Broadcaster Software was officially released back in 2012. It is open-source, which means developers can create customizable plugins and awesome effects. These can surely improve your stream’s quality and attract more viewers.


    ➕ User-friendly interface

    The OBS Studio interface is fully customizable, from the position of the screen to the size of the windows. Simply drag and drop every element of the workspace. Moreover, the variety of settings allows you to configure the program to meet your specs, including the common FPS rate.


    The cons

    ➖ Low variability in plugins

    Although the OBS Studio interface is user-friendly and straightforward, it comes with a significant downside. The software lacks a variability of perks, like chats and customizable themes, also called the overlays. Yes, there are ways to add these, but unfortunately, the plugins don’t come in the package.


    ➖ No Windows XP support

    Sad but true! Unfortunately, OBS Studio doesn’t run on Windows XP. Not that many would find it a huge minus, but we had to inform you.


    SLOBS (Streamlabs Open Broadcaster Software)

    Streamlabs OBS is basically an improved version of the good old OBS Studio. The guys from Logitech tried their best to take into account the smallest flaws and fix them. And they did a great job, we have to admit! Now let’s skip all the praises and get down to business right away, shall we?


    The pros

    ➕ Easy setup process

    Streamlabs OBS takes the old setup process to another level. All you need to do is follow these five simple steps:


    Download the installer on your PC.

    Run the installer.

    Once the installation is completed, link your streaming account.

    Run the optimizer (automatically adjusts the settings).

    Add your stream key and run the stream!
