> Special thanks to the developers at YouTube for working with us directly on the initial implementation of this feature [YouTube integration] and helping to make it a reality this is pretty cool to see, OBS sure has come a long way in such a short time

It’s essential to the well being of several very well funded companies so no surprise.

Yep, not surprised to see this added when Twitch account integration already existed. Much less typo-prone than copying your stream key in, along with all the convenience features you get.

Since YT wants to be a direct competitor to Twitch and OBS is the #1 tool to stream it makes perfect sense.

  is OBS the number one stream tool these days? I've been out of the loop for many years and when I was keeping up with things it was the up-and-comer but not the dominant tool by a longshot. if it's #1 now that's awesome

    What was/is #1? I know Streamlabs OBS is sometimes cited as a popular alternative, but that's more or less a distribution of OBS.

      xsplit used to be popular iirc, and I think there were more too. looking xsplit up now on Wikipedia I see it's had a complicated history since I last used it

        xsplit not only was compromised repeatedly and collected billing details and was a pay monthly to use software, but also just kind of .. never innovated, ever. no new features, ignored requests, ignored feedback while they were "king" long ago. mandatory watermarks, inability for kids/teens that want to stream to pay for it even if they wanted to - no offline payment methods, no way to purchase a key without a credit card type of thing. was also not cheap/forgettable tier of pricing - i believe $15/m? back in the day people went off to ffsplit (ffmpeg-based free version?) and obs (before obs was as polished as it is today, but it was free)
