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
- kevinmgranger 5y agoWhat was/is #1? I know Streamlabs OBS is sometimes cited as a popular alternative, but that's more or less a distribution of OBS.
- adamrezich 5y agoxsplit 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
- ev1 5y agoxsplit 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)
