I use ShareX and I use OBS - there doesn't seem to be a huge overlap in functionality?
ShareX - screen capture and screen recording.
OBS - streaming (and lots of related functionality).
I'm guessing you were using OBS for screen recording - but that's not really close to it's core feature set.
- hsudhduhsh 3y agoi use obs exclusively for your sharex use case.
- imtringued 3y agoI use the gnome screenshot widget.
- ehsankia 3y agoA lot of people use OBS for screen recording. I do think ShareX is extremely limited unless you want to record something super simple. OBS' ability to compose a whole scene, dozens of different capture methods, overlays, full audio mixer, transitions, etc. It's the perfect place to record any sort of desktop-based video. It's far far more than just "screen recording".
- Shorel 3y agoI don't see anything wrong with using OBS for screen recording. I use it for streaming as well, but having it installed, I also use it for recording when I need it. Also for video capture from the webcam. OBS can do no wrong to me.
- andybak 3y agoYeah - I guess I hadn't really considered it for that task. I've only used for live stuff personally and I hadn't made the connection with screen recording per se.
