CONSĪs said, sometimes it lags the computer a bit if you didn't set up the whole thing correctly. H264, and that's one of the best things about it. Rookie streamer, if you're reading this and want to take a challenge, download and install OBS right now, it's the best solution for your project if you're on a tight budget. You can add a capture device, you can capture your own desktop, a window, you can even add GIFs, images and videos and resize them or drag them through the screen.

The software was using a lot of ram on my laptop at first, but after tweaking the settings a bit, it became really lightweight. About video, the settings for streaming are useful if your internet connection it's not too good or if your PC/laptop it's not the most powerful out there. On audio, you can set different audio tracks, separate them and record them. I like to think about OBS as a solution for basic or minimalistic projects. The whole package its free to use, while limited sometimes, if you learn how to set it up (Wiki and guides are really useful on the official website), you're good to go.

I used a lot of streaming software at first, skipping OBS for no reason, but when I tried the software I was in awe. I started using OBS while doing a film series in my city, the project was open to the public, but the pandemic forced me to turn the thing into an online project. While looking at the stream I really thought it looked professional, and I was very satisfied. It was a slow learning curve and at first really confused me, but OBS Studio was the best solution for my project.
