OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is a free, open-source software application used for video recording and live streaming. It allows users to capture, mix, and broadcast audio and video from multiple sources—such as cameras, screens, images, and audio inputs—to platforms like Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live. OBS is widely used by streamers, content creators, and broadcast professionals for its flexibility, lack of licensing fees, and cross-platform availability (Windows, macOS, Linux).
