I like how OBS has subsumed (often low-quality) screen recording apps for me; apart from the apps original intent for streaming

If you build OBS from source and would like more than a 3-band equalizer without a plugin, I've still got my eq8 branch getting stale here:

https://github.com/phkahler/obs-studio/tree/eq8

I should rebase that...

BTW they do not want it upstream for whatever reasons. I'm not complaining, I get it. But some of us like this built-in so I'm keeping it around.

If anyone is using/testing WebRTC I would love to hear how it is working for them :) I am hoping Simulcast makes a impact with smaller streamers/site operators.

* Cheaper servers. More competition and I want to see people running their own servers.

* Better video quality. Encoding from source is going to be better then transcoding.

* No more bad servers. Send video to your audience and server isn't able to do modification/surveillance with E2E Encryption via WebRTC.

* Better Latency. No more time lost transcoding. I love low latency streaming where people are connected to community. Not just blasting one-way video.

I am hoping this space improves, I wanted to cast video to watch some stuff with friends last year and the software to accomplish this now is both really heavy (does EVERY part of the process need to run http server?) and convoluted.

We ended up just doing a discord screen share, which evaded all the tunnelling/transcoding/etc issues which made us give up on WebRTC.

Does anyone use OBS to record Teams or Zoom meetings? If so, what is the best way to set it up?

I wish their website had a getting started guide for this purpose but I haven't found one.

OBS is a great solution if you're on a budget or doing very simple streams, but I really urge anybody who is serious about live streaming professional shows to check out vMix. It's an incredible piece of software that is versatile and packed full of so many features professional broadcasts need all baked in.

Holy moly the new source picker is awesome. Anxiously awaiting the full release of this version.

What similar software runs on a raspberry pi?

I wanted to thank the OBS team from the bottom of my heart.
