# OBS Studio (https://devrel.directory/directory/obs-studio)

Free, open-source recording and streaming; the default rig for live coding, demos, and talk recordings.

Scene-based compositing of screens, cameras, and overlays with per-source audio control, streaming to any RTMP destination and high-quality local recording. Virtual camera output and remote control ship built in, and a deep plugin ecosystem covers captions, NDI, and automated scene switching. Most livestream, talk-recording, and demo rigs standardize on it eventually.
