OBS Studio vs. Vmaker

From simple streaming to bigger events, OBS has been able to handle all of it with full confidence from us. Have never questioned if it was going to be unreliable in a specific situation, even with minimal training. Software identified the external input source easily and had no issues setting that up (Blackmagic Mini Recorder), and great for pulling in separate audio from the computer input.

In my opinion, if you are a YouTuber that uses videos from different sites on the internet to create content this is a great program to use.

• Free software for live telecast
• Open source project for video recording
• Powerful video recording
• Written in C and C++
• Totally virus free and free download
• Collaborates with Facebook live and YouTube live streaming.
• Computer screen recording
• A hub for collectting source and broadcast

• Picture in Picture (screen+webcam) Recording
• Virtual Backgrounds for the Webcam (most other platforms don't support this)
• Super easy to use

• OBS can be a little clunky sometimes, the lots of features can be a bit overwhelming
• I can multitask with it, but can't run heavy software like Premiere alongside it
• No way to make adjustments to file after it's done, have to use After Effects or Premiere for that

• I would love to see a Vmaker mobile app eventually
• Sometimes there are issues connecting to my camera
• I would like to be able to pick a default camera and mic

Very usable because it is free and has had a lot of people helping to suggest improvements and sponsors have allowed the product to grow in sophistication and suitability across a variety of situations and use needs. It is very logical to use once you get started, although the dashboard can seem intimidating at first.

For a free product, a range of support is available. There are plenty of ways to find out answers to questions, because there are probably thousands of people using the product who are willing to share what they have learned. It usually works as designed, so needs for support are limited.

Only one reason which is that OBS studio is free and open source and we had team members capable of using it effectively. Other softwares have great prebuilt features which make it super easy to go live for small streams and individual streamers.

I used to use Loom a LOT but then they started blocking downloads of videos on the Free plan. And their pricing is high vs Vmaker so I made the switch. I like how Vmaker lets you choose the part of the screen to record. I also love how Vmaker lets you choose a virtual background or blur the background of your webcam for picture in picture recording. Great product with a very fair price.

• It was great to have a platform that is free that I can experiment with without having to use our business capital on.
• It took time to learn, but it helped me understand a lot of things, so it was a great learning experience.
• It was a great balance of cost and time with the high-quality product we got from it.

• Has allowed me to greatly speed up client communication and increase the amount of clients I can work with at once
• Vmaker has allowed me to contact prospects quickly and promptly so I don't lose potential opportunities due to time
