OBS x OneStream Live: A Winning Combination for Streamers

It is hard to imagine someone in the live-streaming industry who has yet to hear about OBS. OBS Studio has been the cornerstone of creating a visually immersive stream, while OneStream Live brings multistreaming capabilities that connect your content with audiences worldwide. Keeping these two in mind, setting up a live stream where everything falls seamlessly into place with smooth performance and an engaging audience experience across multiple platforms is attainable. These tools form an unbeatable combination for elevating any streamer’s broadcast. Let’s dive into why OBS (out of other encoders) and OneStream Live are a winning combination for streamers, creating a way to expand your audience while keeping that top-notch quality your viewers expect.

Streamers’ Trusted Companion: OBS Studios?

OBS Studio, or Open Broadcaster Software, is an open-source software renowned for its flexibility. OBS has been the go-to tool for streamers across gaming, webinars, virtual events, and countless other formats for years. Its unique ability to capture high-quality audio and video and its plugins make it the preferred encoder for many streamers worldwide. What makes OBS unique is its comprehensive functionality. It has a community-driven ecosystem of developers and users contributing to the growing library of plugins and resources. With OBS, streamers can manipulate scenes, add custom transitions, and incorporate plugins for endless customization. However, OBS alone lacks some crucial features for the modern-day streamer, such as multistreaming and advanced branding options. Here’s where OneStream Live steps in to supercharge OBS, transforming a powerful encoder into a robust streaming solution designed to reach audiences across multiple platforms without the hassle of repetitive setup.
