OBS Studio
FreePro-grade screen recording and live streaming — fully open, fully free
Open Source No Ads No Tracking Offline No Sign-up Cross-platform
The industry-standard recording and streaming tool with scenes, sources, and live mixing. No watermark, no time limit, no paywall.
Why we picked it
Almost anything paid screen-recorders can do, OBS does — and often better: multi-source scenes, chroma key, live switching, streaming to any platform. It's the tool behind countless streamers and teachers, yet it charges nothing and stamps no watermark.
The only "cost" is a learning curve from its sheer depth. But once configured, you'll never pay for screen recording again.
