OBS stands for Open Broadcaster Software. This professionalism can bring in many viewers when people on Twitch are live streaming, making it easier to grow an audience. OBS Studio allows people to play a specific game, layered correctly with stream overlays and other graphics as well as pull in audio and video sources. These add-ons make OBS Studio even more robust with a powerful API. Windows and Mac users in the streaming community have continually worked to improve the live streaming program to include new features monthly. OBS Studio replaced Open Broadcaster Software (or OBS Classic) in 2016. Initially, a small project that was created and managed by Hugh “Jim” Bailey, the OBS project quickly grew as the streaming community banded together to create features that would revolutionize the world of online streaming. Open Broadcaster Software was initially released on September 1, 2012, as an open-source program allowing streamers and content creators to decide exactly what they want to show on the streaming platform of their choice.
