help Streamlabs Desktop FAQ

Is Streamlabs Desktop the same program as OBS Studio?

No, Streamlabs Desktop is a separate application built around OBS technology and Streamlabs integrations. OBS Studio is maintained as an independent open-source project and generally provides a leaner base without Streamlabs' store and account features.

Can Streamlabs Desktop stream to Twitch and YouTube?

Yes, it supports major streaming platforms including Twitch and YouTube. A streamer can build scenes from game capture, cameras, browser sources, alerts and chat-related widgets before going live.

Can Streamlabs Desktop record gameplay without going live?

Yes, local recording can be used independently of broadcasting. Recording quality, file size and performance depend on the selected resolution, bitrate and hardware encoder, such as NVIDIA NVENC.

Does multistreaming require Streamlabs Ultra?

Streamlabs places several premium features, including its integrated multistreaming options, behind the Ultra subscription. Free users can still stream to one selected service and use the core scene, source and recording tools.
