Record, live-stream and share Linux Ubuntu Desktop with Open Broadcaster Studio. Install Open Broadcaster Studio 0.10.1 on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10, Linux Mint and Derivatives.
As you know, Open Broadcaster Studio (OBS) is an open-source, cross-platform application for video recording and live streaming Desktop. You can easily use the Open Broadcaster Studio to stream and record Linux Ubuntu Desktop. Besides normal screen streaming, it also allows live RTMP streaming to Twitch, YouTube, DailyMotion, Hitbox and GPU-based game capture (game streaming).
OBS MultiPlatform is a complete rewrite of the original OBS from the ground up, with the main goals of course being multiplatform support, a more thorough feature set, and a much more powerful API. A very early and simple release is currently available for Mac.
OBS MultiPlatform will eventually support many of the advanced requested features not present in the original OBS, such as multiple stream outputs and scene previewing. It does not have these features in this release.
Open Broadcaster Software is free and open source software for video recording and live streaming.
Supported features include:
Encoding using H264 (x264) and AAC.
Support for Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) and NVENC.
Unlimited number of scenes and sources.
