Yes! You can live stream and record as much as you want totally free with Streamlabs Desktop, in OBS with the Streamlabs Plugin for OBS, and with Streamlabs Mobile. No watermarks and no time limits.
Optional features such as Multistreaming, overlays from professional designers, Stream Shift, and more are included with our Ultra subscription.
We created Streamlabs Ultra so we could bring streamers the cutting-edge features needed to keep pace in the quickly-evolving creator space. We believe in making products, not making you the product, and Ultra fees help us:
- staff the development team that brings you the features you love including maintaining free tools used by millions of users each month.
- pay professional (human) designers for overalys, widget themes, and Desktop Apps.
- maintain Multistreaming servers that allow you to go live to all your favorite platforms without putting extra strain on your PC.
- keep tipping and Sponsorships fee-free* so you keep your earnings.
- provide financial support to the OBS development team.
* We never take a cut of your tips. Payment processors charge standard fees for tipping.
Yes! Many Streamlabs features work with OBS Studio. Our top features such as Multisteaming, the recent events feed, multi-chat support, overlays and widget themes, and other top features have been added to the Streamlabs Plugin for OBS for easier setup. However, you can also add widgets to OBS as browser sources and use Multistreaming without the Plugin.
