      It works perfectly fine on both my Windows and Linux systems. It’s so much better than any alternative out there that I would say it’d be more worthwhile to debug your issue than try a lacking alternative.

      Uninstalling software doesn’t always completely remove everything related to the application, in fact it’s pretty common for settings/config files to be left behind, so you gotta check both the installation folder and your user folder if you want to completely restart fresh.

      If that doesn’t help, OBS’ logs are easily accessible from its Help menu. Those should give you more insight.

      If you really really wanna give up on by far the best streaming and recording software, AMD and NVIDIA have those features in the application that they ship with their drivers, but they’re extremely basic compared to OBS EDIT: this is only available in Windows AFAIK

      Are you perhaps using the snap? It’s known to be shit and is unsupported. The official way to install OBS on Linux is with flatpak. It includes several plugins.

        The set up for me was fine, finding tutorials on recording (not streaming) and finding/using bgs etc not so much.
