This would be useful for those who stream with different twitch accounts, streamers sharing one PC, or if you would like a different dashboard/dock setup depending on the content you were streaming/producing. Profile: create, import & export various profiles for your OBS.add or remove visibility of standard docks (scenes, sources, audio mixer, controls, scene transitions) also add additional docks such as stats and twitch chat (if you have connected your twitch account), and allows you to add custom docks. Docks: windows or “sections” of the OBS dashboard.access to multiview mode for better scene switching for visually inclined people. View: allows you to customize visibility of icons & status bars.Edit: typical editing options such as copy/paste/undo/transform/etc., and also allows access to advanced audio settings.File: allows quick access to settings & a “remux recordings” options to convert videos recorded in OBS as.Tool Bar – at the top of the OBS window, there are several menus that will be referenced throughout this blog. On the flipside: with SLOBS you can more easily integrate stream labels, chat and alerts, assuming you use StreamLabs for those services. I generally see people say that OBS uses 10-15% less RAM to run.

OBS is more reliable, uses far few resources to run, and crashes less. You could use either one: SLOBS’ design is a little more “beginner friendly” but it also bogs your PC down and chew up a lot of memory/RAM to run. Stream Labs “adopted” OBS’ source code, and added a lot of bells and whistles (and monetized options) to create SLOBS. It’s a tool that you have to create onto (adding scenes, sources & plugins), and then you need to take that canvas to a gallery to be seen (connecting it to a streaming platform like twitch or youtube). It’s important to understand: OBS is like the blank canvas for an artist. OBS stands for “Open Broadcasting Software” and it’s a free, open source program that anyone can use to broadcast content on streaming platforms, or record video productions to their computers.
