OBS Studio is free, open-source broadcaster software, it's used for screen recording, video recording, live streaming, and content creation. It's very popular, almost every gamer, streamer, and YouTuber is using it.

It has combined like screen recording, live stream, webcam, microphone, images, videos, and overlays. It supports multiple plugins, we can control microphone volume, desktop audio, game audio, browser audio, music audio, etc, we can also connect it to Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Meet, and Discord. It supports multiple source types, such as display capture, window capture, game capture, video capture device (Webcam), browser source, text, images, media files, audio input capture (microphone), and audio output capture (desktop sound).
