# OBS Streaming Mode

**OBS (Open Broadcaster Software)** is a free, open-source tool for screen recording and live streaming. It’s widely used by creators to stream on platforms like Twitch, YouTube — and, of course, FROGY.

With OBS, you can build professional-looking streams by combining multiple sources, such as:

* your **camera**
* gameplay or screen capture
* presentations
* text overlays and visuals — all while fully controlling audio and adding effects.
