Most streamers use OBS Studio, which is among the most feature-filled game recording and streaming software on laptops and desktops. Some of the other software used by professional streamers include XSplit and Wirecast. Both are highly expensive, with the latter prohibitively so, especially for starters. If you’re looking to start streaming, you can’t go wrong with OBS. It literally has no cons, except maybe, the lack of multi-stream support.
