Why teams switch from OBS Studio

Share in one click

OBS saves files locally with no sharing workflow. Vyds gives you a shareable link the moment you stop recording.

Zero configuration

OBS requires scene setup, audio routing, and encoder configuration. Vyds works out of the box in under a minute.

Built-in editing

OBS has no editing tools. With Vyds Plus you can trim and stitch directly in the browser before sharing.

Team features included

OBS is a solo tool. Vyds Pro includes team workspaces, AI captions, and shared video libraries.
