What Streamlabs is

Streamlabs is a software suite for live streaming, audience engagement, audience growth, and monetization. Streamlabs Desktop captures webcams, games, desktops, music, and microphones, then lets you arrange custom scenes. It can produce vertical and horizontal outputs simultaneously, with one output of each format available on the free plan. Desktop lists native connections for Twitch, YouTube, Kick, TikTok, X, Trovo, Facebook, and Instagram, alongside custom RTMP destinations. Ultra adds multistreaming to multiple destinations, with Streamlabs servers handling that work. The wider suite includes Desktop, Mobile, Console, Talk Studio, Cross Clip, Video Editor, Podcast Editor, and Web Suite. Browser-based production, pre-recorded streams, cloud recording, and unified chat are listed features. Streamlabs says its personal tip page charges no Streamlabs fees for tipping. Mobile supports iOS 14 or later and Android 5.0 or later; the free app streams to one platform. Desktop requires Windows 10 or later or macOS 12 or later, with 8GB RAM minimum. Streamlabs was founded in 2014 and is a Logitech brand.
