Live Streaming Software, more accurately described as software encoding programs, converts video input into a digital format for playback on various devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and desktop PCs. These platforms offer much more, elevating your stream production to a professional level.

There are several options, both free and paid. We recommend Lightstream, OBS, or vMix, so let’s focus on those.

Beyond making streams accessible on different devices, Live Streaming Software is essential for using multiple cameras, combining audio sources, adding graphics, applying effects, or broadcasting across various platforms and channels.

In short, you’ll need Live Streaming Video Software and a Stream Engine to achieve the most professional and engaging results.

Below, you’ll find the pros and cons of our three recommended Live Streaming Video Software packages. Review them to determine which best fits your needs and budget.
