Here's what streamers are saying about Meld:
Meld is going to be a game changer. Everything you love about OBS with Adobe like effects, it's free, it will eventually have add ons. And it's faster, less resources.
after using @streamwithmeld for the past few streams, I am beyond impressed!!! It may still be in BETA but the response from my community has been amazing! PLUS anytime there is an issue their team jumps on a fix and is incredibly responsive with help/assistance.
@streamwithmeld is a game changer. yall need to get in on that beta IMMEDIATELY!
Creators and live streamers - keep tabs on @streamwithmeld. This is a new broadcasting software alternative to OBS that's in development, and they are doing some really cool things. I've been playing around with it and very intrigued. Can't wait to see where it goes!
Got to check out Meld Studio today, and this looks very promising. 👀
As someone who has been part of the beta, I highly recommend giving Meld a chance. It is really unique and awesome to try out new options in the streaming space!
I mean those who love to tinker with options and apply a creative twist to the mundane elements of a stream production. there's a lot of options, filters and all round cool features within Meld that don't exist in current streaming software and it's surprising they don't.
You don't always need plugins to create cool effects. @streamwithmeld is great software for content creators. And definitely worth a look. Available for Mac and now Windows too.
I love @streamwithmeld! Why? Because not only do they have an amazing OBS alternative software to stream with, an outstanding community, constantly communicating with us but ALSO supporting the streamers :D
