TechnoWikis will talk a bit about OBS and we will see how to install it on Ubuntu 20.04.
What is BS
OBS is a free open source software specialized for video recording and live broadcasting issues, it comes integrated with an API which allows us to develop plugins that are centralized to the needs of each user.
