It’s only downside is the interactivity features, after exporting after using hat feature, the final product was quite difficult to understand.

9- At number 9 is OBS Studio (Windows, Mac, Linux).OBS Studio does not provide good editing feature, but it makes it up with recording options and streaming. For beginners, you can create customizable “studios” with beforehand decided audio and video configurations that you can choose while recording.
