OBS is one of the most useful apps on my PC even if I've never streamed anything

OBS Studio has been a constant companion on my PC for years, and I’m not alone in this. This powerful application is often mistakenly linked to Twitch streamers and YouTubers, but its real utility extends far beyond the realm of live streaming.
