OBS or Open Broadcaster Software is a free screen video recorder that offers

both recording and streaming in high definition, with no limits on the length of
your videos.  

The desktop software allows you to choose the part of the screen you want
to capture, but it also gives an option to record the entire screen. 

Customizable hotkeys help control the recording, and an audio mixer allows
you to produce videos with smoothly recorded sound. 

Apart from the intuitive screencasting features, OBS is equipped with live-
streaming capabilities that you won’t find in the default screen recorders of
major operating systems.

You can stream live on YouTube Gaming and Twitch, save projects, and
convert your footage in FLV format. 
All of this makes OBS one of the best free screen recording software options
to try in 2021.
