However, OBS Studio is a desktop application and relies on on-premises resources. Many live streamers use OBS as their preferred RTMP encoder and repackage their streams to reach a wider using the Wowza streaming engine. This introduces a lag during the process of conversion, and the problem becomes worse if the device on which OBS is installed lacks processing power. To minimize this lag, you can <span style=\"color: #007fac;\"><a style=\"color: #007fac;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apps4rent.com\/obs-open-broadcaster-software-streaming-hosting\/\">host OBS Studio in the cloud<\/a><\/span> with Apps4Rent for an improved live streaming experience.
