What it supplies: OBS Studio is software designed for capturing, compositing, encoding, recording and streaming video content efficiently. This README is a short project overview that points to the website, the wiki guides, build instructions, developer and API documentation, and the contribution guidelines.

Useful for: - Use it to capture and composite video sources and to record or stream the result.
- Read the wiki guides for how to use it.
- Use the developer and API documentation if you want to write against OBS.

First action: - Open the project website and the wiki help and guides linked from the README.
- To build from source, follow the Install Instructions page on the wiki.
- For developer work, read the Developer/API documentation and the coding and commit guidelines.

Prerequisites and limits: The README names no version, system requirements or dependencies; build requirements are on the linked Install Instructions page.

- The README does not list features, supported platforms, codecs or workflows, and has no install or usage steps; those are on the linked website and wiki.
- Translations are contributed through Crowdin rather than pull requests.
- Nothing here describes streaming-service setup or output settings.

The README states OBS Studio is distributed under the GNU General Public License v2 or any later version, with details in the COPYING file. Video you record or stream carries its own rights.

Written from the README text only. Statements are as the README gives them; nothing was installed or run.
