yup
BUT real-time video encoding is demanding on a PC, so specs need to be up to snuff.
You may hear/read about running OBS as (local) admin, but that is only if you have hardware resource contention issues (typically). There are security downsides to running user software as an admin.. so beware

As for asking on a forum and trusting the answer..... not really a good idea. With that said, if you look around, OBS is well deployed and used software, across a range of industries, including professional use, and as long you are careful regarding 3rd party plug-ins, I've not come across any reports of malware.
