Thank you for your reply,
Yes, I know OBS is free and have been using it for a long time, and knowing Microsoft has the right to sell it, this is unfair to me, to the OBS team and to the users as well.
 
thank you

everything is clear, Microsoft is only selling OBS Studio!
and the video you advised me clearly shows that this is OBS Studio,
frustrating and incomprehensible from a large corporation like Microsoft that makes billions of dollars.
After years of community work for free and for the benefit of everyone, I mean everyone, because OBS is impeccable software supplemented by plugins and scripts by participants that I thank in passing, the company of Mr. Bill Gates continues his philosophy of letting others work and earn easy money with them.
 
This is some scam company taking the free version and putting it on the MS Store. While it's probably the same, it could also have malware or other nasties attached to it, I would avoid it.
 
Now there's a free option which seems legitimate. Isn't yours? I think is a positive thing a growing collection of open source software makes its way to the store. It should help spread it.
Thank you.

It is not. The OBS Project does not publish on the MS Store. Just here, direct from the obsproject.com website. This is someone else repackaging it and listing it independently.
 
The app in the screenshot of @dm29 is the official free OBS version. It's a new listing. If you look closer, you will see it's the original, provided by the OBS developers themselves. Its free as well. There were rip offs in the past who demanded payment, but they seem to be gone, fortunately.

It seems a brand new listing, available in the store app on Windows 10 or 11, but not yet in the microsoft.com store website, where you are still only offered the rip off.
