Streamlabs OBS Prime Member moving to OBS Studio help!!!

[srl_hammond]

Hi, new member here and fairly new to the streaming world also not very "techy" I'm currently a Streamlabs OBS user and subscribe for the Prime content overlays etc. I have created a scene collection I am happy with using Streamlabs OBS however, I've been encountering problems with my stream recently when streaming an online racing league. I have found that the stream is often laggy or delayed and having gone through various video tutorials for settings and advice, it doesn't seem to improve. I have been advised by my fellow teammates and streamers that OBS Studio is less buggy and less performance demanding which is good as I only have a Intel i5 9400 16GB DDR4 3200 RAM and NVIDIA GTX1660Ti GPU not the best I know....! I have installed OBS Studio and managed to import my scene collection created in Streamlabs OBS including widgets, alerts, social scrollers etc and all is working better despite still being on the laggy side even though my bitrate is set at 3500 and I am downscaling to 1280x720 from 1920 x 1080. My question is can I now cancel my Prime subscription and un-install Streamlabs OBS completely from my computer and still use my scene collections imported to OBS Studio or will they disappear because that was where they were created??? Any help would be appreciated as I want to upgrade and the saving on the Prime subscription would help :)

And that is likely the problem. from what I've seen, Streamlabs writes poor code. So running SteamLabs' PoS plug-ins in OBS just moved your mess

As for Streamlabs subscription, etc, I have no idea, maybe someone else can comment

You'll need to contact Streamlabs for support with cancelling their subscription service, unfortunately, as well as if their overlays will continue to work without it. Chances are good that they will not. I'd recommend looking over Nerd or Die's website; they provide a lot of turnkey overlay packs and their prices aren't bad (I am not affiliated with them in any way, they just put out decent assets for those who cannot create their own).
