Kazam als Linux-Alternative zu OBS MultiPlatform
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
Kazam is not a good replacement for OBS MultiPlatform if you need live streaming, custom scenes, or advanced audio mixing. It works for basic screen and webcam recording with minimal setup, making it suitable for occasional users who only need simple captures. However, it lacks scene composition, hardware encoding, and streaming features essential to OBS users. Since Kazam is discontinued and has limited functionality, it's only viable for lightweight recording tasks on older or low-resource systems where simplicity matters more than capability.

Ihre OBS MultiPlatform-Dateien öffnen
Kazam records in WebM or MP4 depending on the backend, which are common formats that can be opened by most video editors and players. OBS MultiPlatform also outputs in similar formats, so playback compatibility isn't an issue. However, project files from OBS (like .json scene configurations) cannot be imported into Kazam, as it has no concept of scenes or sources. Any complex setup must be recreated manually, if at all possible.
