Kazam als Linux-Alternative zu OBS Studio (with Windows Game Bar integration)

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Kazam is not a good replacement for OBS Studio with Windows Game Bar integration for users who need live streaming, scene switching, or advanced audio/video control. It’s suitable only for basic screen recording tasks with minimal setup, like capturing a tutorial or simple gameplay clip. While it handles screen and audio recording with low system impact, it lacks critical features like live streaming, source layering, and hotkey customization. Gamers and content creators relying on OBS’s full feature set will find Kazam too limited. It’s best for casual users wanting quick, lightweight recordings on Linux without configuration.

Ihre OBS Studio (with Windows Game Bar integration)-Dateien öffnen

Kazam records in WebM or MP4 depending on the system backend, which are common formats that can be played back or converted easily. However, it does not use OBS Studio’s project or scene files, and there is no import functionality for OBS settings or recordings. File compatibility is limited to video output only—no support for transferring scenes, audio profiles, or encoding presets between the two apps.
