OBS Studio als Linux-Alternative zu Loom
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
OBS Studio can replace Loom for users who need more control over recording and live‑streaming, but it is heavier and less beginner‑friendly. If you’re comfortable setting up scenes, sources, and filters, OBS will cover all Loom features and add advanced options like custom transitions and VST audio plugins. For casual screen‑recording with quick sharing, Loom’s simplicity wins; for professional or multi‑source production, OBS is the better choice.

Was gleich funktioniert
- Both record screen and webcam, capture microphone audio, export to MP4/WebM, allow basic trimming and annotation, and support easy sharing or local saving
Was anders ist
- OBS requires scene setup and source configuration, whereas Loom is a one‑click recorder; OBS lacks Loom’s built‑in cloud upload and instant sharing links; OBS does not provide a simple annotation tool like Loom’s on‑screen markers; OBS has no native “quick clip” export to social platforms; OBS’s learning curve is steeper.
- OBS Studio is free and open source, Loom offers a freemium model with limited features in the free tier.
Ihre Loom-Dateien öffnen
Loom does not produce files that OBS can open directly; Loom exports to standard MP4/WebM which OBS can import for editing, but there is no direct import of Loom’s proprietary project files. If you need to edit a Loom clip in OBS, first download the MP4 and then add it as a media source.
Von Loom zu OBS Studio wechseln – Schritt für Schritt
- 1. Install OBS Studio from your distro’s package manager or Flathub. 2. Open OBS and create a new scene. 3. Add sources: Screen Capture for the monitor, Video Capture Device for webcam, Audio Input Capture for microphone. 4. Configure audio filters (noise gate, suppression) if desired. 5. Start recording, then stop and save the MP4 file to your folder.

Can I share Loom‑style links from OBS?
No, OBS only saves locally; you must upload the file to a hosting service or share the file directly.
Is OBS suitable for quick screen clips?
Yes, but you must set up sources first; it’s not a one‑click recorder like Loom.
Does OBS support annotations?
Not natively; you can overlay images or use third‑party tools, but Loom’s built‑in annotation is missing.
