As a leading digital infrastructure provider in Vietnam, EVG will guide you step-by-step on how to connect these platforms and devices with your streaming platform—helping you livestream professionally, stably, and securely.

Overview of Popular Livestreaming Tools

1. OBS Studio

OBS Studio is a free, open-source livestreaming software favored for its high customization, multi-platform support, and extensive plugins. It enables users to combine multiple video and audio sources, add effects and overlays, and broadcast directly to streaming servers.

2. Zoom

Zoom is a widely used video conferencing software that supports livestreaming to platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and specialized streaming services. It’s popular for training sessions, webinars, and virtual events.

Professional cameras such as Sony, Canon, and Blackmagic often output via HDMI or SDI with superior image quality. To stream this video to a platform, an encoder device or compatible software is typically required.
