I had only one of six alerts working in OBS. It is unclear how this new development will affect the Streamlabs Studio rollout and the platform’s partnership with Twitch.ĭot Esports has reached out to Streamlabs for comment on the situation.Hi. Former Streamlabs employees and other people in the streaming world even pointed out how this practice of copying or using potential unethical practices isn’t anything new. Users pointed out that the imagery, formatting, and other content couldn’t have just been placeholder info because the company used it in all of their announcements, including the press email sent to Dot Esports.

Streamlabs did respond to the original Lightstream Tweet, but the message was quickly torn apart. Hasan echoed those sentiments, noting that he would never use Streamlabs again if the issues aren’t immediately taken care of. Streamlabs better resolve this entire thread of issues or i’ll be asking them to take my face off the platform + look to use another donation service. In response to OBS’ thread, Pokimane stated that she would ask Streamlabs to remove her face from the platform and look for alternatives for her streaming services like donations if they did not resolve the “entire thread of issues.” Pokimane is a partnered streamer with Streamlabs, with the platform actively using her image and standing to promote the product on the company’s home page. The company shared a meme in response to Lightstream’s post suggesting that Streamlabs Deck mobile application was a close copy of their Stream Deck product’s digital variant.Īfter all of the fallout with other streaming software and hardware companies, Streamlabs also had several big streamers speak out about the situation, with Pokimane as the driving force. This has led to multiple complications and confusion among users for both platforms and companies who didn’t know that the two entities weren’t partnered.Įlgato’s response was a bit lighter. We’ve tried to sort this out in private and they have been uncooperative at every turn - OBS November 17, 2021ĭespite denying their request, Streamlabs used the OBS name anyways and filed a trademark after doing so. They did so anyway and followed up by filing a trademark

Near the launch of SLOBS, reached out to us about using the OBS name.
