StreamChum Studio
StreamChum Studio is a desktop streaming application for capturing, composing, encoding, going live and recording locally. It supports Windows and Apple Silicon Macs; macOS requires version 13.3 or later, and Intel Macs are not supported. Studio can stream to Twitch, YouTube and Kick together, including a separate phone layout for Twitch while YouTube and Kick remain horizontal. Local recording saves one layout to an FLV file, but recording cannot run while streaming. Studio AI proposes scene layouts from displays, cameras and existing overlays, with a checklist before applying changes. Producer enables browser-based scene and overlay control without installing an app. Live Center combines Twitch, YouTube and Kick chats, with moderation actions limited to the originating platform. The Free plan costs 0.00 USD, allows one live platform, seven days of history and only the owner seat. Paid plans are $8.26 a month for Plus and $14.08 a month for Pro; the pricing note states from 8.25/mo annually. A 14-day trial is listed.
