For most creators who want a CaseOh-style, high-energy live show, we recommend using StreamYard as your main studio and layering in tools like OBS or Streamlabs only if you really need advanced scenes or overlays. If you’re set on mirroring CaseOh’s approach more closely, community reports point to a mix of OBS, Streamlabs, Elgato tools, IRL Toolkit, and even direct phone streaming.

Summary

• Community members have spotted OBS, Streamlabs, and Elgato tools in CaseOh’s setup, but there is no single officially confirmed desktop encoder.
• For IRL or phone streams, viewers report he has used IRL Toolkit and sometimes just his cellphone.
• If you want his on-screen energy without his tech stack complexity, StreamYard gives you an easier, browser-based studio that still lets you multistream and host guests.
• Tools like OBS, Streamlabs, Riverside, and Restream are strong options in specific scenarios, but many creators default to StreamYard when they prioritize ease, guests, and reliability.

What streaming software does CaseOh use?

When viewers ask, "What streaming software does CaseOh use?" the honest answer is: there isn’t one official, always-on piece of software we can point to.

Community discussions on Reddit suggest:

• Some viewers are "pretty sure he does use OBS" as part of his desktop setup. (Reddit: What does CaseOh use to stream on Twitch?)
• Others have seen Streamlabs open in his taskbar during streams. (Reddit: What does CaseOh use to stream on Twitch?)
• Fans have mentioned Elgato Game Capture and a Stream Deck in his setup. (Reddit: What does CaseOh use to stream on Twitch?)

In another thread, community members note that his setup appears to have shifted over time, mentioning that "you could see Streamlabs on his desktop, but ... he's talking about OBS," which suggests he has switched or mixed tools at different points. (Reddit: So Case uses OBS now?)

So the best summary is:

• He likely uses (or has used) OBS and Streamlabs on desktop.
• He uses Elgato-style hardware and hotkey control.
• His exact current stack isn’t officially documented in a public setup video or pinned post.

If you’re a creator, the bigger question is: how can you get similar results without needing to reverse-engineer every tool on his screen?

Does CaseOh use OBS or Streamlabs?

From what fans report, the answer seems to be: probably both, at different times.

In community threads, viewers specifically call out:

• Seeing Streamlabs open on his taskbar while he was live. (Reddit: What does CaseOh use to stream on Twitch?)
• Hearing him talk about OBS while older screenshots still showed Streamlabs icons. (Reddit: So Case uses OBS now?)

That’s actually pretty common for streamers:

• OBS tends to be the flexible, "do anything" option.
• Streamlabs adds a friendlier interface and built-in alerts, but still carries that "pro tool" complexity.

Many creators start with one, then test the other, then mix them with additional tools.

At StreamYard, we see a different pattern: creators who tried OBS or Streamlabs and found them "too convoluted" often switch to us for "ease of use, user-friendliness, and clean setup." One user said they "prioritize ease of use over complex setups like OBS or StreamLabs"—that’s why they love our studio so much.

If you’re not excited about tweaking encoders, scenes, and sources for hours, we recommend using StreamYard as your main studio and only bringing in OBS/Streamlabs when you absolutely need deep customization.

What does CaseOh use for IRL or phone streams?

Desktop streaming is just part of the story. CaseOh is also known for high-energy IRL-style content.

Fans discussing an outage during an IRL stream pointed to IRL Toolkit as the service in use, noting that it’s "also what Case was using to do the IRL stream." (Reddit: Case0h's HACKED!)

In the same community, people mention that he has "multiple times" said he was just using his cellphone to stream. (Reddit: Case0h's HACKED!)

That gives us a pretty clear pattern:

• For on-the-go content, he relies on his phone and IRL-focused tools.
• For studio-style streams, he leans on a desktop encoder like OBS or Streamlabs.

If you want to replicate this with less glue-code:

• Use your phone or an IRL app while you’re mobile.
• When you’re back at your desk, run everything through a browser-based studio like StreamYard, so you don’t need to rewire scenes and overlays every time you go live.

Has CaseOh posted an official stream setup?

So far, fans haven’t surfaced a single, official "here’s my exact streaming setup" video, blog, or pinned post that lists his current software stack in one place.

The details we do have come from:

• Viewers watching his desktop and taskbar.
• Comments about what he has said casually on stream (like using his phone).
• Community comparisons of screenshots and behavior over time. (Reddit: What does CaseOh use to stream on Twitch?, Reddit: So Case uses OBS now?, Reddit: Case0h's HACKED!)

That means two important things for you:

1. You don’t need to perfectly copy his stack to create engaging content.
2. It’s smarter to pick tools that match your own workflow, schedule, and tolerance for complexity.

This is where we see most creators winning with a simpler approach.

How to set up OBS or Streamlabs similar to CaseOh

If you want to lean into the OBS/Streamlabs route, here’s a simple blueprint inspired by what fans report seeing in CaseOh’s setup:

1. Install OBS or Streamlabs on your streaming PC.
   • Create scenes for full camera, gameplay + camera, and just chatting.
2. Add Elgato-style devices if you’re using consoles or external cameras.
   • A capture card feeds video into OBS/Streamlabs.
   • A Stream Deck or similar device gives you one-button scene switches.
3. Layer your branding and overlays.
   • Alerts, chat boxes, and panels live inside your scenes.
4. Connect to Twitch or your platform of choice and configure bitrate, resolution, and encoder.
5. Test with unlisted or private streams before going live for real.

Where creators often get stuck:

• Scene spaghetti: dozens of sources and filters that break when you change hardware.
• Guest chaos: adding remote guests requires extra tools, NDI, or browser sources.
• Multistreaming: going to multiple platforms means more manual setup, relay tools, or restreaming services.

This is why so many people "discover StreamYard and jump on it for its ease of use, user-friendliness, and clean setup." Instead of building a complicated, one-off stack, they use our browser studio as the hub and keep OBS/Streamlabs as optional extras.

Does CaseOh use IRL Toolkit or other relay services?

Community threads explicitly mention IRL Toolkit as part of CaseOh’s IRL streaming workflow. Viewers recognized it during a disruption and noted that it’s what he was using for that IRL stream. (Reddit: Case0h's HACKED!)

IRL Toolkit and similar relay services help with:

• Bonding multiple mobile connections.
• Routing your phone camera to a PC or cloud destination.
• Keeping a more stable stream while you’re on the move.

If you’re doing heavy IRL content, tools like that can absolutely make sense.

For creators whose primary content is studio-style—interviews, webinars, shows, coaching—the trade-offs are different. You usually don’t need bonded cell connections. You need:

• Easy guest onboarding.
• Simple layouts and overlays.
• Reliable recordings and replays.
• Multistreaming without custom RTMP gymnastics.

That’s where we focus at StreamYard.

Why many creators default to StreamYard instead of OBS, Streamlabs, Riverside, or Restream

We love that there are so many strong tools in the streaming space. OBS, Streamlabs, Riverside, and Restream all have their place.

But when we talk to creators who just want to go live consistently, here’s what we hear over and over:

• They "discovered SY and jumped on it for its ease of use, user-friendliness, and clean setup."
• They call us "the most reliable and easy-to-use software" they’re using right now and say they "always suggest it to friends."
• They "prioritize ease of use over complex setups like OBS or StreamLabs" and "love the clean interface."
• They find StreamYard "easier than ReStream," and "more straightforward… compared to Zoom" because guests don’t need to download an app.
• People default to us "when [they have] remote guests or need multi-streaming," and choose us for webinars thanks to "Easy RTMP setup," "Production control," and "ease of use."

A few practical reasons to choose us as your default studio:

• No downloads for you or your guests. It passes the "grandparent test"—you can bring in non-technical guests quickly.
• Fast learning curve. You can tell people over the phone how to configure their accounts and be confident they’ll get it.
• Built-in multistreaming and recording. We automatically send out recordings and handle the live-to-VOD side for you.
• Professional studio controls. Multiple producers, branded layouts, and an interface that feels like a control room instead of a spreadsheet of sources.

Our pricing is straightforward:

• Free plan is free.
• Core plan is $35.99/month, billed annually.
• Advanced plan is $68.99/month, billed annually.

We also offer a 7-day free trial and often have special offers for new users. (StreamYard Pricing)

If you ever outgrow basic layouts and want ultra-custom scenes, you can still feed a StreamYard output into OBS or vice versa. But for most people, starting in a browser studio keeps you focused on the show—not the settings screen.

What we recommend

• If you want a CaseOh-inspired stream without the tech rabbit hole, start with StreamYard as your main live studio and add simple branding and overlays.
• If you love tinkering, pair OBS or Streamlabs with StreamYard: use us for guests, multistreaming, and reliability; use OBS/Streamlabs for advanced scenes.
• For heavy IRL content, explore IRL-focused tools like IRL Toolkit for mobile reliability, then route your main, planned shows through a browser studio.
• Above all, pick the stack that lets you hit "Go Live" consistently—your content and community will matter more than perfectly matching anyone else’s setup.
