Why This Method Works Better Than OBS Plugins
Many streamers try OBS caption plugins like LocalVocal or caption browser extensions — but these frequently break when OBS updates, require manual reinstallation, and add GPU overhead to your streaming PC. StreamTranslate is cloud-based: there's nothing to install, nothing that breaks, and zero performance impact on your machine.
The browser source approach also works in Streamlabs OBS and XSplit — any streaming software that supports browser sources.
