OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) is free, open-source software for video recording and live streaming. Companies, schools, event teams and content creators use it to produce professional streams on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn Live and Facebook Live.
With OBS cloud hosting, OBS Studio runs on a cloud computer instead of a local PC. Your streams no longer depend on one machine’s hardware or one office’s internet connection, and your team can manage scenes, sources and broadcasts from any device.
It’s an especially good fit for 24/7 streams, pre-recorded broadcasts, remote productions and any setup where a local computer is the weak link.
With our OBS hosting, your streaming setup lives in the cloud, not on a single computer. Sign in from your laptop, desktop or tablet to start, monitor or adjust a broadcast, even if you’re nowhere near the office.
Your stream runs on a cloud computer with the processing power and memory you choose, plus a data center internet connection. That means your broadcast doesn’t depend on a slow home connection or an overloaded office PC.
As your streaming needs grow, you can add more processing power, memory or storage to your cloud computer. Start small and upgrade when you’re ready, without buying new hardware.
Your OBS setup, scenes and recordings are stored in secure data centers with regular backups. If something goes wrong, you can get back up and running quickly instead of rebuilding your setup from scratch.
Choosing between local-hosted and cloud-hosted OBS depends on your streaming needs.
Local-hosted solutions might be suitable for individual streamers or small setups with minimal remote access requirements and existing powerful hardware. However, for streamers seeking scalability, enhanced performance, high security, and the convenience of remote management, cloud-hosted OBS with V2 Cloud offers a superior solution.

OBS Cloud Hosting offers versatile solutions tailored to meet the unique demands of various users. Here are some examples of how different sectors benefit from our hosting services:
Gaming channels and esports organizers use cloud-hosted OBS to run 24/7 streams, rebroadcast recorded matches and manage tournament streams remotely. Since OBS runs in the cloud, the stream stays live even when the streamer’s own PC is off or in use.

Businesses use OBS hosting for company-wide announcements, town halls, product launches and live events. Teams can manage the same broadcast setup from different offices, and the stream doesn’t depend on the internet connection at any one location.
Hospitals, clinics and medical schools use OBS hosting to stream training sessions, conferences and educational content to staff and students across multiple locations.

A virtual desktop is similar to a normal computer desktop, but everything is on a software package and runs on a cloud server. Multiple virtual desktops can be run on a single server, which eases the collaboration between users and reduces costs. A virtual desktop solution is a way of deploying multiple virtual desktops similar to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Creating a virtual desktop can be difficult and depending on the provider you’re with, it can require IT skills and certifications. That’s different with V2 Cloud’s virtual desktop services—you can create a virtual desktop in 20 minutes. Simply create an account, build your virtual desktop in the cloud, and after 20 minutes you can start using it.
The cost of our virtual desktops is determined based on VM and resource requirements. You can check our packages here to explore the available configurations and pricing options.
Virtual machines or VM, are virtualized computing environments similar to physical computers. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure or VDI is a system that is using VMs to provision virtual desktops and applications. You can keep in mind that VDI > VM > Virtual Desktops. VDI is the infrastructure where your virtual machines are hosted and those virtual machines have virtual desktops.
Virtual desktops are notoriously safe because your data never leaves the cloud. Virtual desktop solutions are usually safer than physical desktops. Since no business data is stored on the physical machine, multiple layers of security and encryptions are built-in with cloud desktops. Multifactor authentication(MFA) and single sign-on(SSO) on a cloud PC are protecting end-users way more than mixing personal data with business data on a physical desktop.
There are many advantages to using virtual desktop software. The key aim of virtual desktops is to better manage workloads by transforming traditional computing to be more scalable, efficient, and economical. Virtual desktop software is quickly being adopted by organizations and the academic community due to its ability to offer a reduction of investment outlays and operating costs. Some benefits of virtual desktop software are:
– Simplified management
– Increase productivity
– Flexible and cost-effective
– Environmentally friendly
