PRISM Live Studio comes from the same family of apps as the PRISM mobile streamer, so it suits creators who split their time between a PC and a phone. The desktop app is a free download for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 and for Apple Silicon Macs on Monterey 12.3 or higher. The vendor lists simultaneous streaming to several live platforms, real-time screen sharing and AvatarLive, which lets you stream without showing your face, along with masks, background filters and touch filters. One account works across the mobile, desktop and Lens apps, and PRISM Plus, a paid subscription, carries over between them. A new Windows beta built on OBS is available, but installing it removes your existing PRISM Live Studio. The drawbacks are thin public documentation compared with OBS Studio and pricing that is only shown inside the mobile app, so we could not verify a US price for Plus.
