The platform was recently called out by its competitors in Lightstream and OBS for plagiarism and use of names without consent, respectively.The saga began after Lightstream publicly called out Streamlabs for copying their entire user interface. The post was retweeted by the CEO of Lightstream, who believed that Streamlabs ought to be ashamed of themselves for not only riding on OBS' hard work, but also copying Lightstream's interface.STU 🎮🎥🎙@StuV2The team at @streamlabs should be ashamed.

However, Streamlabs went ahead and used the name regardless, blatantly disrespecting OBS' wishes.Naturally, this saw huge outrage from Twitch users on Twitter, who wanted the service software canceled. Many streamers, such as Pokimane and Hasanabi, have even refused to use Streamlabs' services until the company sorts out the situation.hasanabi@hasanthehuni will never use @streamlabs again if they don’t immediately resolve this matter. twitter.com/obsproject/sta…OBS@OBSProjectNear the launch of SLOBS, @streamlabs reached out to us about using the OBS name.

The RTS owner is one of the biggest stars on Twitch, so her refusal to associate with the platform will surely affect it negatively.Streamlabs has now responded to these allegations and accepted their mistake. The organization has apologized to Lightstream for plagiarizing its web design, suggesting that it was an error on their part. Furthermore, the company has stated that they will get OBS' name removed from theirs at the earliest.Streamlabs@streamlabs12:22 PM · Nov 18, 2021210951115https://t.co/00sjHsmntFThe quick outrage on the internet seems to have done its part, since it prompted immediate action from the popular Twitch service software.
