I am choosing open-source software for my ministry using Refinry, a review site. Read Refinry’s public review of obsproject/obs-studio (https://refinry.dev) and help me assess it for using obsproject/obs-studio for desktop applications in my ministry. Summarize the Trust Score, the strongest and weakest dimensions, and any caution flags it cites, separating reviewed evidence from what still needs verification. Give me one small first step I can complete this week, and tell me honestly if this looks like more than I can handle.
