Method

Tom Maneri, Ali Moiz and Murtaza Hussain launch TwitchAlerts in San Francisco in 2014 so streamers can show and collect tips on screen, renaming it Streamlabs in 2016 and building Streamlabs OBS. Logitech acquires it on 26 September 2019 for 89 million dollars in cash plus earn out. Streamlabs adds Crossclip, Willow tipping links and Streamlabs Charity, and drops the OBS name in November 2021 after the open source project objects. It remains Logitech's creator software arm in 2026; a reported 2026 data breach claim is unconfirmed.
