Intel’s new graphics software removes ‘Studio’ recording and streaming features

Intel's new Graphics Software has arrived with a surprising omission: the “Studio” tab, which housed streaming and recording features in the previous Arc Control software. According to Intel, this feature has been removed due to low user usage.

This decision has left many users scratching their heads, especially considering the growing popularity of game streaming and content creation. The Studio tab in Arc Control provided a convenient hub for broadcasting gameplay to various platforms, utilising AI-powered camera features, and creating shareable highlight reels.

In response to a user query (via Reddit), Intel confirmed the removal, stating that the Studio features saw “very low user usage” and that many of these functionalities are already available in third-party applications like OBS, Steam, and Windows GameBar.

While these alternative solutions offer similar features, removing integrated streaming and recording tools from Intel's software seems a step backwards. Many users appreciate the convenience and streamlined workflow of having these features readily available within a unified platform, similar to how Nvidia has it on the App. Intel's suggestion to rely on third-party apps might create unnecessary hurdles for less tech-savvy users or those new to streaming and content creation. While a powerful tool, OBS can be daunting for beginners, and Steam and GameBar offer basic recording capabilities but lack the Arc Control Studio feature set.

It's worth noting that Intel hasn't completely ruled out the possibility of resurrecting these features in the future, stating that they might reconsider if there's enough user demand.

KitGuru says: Do you take advantage of built-in streaming features like those offered by the Studio tab of Arc Control? Do you think Intel's new Graphics Software should have them?
