I didn't like 2 years ago when I originally tried it, never tried the SLOBS, so I can't vouch for StreamLabs with OBS, I just know their stuff was always broken or failing to load for me back then, so thats when I swapped to Elements and I've been using them ever since.

It's only Twitchs AWFUL app I have problems with. More replies ... Personally, I use the S0undTV app on all my Android stuff; phone, Firesticks, tablets. Works well and is nicely minimalist to keep it snappy and responsive. No idea how it'll work on a folding device, but worth a shot.
