I work on WHIP support in https://obsproject.com I find it disappointing to see people still struggling with the things that I hoped it would solve. I also maintain a https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box as a demo server to run it against. Increasing user control/interoperability is best for users. I tried to show off even more use cases in https://webrtcforthestreamer.com/

I work on WHIP in OBS and an open source project Broadcast Box[0]. I made this site/video to talk about the reasons why https://webrtcforthestreamer.com I hope this site can convince more people to check this stuff out. If you are curious or have feedback I would love to hear. [0] https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box

Yes! I maintain https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box for this. You can try it out at https://b.siobud.com to see if you like it first. It if fits your needs then go for the self host :) I run my instance on Hetzner I want to add more features to it, but I have been focused on OBS mostly lately. If you have any ideas/needs that would make it work for you and your friends I would love to hear! Join the discord and would love to chat. What I want to do next is make a 're-broadcast feature'. So friends can stream to it + hang out. When they are ready they hit a button and then goes to Twitch/YouTube etc...
