Simulcast builds of OBS are available. Simulcast is when a client generates multiple encodes of a video. Testers and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Design Discussion: https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/55 Use it against your favorite WHIP ingest. If you don't have one check out https://github.com/glimesh/broadcast-box. It is a reference implementation of a WHIP/WHEP server. I hope/believe the impact of this will be much greater then WebRTC. This could benefit all broadcast workflows. * Higher Quality Videos - Decoding and re-encoding causes quality loss. Generating all the renditions from the source video is going to be a big improvement for viewers. * Lower Latency - Removing the additional encoding/decoding allows video to be delivered faster. * Reduce complexity - With Simulcast setting up a streaming server becomes dramat

Project leads created the original PR + RFC * PR https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/pull/7192 * RFC https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/43 I tried to keep the size as small as I could. It is just basic audio+video (no Simulcast/ICE Renegotiation etc...) It has been a tough process, but I am going to keep working on it until I can get consensus.

The biggest problem - it doesn't work[1][2] with Wayland. So, for example, with Fedora 32 default installation it is impossible to make it record either whole screen or just a selected window. [1] https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/2471 [2] https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/14

More info can be found in the recently merged RFC for those interested: https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/15

I haven't tried yet but there's some work related to this going on in OBS https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/15#issuecomment-6054...

The CEO of shopify put a 10,000$ bounty toward your hope. https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1242641154576965634 https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/15

It's being worked on: Tobi Lutke (Shopify CEO) has put out a $10,000 bounty for cross platform virtual camera for OBS - https://twitter.com/tobi/status/1242641154576965634 - https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/2568 - https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/15 via dashesyan https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22749401

This is effectively our single biggest requested feature right now: https://ideas.obsproject.com/posts/41/multiple-video-outputs https://ideas.obsproject.com/posts/7/multi-service-streaming... https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/8 Much more details in those links than the forum thread you posted that explains why we haven't done it already. Most of the issue is UI, which is most of what is discussed in that RFC. We need to change the paradigm on how outputs are handled in the UI to support things, and UI is really, really hard. We basically have to throw out a large portion of the application UI and start over to accomplish this, which is a monumental undertaking, and we just haven't had the time or resources to devote to it with all the other higher priority items that keep coming up. We want it. Users want it. It's definitely not an

I randomly learned OBS a while ago for doing some twitch streams in the evenings. I'm so glad I did. I run a 6,000 people company during the day and have OBS setup to push into Google Meet. I've done townhall with live on-screen Q/A voting, hosted podcast discussions, done PIP product reviews. I use its video record feature to react to figma prototypes and post the MP4s in the respective channel for discussion. OBS is an amazing tool and its worth learning. Even simple things like adding a compressor to an audio stream can make a huge difference to the quality. As one of our coaches recently said "Video quality is the new presence in 1:1s". On windows its reasonably easy to output OBS to a virtual camera for video conferencing software through a plugin. I've posted a bounty of $10k recently to make this a native feature and it's getting l

We're hoping sooner than later thanks to Tobi's bounty on this. You can follow the design spec at https://github.com/obsproject/rfcs/pull/15 if you're interested.

Last week, HN's front-page featured "Proposed bounty for adding virtual camera" [0] that ended up generating an RFC. [1] You might find some encouraging and helpful information there, if you haven't seen those links already.
