Is it possible to use a laptop to encode the video from a desktop? I do not have a streaming built computer or two monitors. Oh the joys of first world problems.

laptops are horrible encoders. it is possible but usually not much advantage from a good desktop. especially with options like NVENC, quicksync, VCE that use the GPUs hardware encoder. Yes these aren't as good quality wise per the same bitrate but anything is better than a laggy stream or PC right?
 
I guess I may try to look into those options to see if I can use GPU encoding. I am still new to all this. Just started about 30 - 45 minutes ago .

Also, I know the laptop would not be great but with it being a macbook pro maybe it will be better than a cheap laptop.
