Question / Help Broadcast to mms://

So my school does morning video announcements with the mms:// protocol from Wirecast. The homeroom teachers open a link something like mms://192.168.0.1:25540 (example only obviously) and it launches in Windows Media Player. There are almost weekly issues with Wirecast and it costs a fortune, so we'd like to use OBS. To be compliant with district policy, we have to stick with the mms:// protocol and can not use any streaming services like YouTube or Twitch. If anyone knows how to get this up and running, it would be greatly appreciated.

OBS-Studio to NGINX-RTMP
From NGINX-RTMP with ffmpeg to mms
but if you want you can direct acess the stream with browser
so there is no need for mms

or i think there is an option for direct ffmpeg output but i dont know if it works

Could I ask you to elaborate on the exact process of integrating this? And also I would like to reword something I said earlier in that the video stream cannot leave the building. I’m not sure if your solution meets this requirement. If it does apologies but I would like to know.

nginx is an http server running on linux windows etc... you can download a precompiled version for windows with rtmp-module included or on linux install libnginx-mod-rtmp with nginx.
with nginx-rtmp you can relay your stream to other server or services or use it as provider directly

so in short you can host your own streaming server and people can watch the stream direct in browser
or (this is linux only) you can use the exec in the server setting to auto redirect incoming streams to mms://
and arcive previous streams etc etc etc ....
