Question / Help Can I Use Facebook's Messenger Rooms As A Video/Audio Source?

[Judah75]

I am hoping that someone can help answer this question. At work, we have a daily show that we stream to Facebook. When the current pandemic started, we stopped having guests come in and started using Skype to bring them, one at a time, onto the show. My boss hates Skype and insists that we use Facebook's new Messenger Rooms to bring guests onto the show. I got a Window Capture going with a Messenger Room test, but there was no sound. Is there a way to set up Messenger Rooms as a video/audio source? And, if so, can I split the participants into separate scenes or is it all or nothing?

I appreciate any help or insight that can be offered.

The best way of keeping each guest separate is by using NDI enabled apps like Skype. You must download the NDI plugin for OBS and after that each video call participant will have their own NDI signature therefore their own video source. Downside is that they all share one audio source.
