Config for multi-user.

[deano_au]

Hi there.
I have just set up a new studio at a local tech college. They want each of the lecturers to be able to come in and use their own login to access the computer that has OBS on it for recording. Is there a way I can put a config file somewhere so that each time a new user logs in and starts OBS it always comes up with the same Scene I have set up.
thanks in advance.
regards
Dean

Automatically preconfiguring from a central distribution point, so that OBS comes up with your config without any human intervention, is somewhat complex and may involve scripting and certain preconditions. This is the task of your network administration.

Very easy instead is minimal manual configuration. Export your demo config with Profile->Export and Scene collection->Export (you need both for a full config) and provide the two json export files at some shared network directory available for everyone. Tell your students to import these at the start of each lecture.
The Scene collection export will contain scenes and sources you provide, and the Profile export will contain every other setting such as encoder and output settings.
