Can some one please help me to understand how to make it so me and my friend can do a dual Pc stream we both have gaming pcs and will be in the same room we just need help form switching to one another. Please help
Is there any other way with out having to but another pc??Buy another PC (dedicated streaming server). Install NDI plugin on it and OBS Studio. It will be the NDI server and do x264 encoding.
On your computer and your friends computer, install OBS Studio and NDI plugin. These will be NDI clients.
Connect all computers with fast gig switch and Cat 6 Ethernet.
On the streaming server, you setup OBS Studio and create two NDI sources that you place into a scene. Each source would be layed out to fill the entire screen or you can split them so that both of you can be seen. You toggle the hide/show state of each NDI source to go "live" or go offline. Just click the eye icon to control.
What will that do and is it free??Look at Lightstream Prism.

What would I use to switch them back and forth?? And thank you so much you have helped me very much!!You don't have to have a third PC. You can have one machine run a game, run OBS and send NDI, and the other run a game, receive that NDI feed, and composite them and stream. (This should be the stronger of the two). You'll likely want an external device to switch scenes.
So I would just have that and then switch in obs? How do I switch it in obs like is there a button??OBS-Websocket is a plugin that will let you use a web browser on another device on the same network (tablet, phone, another PC) to switch scenes in OBS.

I’m sorry I just want to do it right and I don’t understand it yet. But thank you again for the help so farSo I would just have that and then switch in obs? How do I switch it in obs like is there a button??
Thank you so much!! I understand now!! So this will make it so we can switch from pc to pc on the same stream? Correct? And thank you agin!!You install the module according to its instructions. You then open a web browser on another device on the same network, and navigate to this page:
http://t2t2.github.io/obs-tablet-remote/
And enter the IP address on your local network of the machine running OBS with the websocket plugin. That web page will present buttons you can use to control OBS functions, including switching scenes.
So you need to have one pc revive NDI and then just hide it and un hide it when you want itCould you go more in depth how do we switch from one another?
