Hey folks!

I'm trying to set up a stream where I can record not only what I'm doing on my current desktop, but also what I have going on on a second computer in the house.

The most robust and desirable solution would be for me to run OBS Studio on the second computer and be able to remotely control its OBS Studio, then capture the OBS output on my main desktop.

Practically, all I really need is to capture what's happening on that computer's one monitor. I know I can use a capture card to do this but I'm trying to avoid the additional hardware. I'm almost certain this can be done over the network (and I have cat6 run throughout the house, for what it's worth).

You could setup an rtmp server with monaserver or nginxserver and stream the desktop of your second pc to that. Then capture it on the main pc.

Do you have any idea what the latency on that is?

I'll look into those protocols/solutions this evening!
