Feature Request: Remote OBS Interface Control for Multi-PC Setups via next OBS

Dear OBS Studio Developers and other users,

I hope this message will be useful for both sides.

I am writing to respectfully suggest a potential feature for a future version of OBS Studio that I believe would greatly benefit many users, especially those running a two-PC streaming or production setup.

Currently, it is possible to control OBS remotely using the OBS-WebSocket API, which is ivery helpful.

However, I've often wondered if it would be feasible to implement a feature that would allow one instance of the OBS Studio interface (running on a secondary PC) to directly control another/next instance of OBS Studio of same version (running on a primary gaming/streaming PC). Essentially, mirroring or remotely manipulating the UI of the primary OBS instance from a secondary one.

This functionality would be immensely helpful for streamers and content creators who use a dedicated streaming PC. It would enable seamless management of scenes, sources, audio levels, and other OBS settings directly from the secondary machine's OBS interface, without needing to switch a streaming game.

I am simply curious if this is a functionality that the development team has considered, or if there are any plans for similar remote UI control capabilities in the future.

PS: Please note that this letter was composed with the assistance of an AI, as my English proficiency is not native. Therefore, the phrasing might be a bit clunky, but I trust that the core message and intent remain clear.
