Guests On Stream / Conferencing

[swooph]

Hi guys, been trawling through youtube and google endlessly on this, I was wonder if anyone can share their option

I want to be able to bring guests in, zoom style with as little latency as possible, and high quality audio / video and have it all customisable to an extend to work well with my current obs layers. what are the best solutions out there for this? I know of OBS ninja, but seems like there's a lot of manual work to get that to look right and the end user needs to be tech savyy it would seem.

Most talk shows I've seen tend to use "Skype for Creators". It's a special build that provides an NDI output for each call participant, which tends to make setup pretty easy (even if people do need to join beforehand so they can be assigned to their own NDI input in OBS). Many professional setups will have one scene with all of the NDI inputs and any lower-third nameplates to make it easy for a technician to go down the line, add everyone and get their information populated before changing to the scene with the guest(s).

You can also use Zoom, Discord, or most other conferencing software, Window Capture it, duplicate the capture, and crop each down to size. Less great, but still workable.
