Question / Help How to autorun a webcam stream from a server

[ithacadigital]

Hi,
I have set up a virtual server (Windows 2012 R2) to run a webcam which I remote into and can successfully stream from. However, when I log out of the remote session the stream stops.

I can set OBS to run as a service, but I cannot figure out how to set the OBS to start streaming the specific webcam video that I need to run when I'm logged out. Is there something that can be configured to auto start a video stream from a server without having to keep a remote session running indefinitely on my local computer?

Thanks,
-Matt

dont logout of the session. mstsc to your server, start OBS those close remote desktop, which should then preserve the session. the service you made for OBS needs to have "-start -profile webcam" replacing "webcam" with the name of the profile you built for that recording setup.

EDIT: I have yet to test this but it should work.
