Hi there, I do live video at events and just got a second camera to use with OBS. Both cameras have operators on them, and I want to be able to view both angles and choose between them live. Is there any "source monitor" I can set up with both angles, but only have one of the angles stream at once?

I've used some other streaming softwares at work with this feature, hopefully this isn't an obvious or overasked question but I just can't seem to get it!

Thanks

I'm currently using studio mode, with each camera set up as a different scene and "swap preview and output streams" enabled in the cut menu. This way I can technically see both cameras at once, and it swaps the preview to the unused camera. It works, but is very limiting in terms of editing graphics and limits it to only 2 cameras visible.

It looks like this just isn't the intended audience for OBS, a quad view switcher plugin would be a killer update though!

I know this is from 2017 but just in case any one else sees this you can use multiview which shows you all sources with the preview and program as well. You get to multiview by clicking on View > Multiview (Full screen or windowed)
Hope this is what you are looking for - and if you don't see it if any one else does hope it helped you.
